seen it.

The general consesus on this forum I believe is for a beginner to learn the basic compound movements.

So you won't recieve to many comments.

This program is built around the powerlifts.
I think it would be hard to find something better, in fact, as a true beginner program I think this comes from near bullet-proof thinking on developing powerlifts. Once someone has done this a few times, they progress on to other more refined programs.

For eg,
Week 1
1 day (Monday)
1. Box squat (squat movement)
6 reps 2 sets, add+10[kg] do 5 reps 6 sets (42)
2. Dumbell bench (bench movement)
8 reps 6 sets (48)
3. Dumbell Flies (conditioning/recovery)
10 reps 5 sets (50)d>
4. Pull ups (accessory)
6 reps 6 sets (36)
5. hanging leg raises (abs/accessory)
8 reps 5 sets (40)


3 day (Wednesday)
1. Incline bench (secondary bench movement)
4 reps 2 sets, add +5[kg] do 4 reps 5 sets (28)
2. Push Ups (hands shoulder width) (accessory/conditioning)
8 reps 6 sets (48)
3.Deadlift from pins (bar should 1-2” below the knee cap) (deadlift movement)
5 reps 2 sets, add +10[kg] do 5 reps 2 sets,
add +15[kg] do 4 reps 5 sets (40)
4. Lunges (accessory)
5 reps each leg for 5 sets. (25)
5. Hyperextension (accessory)
10 reps 4 sets. (40)



5 day (Friday)
1. Box squat (squat movement)
6 reps 1 set, add +10[kg] do 5 reps 2 sets, add+15[kg] do 5 reps 5 sets (41)
2. Bench (close grip, index finger on the smooth) (bench)
6 reps 1 set, add +5[kg] do 6 reps 2 sets. add+10[kg] do 5 reps 5 sets (43)
3. Dumbell flies (accessory)
10 reps 5 sets. (50)
4. Seated good mornings (accessory)
5 reps 5 sets. (25)
5. Sport games ( G.P.P ) (conditioning)
30 minutes (football, basketball, [n]/[tennis])d>
 
so- I'm basically saying this is all about compound movements- with accessory or conditioning. Why conditioning? This develops the athletic attributes needed to train effectively. Why the accessory- to develop the more generalised athletic attributes, to improve recovery and to avoid injury.
The point behind box squatting, is that this is taken to be a useful tool for developing the squat. Once novices/beginners get basic competence at squatting they 'graduate' to squatting without a box. Its possible to get there without a box, obviously- but this is a tried a trusted approach.

Click to expand...

depends on the skill level and conditioning, but once these boxes are checked, if the goal is increasing squat, bench and deadlift performance- I'd recommend something like Sheiko 37:
