Beginners program

Your point?

It isn't a bench program it's a 'starting' strength program

Pretty sure Andy wouldn't even have a trainee benching if it were his call

FWIW I run it -

Squat - I ALWAYS squat first cos I die a little so like to get it out of the way
Bench - I enjoy benching so like to start fresh
SLDL
Rows
OHP - last 3 ordered to alternate upper and lower for best rest
Curls

Curious what makes you think a different order is necessary? Wouldnt putting bench last make for a really low bench?
Click to expand...

Press
Squat
SLDL
Row
Bench press
Curl

I'd start with the press when the back is fresh and well, just works a lot of muscle around the shoulder

I place the exercise in order of most muscle, biggest mucles...worked down to the least

The squat is primarily a lower body exercise
The SLDL is a good accompaniment to the squat

A supported row is just all round back builder

Muscles for the bench will still have fresh strength.

Thought I'd throw this out there. Coming to the end of this program German Volume Training

So many threads and posts about programs on ausbb that I'm finding it hard to what to research to work out what I do next. Would appreciate being pointed in the right direction by those of you in the know!

I've been training for 9 months now, but some of this has been sport specific, e.g. plyometrics. I definitely CAN'T do the weights mentioned by PTC at the beginning of this thread (bench 100kg, squat 140kg and deadlift 180kg).

My goal is to build strength and size/weight, getting to about 80kg (started at 66kg, now 72kg), and then maintain that there, lean up and refocus on sports again (agility, power etc).

Ultimately I don't want to be huge, prefer a fit athletic look, and want the extra strength and size to support my sports.

Given all the above, should I be doing this beginner program or look for something else?

Appreciate any ideas!

Be careful bro don't wanna accidently do to many deads and squats you might wake up huge one day. <jks>

Do the beginners programme or starting strength don't worry it won't turn you into Ronnie Coleman just gonna be the most efficent way of getting into shape

Hehe. Better be extra careful then!

My worry wasn't that I'd end up huge as such, more just saying that's not my goal.

Biggest query over the beginners program was A) I've already been training a short while and B) I didn't want to too badly affect my existing traits for sports; speed, agility, endurance.

But seeing PTC's "minimum weights before moving off the beginners program" made me think I am more beginner than I thought?
