People will probably disagree but...Crossfit. A well structured CF plan with regular heavy lifting and short metcons will prepare you for the military very nicely.

Due to my job I'm often out of town and some places I go to have no gym at all. The only times I'm available to work out are Friday-Sunday (or possibly Mondays) I know most programs like GSLP, SS or...

Your friend is an idiot. Do the program as written and you'll be fine.

That is a crap routine. Go to the stickies and pick a proven program like SS, GSLP, WS4SB or something like that.


but on rest days...just rest and recover.

He's helping me train for both powerlifting and running a 5km. So it is possible. So far I'm seeing good results.

I was at the gym the other day and saw some teenage girls texting on their phones and doing bicep curls with a 2 inch range of motion with 3lb weights. I saw some different girls on a stationary bike...

Read the stickies at the top of the page and read the wiki you linked to (obviously you didn't) It answers all your questions. We aren't here to spoon feed you, do the research yourself. Your...

That's BS. You don't need to be at a certain strength to do 5/3/1 (Jim even made a program for beginners) Lifting is a marathon not a sprint...why the rush?

OP: if I was you I'd do Boring But...

Eh as long as my strength gains come back faster I'm ok with that.

Previously I was doing Madcows but due to moving I haven't been to the gym in 3 months. Since I put on a bit of weight should I just head back to the gym and get back to lifting? Will I see the much...

Former Crossfitter here.

I found before class we always did a few strict pull ups as part of our warm up. Since in most WoD's you will be doing kipping pull ups (which doesn't help shoulder...

How important is assistance work if someone's goal is just to get stronger? It looks really confusing since people don't talk much about what sort of starting weights to use or how to increase the...

Where the hell is leg day? You will look dumb with massive arms and chicken legs. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Stick to a proven program like SS or if you want more muscle look into a program...

Right now I weigh about 155lbs, my 1RM stats are:

Squat: 250
Deadlift 320
OHP: 115
BP: 180

I was on GSLP for a while but found myself stalling on squats and deadlifts after a couple of...

Hey everyone. I've been powerlifting for a while now. My numbers are going up but I'm starting to feel slugish. So I want to add more conditioning into my routine. I chose 5/3/1 since it's the most...

I squat low bar with Weightlifting shoes and I find they help a lot with hitting depth. I recommend them.

Your lifts are still really low. You'd be better off sticking to a program like SS or GSLP for a while

You didn't post a workout routine you only named body parts on different days.


The best beginner routine is something you can make daily gains on like SS, SL or GSLP.

Quoting yourself. Geee that sure is smart =P

Your routine sucks. Go on something proven like Starting Strength, Stronglifts, Greyskull or 5/3/1.
