I've heard this referred to a few times here.
But what does it really mean?
Could the hamstring curl be the equivalent exercise for knee health?

Started the beginners program on Monday and must say i have never been so sore in my life, i have now completed 2 sessions (Monday/Wednesday) and will go again tomorow.
Just a quick question, on the days I am not completing the beginners program is it okay to do a shoulder workout or do chinups etc, or should i just be completing the beginners workout and resting all other days.
Cheers

You are a beginner if you cant bench 100kg, squat 140kg and deadlift 180kg. I dont care what your bodyweight is, get bigger, its why your lifting. Bodyweight is not an excuse.
I posted this up on another forum a year ago. The pissweak pencil neck poindexters all pointed out that it was biased against skinny guys. Crap. If your skinny, eat something. At the time Max weighed 60kg and wasnt remotely close to any of those lifts.
One year later he only has the bench to go, he is only a handful of kg's away. That sounds about right. If you train correctly, you should be able to achieve these goals in a year, regardless of bodyweight. Not many on here lighter than Max was, so no complaints.
The record for achieving all these lifts at PTC from complete beginner was Vocy, he did it in under 3 months from never touching a weight, he weighed 100kg. Benny did it in roughly the same, around 10 weeks.
Now, if your a beginner, here is what you need to do, for between 3-12 months.
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
Do this 3 times a week. Progressively add weight.
If youve been training for longer than 12 months and cant make ALL those lifts, you've been kidding yourselves, wasting your time on rubbish.
If somebody gave you a pile of ****, and said it was free, would you keep it, simply cause its free? Of course not, you have no use for it.
Just because something is free doesnt mean its useful.
