Starting Strength to Get 2xBW Squat, Deadlift, 1x Bench

Bigger Stronger Leaner

I read a recent article on Elitefts and it basically said you need a strong foundation before worrying about anything else.

So right now at 106kg and 20% + BF
Bench is 80kg x 5
Deadlift is 110kg x 5
Squat is 80kg x 5
Chinups BW x 5

So in to get upto such weights I need to double and a 1/3 most of my lifts.

Will following the starting strength program work? or would following 5-3-1 or 5x5 be better?

I have previously followed a 6-3-6 program which was 6 x 50%, 3 x 75%, 6 rep max for comound lifts and 2 x 8 for assistance exercises and I had a Bench of 100kg, Squat of 110kg and Deadlift of 130kg, which is close to my goals, but that was before marraige and a child. I can train 3 times a week - so starting strength looks good.

But would be grateful for some input.

Thanks

You bench the same as you squat? dam lol. 5x5 programs are great, definitely should fit your goals.

Starting strength for 6-8 weeks to get back into it then move on to texas method or 5/3/1
