Finally squatted 205 for 3 sets of 5 today. I've been stuck at 200 for so long. I finally backed down in weight and started over from 150. My legs are weak as hell, but I'm counting every victory.

I'm also stuck at 195 pounds. Not having a job means not having the money to buy enough food to get big as hell .

I've been doing this variation of Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength workout and can confirm that it is very good (for males and females alike):
