    Time for a change

    Ready to switch programs for a little while. I've been using 5/3/1 for about the last 6 months. Any suggestions?

    Anything other than the 5/3/1 program, not trying to sound like a smartass but honestly can't really f*k up as long as its something different in some way.

    I think i might give starting strength a try.

    Example:

    Week 1:

    Monday - Workout A
    Wednesday -Workout B
    Friday - Workout A

    Week 2:

    Monday - Workout B
    Wednesday - Workout A
    Friday - Workout B

    Etc.

    For the actual workouts read below:

    Note: This doesn’t include warm-up sets

    **Means this is OPTIONAL**

    Workout A
    3x5 Squat
    3x5 Bench Press
    1x5 Deadlift
    **2x8 Dips (if you cant do these or no assist machine then do Decline Dumbbell Bench Press with your hands Facing each other)

    Workout B
    3x5 Squat
    3x5 Standing military press
    3x5 Pendlay or Bent Rows (or power cleans)
    **2x8 Chin-ups (recommended mainly if doing the cleans)

    Starting strength is a good program... also look up chad waterbury workout lists he has some different ones to choose from that you can tweak to your liking.

    Good choice.
    Wondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.

    Think you're ready for the "next step"? Take this test.
