Good information in this thread.

The warmup sets are presented to prepare you for your working sets. Basically, the whole idea behind warmup sets is to choose weights that are low enough that they won't tire you out before your...

Give us an example of the weights you're using. Are you doing all of the warmup sets? If it's that bad, you may want to consider lowering the weight and working from there (adding 5lbs per...

Alright sounds good, I'm going to go for it. Thanks.

Also, it looks as though you're making great progress from the other posts of yours that I've read. Keep it up!

Hey Tad, have you been doing hiit on your off days since week 1? I too am doing Starting Strength and I started with hiit on my off days but stopped (this is only my 2nd week) b/c I read the...

Awesome spreadsheets. Hope ya'll won't mind if I use them as well.

I replied to you in a different thread. I did interval training for the first few non-workout days, and I asked about cardio and it probably should be kept to low intensity. As you already know and...

That's why I think it's amazing that a lot of guys are trainers after I read Rippetoe's book. I go to a Gold's Gym and all I see the trainers use with their clients are machines, especially Smith...

Hey man, excellent progress! I feel ya on the dehydration - I just feel like I can never get enough water throughout the day. Anyhow, I'm subscribed and looking forward to seeing you reach your...

Initially not so much soreness in my bi's and tri's but I expect that to change as the weeks go by.

ozzizen, it's good to know I'm not the only one feeling sore after the first week. Keep it up! Do you have a log right now? I've been writing my workouts down, but I haven't started a thread to...

1) He doesn't only incorporate bench/dead/squat, but those are "the Big 3." He also uses The Press (I think some do Military Press) as well as the Power Clean. So all muscles are worked if you do...

I asked about doing high intensity interval training on off-days (cardio) and the one response that I got suggested that low-intensity would be the way to go since you're working legs every day on...

What is the opinion on high intensity interval training for off-days (cardio) while doing this program? I ask because I don't want to stray away from the program, yet I'd like to maximize fat loss...

You're a beginner so just by going to the gym and working out you'll make great initial gains. I too am a beginner, so I know this to be true because for two months I just went to the gym and did...

Best flavors I've ever tasted were Muscle Milks Banana Creme and Mocha Joe (even though I hate coffee).

I currently use ON 100% Whey Chocolate Mint and it tastes pretty good in water so far. I...

I don't know if this will help you, but if you refer to the part in Rippetoe's book where he talks about periodization, a "variation in training load and intensity for ensuring continued progress",...

You're reading a thread for Rippetoe's Starting Strength program. All of the exercises are explained/performed with barbells in this program.

However, he does say in the book that there are...

Awesome, thanks!

Just wanted to say, awesome picture of the pendlay bent row. I'm going to try this for the first time at the gym today (also first time doing the press), and your step-by-step description is great. ...
