Question about SS

[NievesCT]

It says

<u>Workout A</u>
Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
Deadlift 1x5

Isnt squat just lowerbody for the most part?
Bench is chest and deadlift is legs. What about bicep and all those things. I don't know very much about working out but where is the stuff for back and biceps etc. Is there something I'm not getting?

[JasonWClark95]

Yes, workout B!

[Khris132]

deadlift will actially hit alot of muscle groups

[NievesCT]

So just to make sure

it says

Workout A
Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
Deadlift 1x5

Workout B
Squat 3x5
Press 3x5
Power Clean 5x3

Training days are 3 per week on non consecutive days. A typical Mon/Wed/Fri works well for many although the particular day of the week should be whatever fits your schedule best. I spent a lot of time lifting on Sun/Tue/Thur, for example.

No, you cannot skip the weekend and fit 7 workouts into a two week period instead of 6.



What would that be? Mondays I do workout A? Can someone explain. Thanks

[Lettucebrah]

Monday = Workout A

Wednesday = Workout B

Friday = Workout A

Then the next week you switch it around

Monday = Workout B

Wednesday = Workout A

Friday = Workout B

You just keep it in a simple rotation, One week you would do A,B,A , then next week you would pick up where you left off and do B,A,B, and then A,B,A the following week, etc.

I would personally replace power cleans with barbell rows, and add some bicep work on one of the workouts.

Any recommendations for the bicep work?

All the advice given in this thread is great except for the above post ^ (#10, no offense man but it says it in the program) ^

Ideally you should take a 2 day break after 3 sessions (the end of your weekly training period).

You can lift straight through and get 7 workouts in 2 weeks. I am sort of messing around with that style right now to try and get a 315x3x5 squat by May 1st. I might be able to do it with enough sleep and calories. Make sure you eat and sleep alot.

Also remember the #1 most important thing is to add 2.5 pounds to each side (total of 5 pounds) to the bar for every single lift you can complete for 3 sets of 5 reps. This is how you make quick gains in strength and muscle. Eating and sleeping will allow you to recover for the next day.

So to confirm, because I've been getting different responses. This is correct right?

He was asking about sets / reps for curls, not the overall program.
