A year later, they're on Reddit saying they're still on SL after being in and out of the gym a few times with little or no progress made in months and no sense of direction for what to do next.Įven for those who actually do get to decent numbers and have success on an LP, It often comes with a lot of bad habits that need to be unlearned in order to continue onward. For total beginners who don't have that background-people who are new to working out altogether, never mind the weight room-what will typically happen is that just dialing in acceptable technique with light weights is a struggle and then their linear progression comes to a grinding halt well before it "should." Once the wheels fall off, they flounder and wonder why their progress sucks and if it was because they didn't do the program correctly or they just have bad genetics. Generally the people who do the best on SL are people who played sports and dicked around in the weight room or were in the military and then got serious with SL.
And this lack of foundation often limits the effectiveness of the program itself. The con is that it really doesn't do much in the way of building a general foundation that will allow you to continue making steady progress long term after you're off the program. You put more weight on the bar and got through it so you feel good about going in again next time. Initially it gets you in the gym and it gives you a basic goal with the instant gratification of numbers that proved you actually did something and you aren't spinning your wheels.
