If you want to train with higher reps then there are plenty of routines out there to choose from. No need to stick with something you don't really want to do.

Like others have said, you will add...

I think the volume in Starting Strength is already very low. If you remove one of the three weekly sessions then you have changed the program enough that you are no longer doing the program.

Why...

Whatever you do, make sure you get heavier weights than 40 lbs. If it's a barbell set, great. You'll need a shorter than average barbell (either 5' or 6') to fit your space. If you go with adjustable...

Do you do Olympic lifts? Do you dump your bars and require bumpers? What you buy should depend on your intended use.

If you are just doing ordinary strength training exercises and not dumping your...

I think that's fair criticism. I really liked the reviewer's attention to detail, but there was one statement that seems unsupported by any facts:



What are those options? Because if all of the...

Bulgarian split squats are excellent, although you'll still want to do some heavier two-legged work. A trap bar squat would be good, especially if you can elevate yourself 6-12 inches so that you can...

I like trap bar squats, especially when standing on a platform so you can squat fully without the ground stopping the movement short of full squat range. It feels like a very natural movement for the...

We won't know the range of heights you need. That will be determined by your physique and form. Do some tests, measure what heights make sense for you, and make your rack according to those...

You can probably be more efficient with your training by doing the basic exercises more frequently and skipping a lot of the accessory work for now. For example, squatting twice per week is probably...

All good points. A loaded bar isn't going to deviate much from straight up and down. If it does, then you're probably going to drop the weight, hurt yourself, and/or fall over from unequal forces....

The IronMaster SuperBench has a pullup bar attachment that works pretty well. You still have to store it when not in use, but if you are going to have a bench and free weights anyway then this is an...

I think that is a good decision. You could also experiment with different stances and variations of squats. Wide stance feels quite different from a narrow stance squat and may be more prone to...

The Losing Fat subforum will have more specific tips for you. In general, the weight training will give you more bang for your buck than cardio training. Your food intake will drive most of your...

I was in your position. Within a month you can be doing chinups if you train them multiple times per week. I used an assisted pullup machine at a gym, and I aimed at progression (adding reps or...

You can't build a great body in two months, and you certainly can't just coast after you've built a great body. If you want to look physically fit then you'll have to continually invest effort,...

Training legs is a compromise. You can do a bunch of unilateral moves such as split squats, lunges, single-leg Romanian deadlifts, etc., but you won't get quite the same hip power training effect you...

What is your goal? That will determine exercise selection, rep/set schemes, rest times, frequency, etc.

I like supersets for providing an efficient workout, but if I were to train purely for...

They're both sabre-style safety rods, right? That's the dealbreaker for me. About $200 more buys you a nicer version of each (ex. AmStaff TR025), and if used for >10 years should be worth the extra...

8' x 5' is probably the smallest amount of space you can use for barbell/power rack training. Alternatively, you can train with an adjustable set of dumbbells (PowerBlock or IronMaster) and a bench...

You could divide a typical weekly beginner workout routine into 4 days of exercises and then just keep looping through them. That's 6 days of 7 or 8 sets, which is around 45 sets per week. I wouldn't...
