New to the training board...new routine?

[jenscats5]

Hi all! Pretty new to the site & have been checking out the women's forum mostly. I'm looking for a new weight routine to follow. Plus, whatever I switch to -- how long should I stick to it for -- 6 weeks?

Right now I'm sort of following the 4 week program from a couple of issues ago of Muscle & Fitness. Did the Rock Hard Challenge & am looking for something new cuz I don't know how to set up a routine on my own.

welcome to the board......and what he said.

Thank you for the welcome! Lost my post for a bit.

Can someone explain the 5x5 thing for me? Is any one of the methods on the link better than any other or is each one dependent on what your goals are?

i think some are dependent on your goals. if your goal is strength...imo westside is the best to use and you can cater to your weaknesses better.
