Stronglifts adds weight so quickly and you recover super fast from lighter weights anyway, so the progress is always very quick to begin with.
I moved away from it last year as I ended up seemingly banging against a brick wall with my bench around the 60kg area.
With a different program (Candito) I'm on track to bench bodyweight (85kg) by the end of the year.
I struggle to fit in decent squat and deadlift workouts while having high volume of cycling but as we are coming to the end of the season I'll be concentrating on those much more until next spring. A couple of zwifts a week should keep my cycling fitness at a reasonable level.
Next year my aim is to bench 100kg, squat 130kg and deadlift 150kg. Let's see if that's realistic or not!
