At least once a year I come back to his program for the main reason it is simple and it works.

In Mark Rippetoes book Starting Strength p.264 he states that each rep starts and stops on the floor. Some people call them the Pendlay Row. I do them when I am working on strength and power. If I am...

It seem a little much to me but not that bad depending on your level of fitness. I have used the one below and had good results.

Mon:
Squat: 5 sets of 5 @85% 1RM
Leg Press: 3 sets 6-8 ...

I guess I should have clarified more. Several times a year I will train for pure strength and will either go back to Rips or Starrs programs the rest of the time I am doing some sort of split. I just...

I like a Leg/Push/Pull routine like the one below with cardio worked in on nonlifting days. However IronCharles is right. You need to find what works for you.

I use to be able to squat 3 days a week but recently my knees feel like they just can not handle it any more even rotating in medium light and heavy days.

How many of you over 50 still squat 3...

Years ago I lifted late afternoons after eating. Then because of family, church, and obligations with the job I had to start lifting in the mornings. I get up at 4:00 am take a hot shower, drink a...

Your plan looks good. I khave done on that looks just like it. An alternative I have done would be the one below. Do your abs on cardio day. Also follow JolietKev's advice on diet.

Workout A:

I have seen something similar to this in Flex Magazine years ago. Something Ed Coan put his name on except he did not have Power Cleans or a Saturday workout. He also progressed over an 8 week period...

Amen to that. I think that is one of the hardest lesons to learn.

I like to eat so I would say increase cardio. Fortunately most of the foods I like are healthy and clean but like mentioned above you can not out train a real bad diet.

I have always liked Ed Coan. He is a animal.

I did them during the same routine following an Ed Coan routine in Flex Magazine a couple of years ago. It was only 2 sets of 8 to 10 and I have always remembered something Lee Haney said about SLDL...

My wife and I have a great marriage but there are two things she said she would never do again. One is work for me and the other is workout with me. There are a few things that I am real anal about...

Ironwill,

This is an interesting routine that I may try. How long did you do it and what kind of results did you get.

This is what I do almost daily for the past 20 years. I lift in the morning and take a brisk walk in the evenings with my wife. It our time to catch up with each other and after 21 years of marriage...

I went to the gym this morning and my buudy and I noticed these two young guys come in and start working out. We figure they were doing Rippetoes program because they were carrying his book with him....

Amen to that. Also you don't need to go all out with your punches to get a good workout. I do not use a heavy bag anymore because it aggravates the arthritis in my hands but when I started out years...
