    Mass Building Workout

    I found a full body program on this site last year but can't seem to locate it now. The same workout was tweaked by two people on this site and one of them won and be came the featured workout or whatever. It consisted of 2 workouts ("Workout A" and "Workout B") with one being:

    Squats
    Bench Press
    Deadlifts
    Dips

    and the other was:

    Squats
    Standing Military Press
    Bent Rows
    Chin-ups

    Anyone know what workout this was, and where I can find it?
    Thanks

    This is the Rippetoe Starting Strength program. Check the sticky at the top of this forum and then look for a thread made by Dave76.

    Yes, that program would work as well. But, I wouldn't do 2/2 cadence, I would do 2/4 cadence (2 seconds up, 4 seconds lowering). Bring a notebook and always write everything down weight/reps, so next workout you know what you want to try to beat. You want to make each succeeding workout harder then the last by adding more weight or reps. You aren't going to get anywhere lifting the same weight week after week with a plethora of sets. And keep your workouts under 45 minutes, probably even shorter than that 20-30 minutes. You don't need alot of rest between exercises, just enough to get to it and load your weight on the bar.

    I did it for the first time last night, I was wore out by the end, took me right at about 40-45 minutes, and next time it will go smoother, knowing where I need to go this time. And first time out some of my reps were a little high so will ad weight to what I logged. Till I get my reps down. Ohh and sorry Format for jacking your thread, your title said mass building workout so figured it was a good place to ask about this program.

    Awesome. Keep reps in the 8-12 rep range. Once you can reach 10-12 add 5 lbs to the bar, and repeat process all over. Change exercises around every 8 weeks. You can either do Squats first or last. I usally do Squats last, and do your heaviest exercises first..So either Chest or Back first, then Shoulders, then Arms, then Legs. You want to make each workout harder, you don't want your muscles getting used to the same thing. That is why you strive for more reps/weight as much as possible. Don't worry about the pump, that doesn't mean anything for results. Don't look at your progress weekly, look at it monthly in your notebook, you will be stronger guaranteed!

    Don't listen to magazines or what people at your gym say because your only doing 1 work set til failure.
