PLEASE HELP GUIDE MY PROGRAM:-
Pre-info about me:
I am 6ft, 155 pounds, me atm:
Desired results are of course gain weight/muscle/develop the chest especially.
For a few weeks I've been working under the (perhaps suboptimal) advice in the stickies and beginners threads of other forums;
3x/week
been doing 8 reps of everything.
So of the exercises I do (mostly sticking to core, I do little else other than- squats, deads, bench, pull-overs, bicep curls, bent-over rows). I usually work up to max (at 8 rep) in
about 6 sets.
e.g. a typical squat would be, say
8x20kg
8x40kg
8x50kg
8x55kg
8x60kg
8x65kg
I mention the last few weeks' activities as I'm hoping you guys can guide me as to which of the routines on
http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wi...inner_Programs is for me (as each has the word 'Basic', 'Starting', 'Novice' &/or 'Beginner' in the title!)
Also two brief questions:
1. If I GOMAD, am I supposed to read between the lines and chug half a gallon of whole milk/day as I'm used to having next to no milk at the moment?
2. Is the rule of thumb "1.5g protein/lb body mass/day" exactly what I should be aiming for?
Thanks
