I agree with your point about progression being easier if you maintain consistency with your exercise selection. That said, I think chinups are a fundamental exercise that would benefit beginners more than curls would. My arms were pretty pathetic doing curls until I focused more on chinups.

upper and llower body together?
One concern I have is that is it preferable to do lower and upper body workouts together on the same day, as described in your program? Any side effects to this approach?
Secondly, how long do we follow this program? Do we stop it after a certain no of weeks or after we reach a certain weight level? I would assume after a certain stage, we need a more challenging and different routine?
thanks!
Sam

I think i like this
I think I like this better that the Rippetoe. I don't feel like I'm working my arms at all with the rippetoe. Thanks

cool workout...i wanna try it
slightly concerned though about doing BP and overhead press on the same day, 3 times a week. seems like alot of strain on shoulders.
also, how come there is an iso move for biceps and not for triceps? i feel like my bis get worked harder with back than my tris do with chest and shoulders.

Hi all pro.
I have just started into weight training at home for the last few weeks, doing most of the lifts in your guide but have not had any real plan to follow as yet. Just lifting and always trying to increase it no real direction other than trying to lift heavier as often as I could.
I have a football injury at the minute but as soon as it heals and I return to training I shall be using your training method.
Thanks for the post, I have been trying to come up with a plan other than just lifting heavy as I can from reading a lot of forums. I'm Not so directionless now, much appreciated.

Hi again,
I have a few questions. For the squat is it Full Squat or just to parallell? And the site I use to check out new exercises I cannot find Over Head Press, is this similar to Military Press?

Looks good for a hypertrophy workout .. but I agree with an earlier comment about lowering the rep ranges. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't those rep ranges just promote growth? I guess thats good if that was your goal but usually as a beginner you would want to increase strength until you hit a wall or so and then maybe to growth then to strength or whatever you want at that point.

I think this program is also a great choice for those finishing up Rippetoes and looking to add size. I think Rippetoes will add great strength for all new lifters, but size (muscle not fat) will only go so far on a low volume, low reps system for many lifters. Everybody will vary on this.
This program adds considerable volume, working different rep ranges, and based on different yet effective progression plan while using the best lifts.
Not to mention getting stronger in a different rep range. I'm going to start recommending it.

AP,
Cash, cheque, or money order? I'm kinda leery 'bout sendin' cash through the mail--those 100-dollar bills sorta stick out on the scanner...
Seriously, a fine post and excellent advice. Even the longtime lifters should be looking at this. Basics rule!"Don't call me Miss Kitty. Just...don't."--Catnip. Check out the Catnip Trilogy on Amazon.com

Alright Im a beginner, and just tried this routine in today's trip to gym(2nd time ever).
I like the workout, and feel I am working the muscles I want to build, however the workouts werent as intense(I used 10% below my max.lift weights), when I was all done in 30 minutes, I still felt like I had alot of energy leftover, so I spent the next half hour working out using other machines until my body felt depleted.
Most likely a noob mistake on my part, but I was always taught "no pain, No gain". I plan to go to the gym every other day giving me 48 hours to replenish glycogen, I do plan to follow the workout until I can find my own routine where I work out specific muscles for a specific day of the week.Weight progression:
May 21 2008 - 255 lbs
May 21 2009 - 215 lbs
May 21 2010 - 235 lbs
May 21 2011 - 245 lbs

The point of the 80% and 90% days is to allow recovery for the 100% day. It's a format used in many of Bill Starr's programs. If you keep adding volume on the 80% and 90% days, you defeat the purpose of the format of the program, and you will probably find it harder to progress. Just follow the routine how it's written.
