Search Rippetoes starting strength and do EXACTLY what he says (which is just what I said.I pretty much just repeated what Rippetoe has said). If you do what he says to do as far as diet is concerned...

Hello everyone I've recently stalled on my current program and have been considering 5-3-1 because it's a well though out program that's great for steady progress and flexibility. My question is how...

Do Starting Strength and get in 5000 calories a day. Sounds cliched but it works BIG TIME. Using a bodybuilding split like you are is not good for a guy who's never touched a barbell. If you work out...

Disregard abs acquire mass. And on that note EAT EVERYTHING YOU CAN FIND. 3000 calories is NOT hard to get. That's about one extra good,solid meal,emphasis on the GOOD,SOLID. Make sure it's got a...

Very true. I should have been more specific about how "athletic" someone is. Micheal Phelps and Lance Armstrong are clearly incredible athletes but would not perform as well in the tests I mentioned...

I disagree. Because someone is a certain age doesn't mean that they are any more/less intelligent than someone older or younger than they are it is about there experience and education on the matter....

Not mad at all. I'm actually REALLY impressed. Not that my opinion matters at all but that is exceptional explosiveness. I would also go so far as to say that you would also be quite good at at the...

THAT is an excellent point. What I mean by the original post was that in general it seems that weightlifters have better overall strength not only in the squat (both powerlifting style and in a full...

Everybody always says this but EAT A LOT and do Rippetoes Starting Strength. If you do the program EXACTLY as outlined and eat a lot you WILL gain good muscle weight. Rippetoe makes a living helping...

Eat MOAR FOOD,do Starting Strength until you can't make gains,do Madcow 5x5 until you can't make gains,then after that enjoy the benefits of being a badass and knowing how to lift :)

Hahaha so so true. I was the other way around and that sucks having to diet down to being thinner than building that mass back.

Like everybody said bro EAT A LOT. If you eat a lot and do Rippetoes starting strength you'll make the best gains of your life and you'll make those gains quick as hell. Just NEVER EVER GIVE UP. If...

Try keeping your elbows tucked in a bit. It'll also let you use a bit more weight once you get the hang of the form. More weight=more growth

Starting Strength. Then when you can't do that move to Madcow 5x5. After you get all the gains you can from that program then I would use a bodybuilder style split. If you don't do that though make...

I don't mean to be disrespectful in the least but whenever I see a world record holder in the clean and jerk or snatch they always have extraordinary athleticism to go along with their incredible...

Thank you very much for the compliment Coach means a lot. I am very glad he is on my team and he is a great teammate by the way. What I want though is to be the strongest on my team because I am not...

Ok there's a guy on my team who's only a freshman weighs 160 and here's his lifts from what I remember

Squat: 400
Bench:240
Power Clean:245
Deadlift: 460
Seated military press: 205

Anybody want to say anything?

Hello everyone just wanted to get some opinions on my program to build general full body strength for football. Here goes:

Squat 5x5
alternating bench or overhead press 5x5
power cleans 5x5
or...

I've been training for two years and have some solid progress to show for it. My problem is that I've done either a program that was too advanced and hurt myself or done a program that was too simple...
