Thinking of going to a BB split routine for Summer, now that I have a little more strength under me. I also want to get out on the bike more, something that I can't really do while squatting 3 x...

It's just that SS becomes a lot of effort, and ultimately if I'm not looking for strength gains, but rather mass gains, would I be better off/more motivated with a split type program NOW?

As...

Ultimately this is the question that may or may not force me to change my exercise plan. Basically my current plan to do get through Starting Strength until I am at least benching my bodyweight,...

Any suggestions for a specific 3 or 4 day plan?

I am currently about 2 months into Ripp's SS (for the second time), however due to a new job and other factors, time is a bit limited. Sometimes it's difficult to schedule non consecutive days and...

I have had ongoing lower pain pain for approx 4 - 5 years, it comes and goes. Most of the time the pain is very tolerable and isn't much more than a slight niggle, however some days can be quite...

Cramming 3 days of SS into 2 days is a bad idea isn't it?

Someone tell me I'm an idiot please.

Just came back from my second training run. Felt much better compared to the first - I was a fair bit looser and I don't think I'll have any issue with running double this distance (which will make...

Thanks

I've got the eating sorted. It's just the recovery.

As per my initial question - Is it better to do my gym work, then cardio the next day? or cardio and then gym work (i.e. while my legs...

Oh well. I assume the Excel logbook is pretty accurate at least.

Plus I've watched all of Rip's vids for proper form etc. Can't deny that that wasn't Rip.

To be honest I totally forgot I was even reading it in wiki, therefore assumed everything was written by Rippetoe himself.

Nah, probably not. Too much protein is better than too little though, IMO. Bear in mind that a 30g-35g scoop probably equates to 25g-30g.

No idea. I've never bothered counting. I just eat till I'm full/eat as often as I can.

But think lots of peanut butter, honey and banana sandwiches, eggs, mince, ribs, milk, potato, corn, yoghurt...

Think of it as a fun run that I just want to be able to finish in a reasonable fashion, that is, not dying in the ass half way through. Actually, think of it as a steady jog, not a run.

Upon...

Righto, third week into SS, going well, definitely straining with all my lifts, particularly squats and bench press, which I've reset 5% already as my technique was really crumbling underneath me...

EDIT: Nevermind... Whoever deleted did not check first.

Would it make sense to NOT do Rippetoe's? I mean, after all it's mainly focused on legs. Considering that lifting weights does not improve my cycling, and in fact makes it worse, and also considering...

Any other programs?
