Could you clarify? If you're starting from nothing and your goal is strength I'm not sure what could possibly be more efficient than SS.



Probably any program that does not depend on doing RPE 10 efforts. There's this cringe video segment of his where he confidently states that the grindy last few reps are the ones that matter, which has no scientific basis.

But as a novice, you can progress linearly for some time and it's viable, as long as you know when to tap out. And then you might as well start with something more long term altogether.


My observation is most lifters can't assess RPE/RIR if they don't start with an intensity driven program that forces failure as part of progression. Much better to learn how the feeling of grinding early on with baby weights with low injury chance.
