Thread: New workout before SS

Why not just start with the... Starting Strength program.

It's a perfect program for any beginner. There's no reason to do another program to prepare for it.

Wed - Lower
Deadlift 3 x 10/8/6

Front Squat 3 x 10/8/6
1 Abs

Fri - Upper
Clean & Press 3 x 10/8/6
Dips 3 x 10/8/6
