Hey all,
been around for a while and have done lots of research on different training routines but would like some advice from the long time guys and girls from here.
So a little on me and what i want;
27 Year old male
167cm
73kg
I also have cystic fibrosis which i have mentioned before.
So a week a go i started doing Ripptoes Starting Strength and i am loving it. So far in a week my lifts are;
Squats - 55kg
Bench - 47.5kg
Deads - 45kg
Military Press - 40kg
Rows - 40kg
I am also doing two days of Cardio due to the CF. My lung fucntion sits at 63% so cardio is a great way to keep healthy and try and raise that as much as possible.
I know that my strength training will result in slower gain but i feel that the carido is a must.
Sooo this comes to my question for you. Is ripptoes plan appropriate for what i am doing or is there a better routine out there that i can do (like the beginner strength stated by PTC but instead of 3x8 can i stick to the 3x5? Along with pull ups). Im really enjoying lifting the weights. So please any advice is good advice.x
Current routine;
Monday - Strength
Tuesday - Run
Wednesday - Strength
Thursday - Run
Friday - Strength
Saturday - rest
Sunday - rest
