I've been on a basic compound workout for about a month now and I just wanted to know what everyone else thinks of it? I've gathered a whole lot of info from all of the starting strength and beginner threads here and I set out a workout planner from that which combines the basic compound lifts as well as some others that were mentioned.
I started off with this as my basic lifts -
Squat 3 x 10
Bench press 3 x 8
Bent row 3 x 8
Military press 3 x 8
SLDL 3 x 8
BB curl 3 x 8
I liked the idea of rippetoes A and B workouts so I added some exercises and made it into 2 seperate workouts which ended up looking like this
A-
Squat 3x10
Bench 3x10
Bent rows 3x10
Deadlift 3x10
Dips 3x5
Bb Curl 3x10
B-
Squat 3x10
Military 3x10
Incline 3x10
Chins (Close and wide grip) 3x5
Close grip bench 3x10
SLDL 3x10
I've been on this for around a month and i'm making steady progress. I was thinking of sticking to a proper set out plan or changing it a little. I was wondering if this is too much or the wrong thing to be doing? Just looking for opinions guys. Thanks. Sam.
