There is a lot of 'info' behind that routine and a lot of trainees have followed the programme with great success. As is clear from my post and the subject of the thread it's a beginner routine designed to build a foundation for either bodybuilding or strength training. When the trainee grows...

Do this. It may sound simple but it is the optimal for any healthy beginner. Train three times a week. Military press 3x8 Squats 3x12 Deadlift 3x8 Bench press 2x8 Chins 3x(as many as you can do) Abs Eat a lot, drink a lot of milk and always sleep at least seven hours every night. Always strive...

You have to post a pic, man!

Put 90% of your effort in compound exercises, preferably deadlifts, squats and overhead presses.

Any experience with Starrs' squat program of mon 3x10, wed 3x3 and fri 3x5? I haven't read the book myself but have seen the program described.

Very nice. I especially enjoyed seeing those romanian deadlifts. The question about the difference between SLDL and romanian deadlifts pops up every now and then on most boards and that video clearly shows what differs. You're strong dude.

About the 'ask the champ' Q&A's... I think they often 'combine' common questions into one mail - that is, the exact words in a mail is not authentic but they represent common questions asked in the mails they receive. In many cases (I know that's common in a lot of magazines, outside the BB...

Doing barbell bent over rows after deadlifting is waiting for a catastrophy to happen, IMHO. I think it's quite tough having both in the same workout, but if you insist, do the bent over rows before the deads, so your lower back can support you. I'd say: Deadlifts Chins Dumbbell rows

Good post. Although, I can't understand how these obvious alter egos are still present after a mod has noticed them. Don't you have the right to ban members?

Depends on your body type. A full range is of course the best if your physique allows you to do it in a safe manner. In the bench, if you're very thin and have long arms, the bottom position may get awkward and put your shoulders in a dangerous position. Otherwise, go for the full range motion.

I haven't read Yates' book so I can't answer that but honestly it doesn't matter much. The squat is without doubt the superior leg exercise and in my opinion squat/leg curl/leg press will get the same results as squat/leg curl/leg extension. Both quads and hamstrings get worked regardless. When...

I think this looks good. Good thinking not tinkering with it - you can't make everyone happy. It's not a conicidence it looks just as it does. Just take it easy with the 'to failure' stuff as it often does more to increase recovery time than increase growth. If you go to 'real failure' every set...

Go for an old school program and push your squats, deads and overhead presses. Keep the number of exercises to a minimum. Eat a lot, get stronger and discover that muscle growth will follow suit.

I couldn't feel any differences in strength but I did gain several pounds of water and kept weight after having quit the creatine.

This is just my opinion, but if you're not going to compete or anything, don't cut. You look great and healthy and I doubt you'd feel better if you lost a few pounds of fat.
