    Starting Strength Babylovers... To... Reg Park 5 x 5.

    REG PARKS & SS is a lot alike... Yess, Op should stick with SS buttt... Its a lot like Babylovers, a little bit tweaked here and there...


    The first set of five would be about 60% or 90 lbs, and the second set of five would be about 80% or 120lbs. After that you would get down to the grit, what Reg liked to call Stabilizer Sets; 3 sets of 5 at 150lbs.

    How would we know? You have to front squat if you want to know how much you can front squat. Same as we can't tell how much you deadlift just by looking at your back squat.

    Tested Front Squat today, Gym doesn't have a Squat rack, so i use the Incline bench, as a rack... I had no problems back squatting with it, but using the incline rack for the front squat...
    It hurt my wrist trying to take it out the rack.. No more Front squatting; back squatting all the way :s

    I attempted my usually work set for back squats. 5 x 5 with 185... But it seems that i did too many front squats that i didn't have enough energy. My lower back starting feeling all the tension... I should invest in a belt?

    Reg parks beginner routine is solid.

    Edit: Talking about the one in your first post.. not the second one. IMO don't bother with phases.

    Weights are getting easy, with the bulk and all... I want to add 10-15 pounds to my worksets, but naww... Make small progression rather than big leaps and bounds; doing that will make you hit a brick wall.

    Oh, I'm gonna hit 170 over the summer. THAT DERE SUMMER BULK.
