Thanks for all the responses. My biggest concern was if there was any potential health problems from working out too soon after waking up as opposed to whether I will be at my strongest or show the best gains that early. If anyone else has any other input, I would love to hear more opinions...

I recently heard that when working out in the morning, you should wait at least an hour after waking up as your joints are tighter at this time. Is there any truth to this?

Thank you so much for that response. No, my back doesn't hurt anymore, however I have been doing some dumbell pullovers which causes it a little pain. I might try your routine, or a variation of it. it is only 5-6 exercises per day. Is that really going to be enough? I am really focusing...

I have been working out on an off for over 20 years (I am 38 now). Currently, I am 5'11, 202 lbs, my arms are currently 15', chest 44, waist 37 and my lovely 'gut' is 40.5. Bleccchk! My arms at their biggest were 16.5 three years ago. I injured my back doing squats at that time, about 5...

I am just getting back into working out after a work out related injury I had two years ago. I am not looking to add a lot of size, as I know some of my size will start to come back, and I am naturally muscular looking. I pretty much just want to get rid of this gut that I have and get...

Pretty sure. I don't have any other strenuous activity. My back is a little sore after squats too, so I think the best thing is, as everyone is recommending, is to take a week off and work it back in slowly. Maybe it is time for that anyway. Hate to do it when I am in the grove though!

I have been working out on the Rippetoe Starting Strength program for about two months now and am making some nice gains. However, I am starting to encounter some pretty bad lower back pain and I think I need to eliminate the deadlift from this program. I pay very close attention to my form...

I have been on Rippetoes Starting Strength for about 8 weeks now and have shown some nice gains, but I have no muscular lines anymore, so I figured it was time to start cutting. Not to mention that I think I am hurting my lower back from doing deadlifts, so I don't know if that program is...

I am looking for a stack, but I see that I cannot get Lipoflame, RawMCC and Amplify 2 in Canada, which seems to be the stack that everyone is swearing by. Just wondering what the next best thing would be that I can find here? Currently, I am bulking.

I am curious to know what peoples thoughts were on this. I used it a few years ago, and had good results. My friend is looking at trying it as well. Does it work the same for women as it does guys?

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.

Okay, I will drop the curls. So just continue on doing the same basic exercises for three days a week? Isn't it recommended that I eventually switch to working out four days per week?

It doesn't seem to say in the book. How long until I add other exercises? When do I switch to a 4 day system? It doesn't seem to say anything about this in the book.

I have been doing the starting strength program for two weeks now and have already noticed a difference in my appearance and in my strength. WOW! Anyway, this is what my workout looks like with the assistance exercises I have added: DAY1 squat bench deadlift curl tricep extensions crunches...

Okay, am I really 30%? how accurate are these things? I am 5'11'' 212 lbs (last week I was 207, so I don't know how that happened) The tape says I have a 37" waist, although all my jeans are 34 and fit fine. 44.5 inch chest (mostly muscle), 15.5 inch arms. It doesn't seem like I have any...
