Starting Strength
The Starting Strength Wiki is an awesome resource detailing the simple, proven, and popular "SS" training program, book, and DVD created by Coach Mark Rippetoe. There is also a Starting Strength Forum run by the Coach, and a preconfigured Starting Strength Withfit Tracker. People generally use the SS program until they are able to squat almost twice their bodyweight, and then they move on to other routines like the ones listed below.
Powerlifting Routines
From Wikipedia: Simmons has worked with twenty-five World and National Champion powerlifters, twenty-seven lifters who have totaled over 2000 pounds, and a World Record holder in the 400-meter dash (Butch Reynolds). He is a strength consultant for the Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and numerous college football teams.
Simmons is the owner and trainer of the legendary Westside Barbell, located in Columbus, Ohio. Westside Barbell advocate the use of a system they call the conjugate method, based loosely on the conjugate parallel system advocated by various strength coaches in the former Soviet Union.
The training week in the Westside Barbell system typically consists of four sessions per week. Two of these sessions focus on upper body work, using the bench press as the main lift. One upper body session is used to lift maximal loads while the other is used for dynamic work using lighter loads with higher speed. The other two sessions focus on lower body work, with the squat and deadlift being the primary focus. One day per week is a maximum effort session while the other is a dynamic effort session, typically using box squats with a fast speed and lighter loads than the max effort day.
** More Coaching ** Rippetoe and Simmons are well known, but they're not the only coaches worth listening to.
