Cool thank you for all your comments. I may look into his routine.

A friend of mine was telling me yesterday about Bill Phillips and his book Body for Life. I went to his website and read his diet plan and his weight training schedule which includes the exercises along with the sets/reps and so i was just curious as to if anyone has followed his exercise and...

I just finished with Bill Starrs's intermediate program, which I did for 12 weeks. About 4 months ago Ii tore my miniscus cartlidge in my right knee so I have not been able to do squats or DL's. So I changed up my routine and need it critiqued from those with more experience than me. Any...

Thanks guys for all the information. Its very helpful.

I would like to start doing hang cleans but im not for sure exactly what muscles they are suppose to be working. Could someone please tell me. Thank you in advance for your help.

Heres a little bit of history i am currently 8 weeks into the Bill Starr's 5x5. I tore my cartlidge in my right knee and so i am not able to do squats or DL's. Are there any other core exercises i could do to help make up for the exercises? Thank you in advance for your help.

Thats what im going to do is just be conservative with it and make sure i do it right. I want to get the most out of this program. Thanks again.

Yeah i dont get very good rest at night. I think i will probably just do week 2 again to make sure i am prepared for week three. Thank you for your help.

I worked out last mon. and wed. but missed friday because i was sick. I am currently doing the 5x5 intermediate (Bill Starrs). Last week was my second week with the program, so my question is should i do my second week over this week? Please advise and thank you in advance for you help.

Ok. I worked out Monday and Wed. of last week but not friday because i was sick which was my week 2. SHould i just repeat week 2 before going to week 3 or what would you guys suggest? Thank you for the help.

Ok cool. I appreciate all your help. Have a good one.

First 3 sets are the same as Monday, the 4th set is repeating the 3rd set again. This is what i found on Bill Starr 5x5 page when talking about Wed. Is this correct? I think i might be confussing you a bit. On wednesday i do Squats, MP and DL's. With squats i just put the numbers in from...

Im using the spread sheet and have been plugging in my 5 rep maxes for Monday and Friday, but i just wasnt for sure what to put in for wed. So do i use my 5 rep max for Monday or Friday to work out on wednesday?

How do i raise the weight on wednesday? I know the article says by percentage, but what percentage?

I think your right. I will just go with the 145 since lighter is better at this point.
