The true version is the one in the Starting Strength book.

If you don't have the book, you can find what it is here:

1. Typical novice programs are full body three days a week. You are too weak to need a 5 day split. Stick to compound lifts with big range of motion, and attempt to add weight on the bar each...

If you have a smartphone, get an app called personal training coach. It has Greyskull LP built in among others. The paid version allows you more customization. Great app.

You can't spot reduce fat, just like you can't spot add it. You create a caloric deficit, and your body decides which fat will come off to keep you alive. Keep doing it long enough, and most of the...

That video was very informative. I have never tried bands myself, but the arguments he made were convincing to me. If I was the one choosing, I would go with bands over dumbbells, because dumbbells...

Depends on what your budget is and how much room you have. The bang for your buck will be getting a squat rack with safeties or a power rack, and an Olympic barbell (45 lb is Standard, but you might...

I find that deadlifts, rows, and chins are not too bad on the wrists, as they are usually not needed to be twisted to get a grip. I would look at squat form as the most likely suspect, with bench and...

A second vote for doing Greyskull LP. It's a great advanced novice program, that you can run for quite a while, before needing to switch to an intermediate one like Texas method or 5-3-1. If you want...

Usually a result of bad form. Can you list what lifts you are doing, and a culprit might emerge. Squats are typically a common one. You are also at an age where connective tissue starts to lose its...

After the Paul Jordan YouTube video finished playing, this one queued up next for me. Quite entertaining:

Got an Ohio Bar in Stainless Steel to empty my Christmas budget from selling the wife's iPad. Love this bar. Only time I feel the knurl bite is doing overhead press. Otherwise it is a secure and...

I bought the Fitness Reality rack last year, and I have been very happy with it. I bought a couple J hooks and four plate holder bars to go with it from Titan Fitness, and that makes it even better....

Thanks for your input. I did more research on what the F scale means. The link form Rogue (https://www.roguefitness.com/theindex/article/f-scale-overview) appears to have some good information in it....

I have some money left over from Christmas, and thinking of using it to get a better barbell. I am currently using a cheap bar (hex nut) that I picked up off Craigslist a few years ago. When I picked...

Reebok training shoes 40% off on their website when you apply code TRAIN40. Today only apparently. Not trying to threadjack, but I think that's a good deal. Got me some Lifting PR black and whites...

Lifter PR shoes from Reebok. They have a promo for 40% off today only when you apply code TRAIN40 to training shoes, so normally $90, but got them at $54. Not a bad price for entry level shoes for a...

Probably will add Power Cleans to my program in the near future. It will be some time before I attempt to Power Snatch. Velcro belt was definitely a good one to use in the past with those movements.

I have been lifting with a cheap velcro Harbinger belt for past couple of years. Decided to go all in on something more and picked up a used Inzer forever 13 mm off eBay. Whoa this new belt is so...

If I were you, I would look into switching to Phrak Greyskull LP variant. All the lifts are pretty much the same as SL 5X5, but it's 3X5+ (the + meaning last lift is AMRAP). It is less volume per...

You will outgrow the dumbbells quickly, unless you spend of lot of money or spend a lot of time (which you said you don't want). Go with an Olympic barbell, a squat stand or power rack, a flat bench,...
