What happens when you’ve finished your Novice Linear Progression? In this episode, Stronger is Better host Nick Delgadillo joins Ray Gillenwater to discuss what to do next — how to transition intelligently from the Starting Strength Program into effective intermediate training.

Nick breaks down how to recognize when it’s time to move beyond novice programming, how to make changes reluctantly and purposefully, and how to manage stress and recovery as you advance. He walks through practical examples for each lift — the squat, press, deadlift, and bench press — explaining how small, deliberate adjustments extend your progress for months or even years.

“Programming changes are made because you have to, not because you want to.”“If your programming change makes things easier, it probably wasn’t a good one.”
