[QUOTE="T-Rex, post: 459487, member: 43918"] I do a relatively similar routine to this, and gained about 2kg in less than a month when I started. SS and similar programs are well known for helping you put on quite a lot in the early stages, although it's advised you eat a lot too (I think Rippetoe says something like you should be getting yourself kicked out of an all you can eat buffet 2 times a week). Conn 15, if you decide to do Rippetoe or Starr's 5x5, you might find you want to drop your squat sets once or twice a week to 4x5 or only squat twice a week and possibly replace that third squat session with a 4x5 deadlift session, I found squatting 3 times a week is very tough on the legs if you have only been squatting once a week prior or even not at all prior. Although it's all up to how YOUR body copes with it though as it's important to remember to take advice from what your body tells you. Also, as people have said, shakes aren't so important, just adjust your diet to include more protein. I eat chicken breast twice a day usually. Boneless, skinles chicken has around 20g of protein per 100g, I often eat about 500gms of chicken a day, some days up to 750gms. I fkn love chicken. [/QUOTE]
