I'd rather know what type of progress you experienced with your workouts not just to read the sticky
What's the best beginner workout?
Read the sticky faggot.
Read the sticky faggot.
>doesn't tell us his goals
be specific too
Do SL 6 months, get base stronk, then do something more advanced
And read the sticky
The best one is one that you'll enjoy and stick to. Try out a few different ones and see what you like. In my experience, SS/SL were boring and ineffectual without eating like a pig. I had more success with all pro's beginner routine.
The sticky is gonna tell you some stupid SS low volume meme shit. Don't listen to it. Look at every guy in your gym who looks like like they lift. Are they doing low volume shit? No. Use your head. Do anything with high volume.
What would you consider a strong base? .5/1/2/3? 1/2/3/4?
>.5/1/2/3?
>strong
so 1/2/3/4 then?
After you've achieved 1/2/3/4 is a reasonable time to transition to niche work
is this true

It's written in the sticky as well.
relatively newfag skelly here, 5'10" 145 lbs, my lifts are currently
>Squat- 155
>Deadlift- 145
>OHP- 70
>Bench- 100
>Pendlay- 85
all for 5x5, except squat which is 3x5.
My current program is everyother day-
A Day- Squat, Bench, pendlay, shoulder flies
B Day- Squat, OHP, Diddly
With 5x5 of bicep curls, dips, pullups each day.
I'm trying to add 5lbs to each compound lift a week, and I've been eating as much as possible, clean. How long would you project for me to reach 1/2/3/4? This is my goal at this point, and I'd hope to reach it within another year (been lifting for roughly two months) but idk if that's reasonable. Furthermore, suggestions for my routine?
>1/2/3/4
I've seen this here but I don't know what it is..
it's not in the sticky
can you please enlighten me user?
Dont listen to these fags you start on a bro split right away 4x12 good form. Use all the weight you can manage with good form
Sure. the common format is OHP/Bench/Squat/Deadlift. The numbers refer to the number of plates on one side of the barbell, one plate being 45 lbs. so 1/2/3/4 is 1 plate ohp, 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat, and 4 plate deadlift. A worthy goal, to be sure, and mine ()
1/2/3/4 is strength numbers for OHP/bench/squat/deadlift. The numbers indicate the number of 20 kg or 45 lb plates on each side of the bar. By many it is considered a strength base.
It means 1 plates on shoulder press, 2 plates on bench press, 3 on squat and 4 on deadlift.(although im not sure how much weight a plate actually is) They are just some magic number to aim for when strength training
is it for one rep or five?
I think beginners are recommended to do low volume only because they dont know how to program and tend to do too much volume if not following a routine, I guess.
1 plate ohp 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat, 4 plate deadlift
No, ss has plenty of volume if you actually do the program and not just the main lifts
135,225,315,405
1 rep min is when you can claim it technically, I'd consider it 5, I don't pay attention to my 1 rep maxes, only 5x5
>deadlift 5x5
>pendlay row
do yourself a favor and switch to SS before it's too late
>although im not sure how much weight a plate actually is
lurk before posting please
This is based off stronglifts. Why ss? and projection for 1/2/3/4?
>9 total work sets a day
>plenty of volume
RETARD ALERT
juggernaut beginners /greg nuckols general beginner, or you can start with 531 bbb with higher increments.
The best routine for a beginner is any of the fifty fucking routines everyone tells you to do, doesn't matter which one, and just stick with it.
You're looking to build consistency in going to the gym, the rest comes later.
>only doing three exercises
read the book!
I did read the book. You need to read the book.
>three exercises
>thinks the deadlift has three working sets
>claims to have read the book
