Strength Training


The Last one and half month I am following a routine based on the methodology of Starting Strength of Mark Rippetoe.
My target is to escalate my strength and increase the weights on the basic exercises.
More informations on this type of training you can find on the books, Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training by Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore, Practical Programming for Strength Training by Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore.

The Routine.
Routine A
Squat
Bench Press
Deadlift

Routine B
Squat
Press
Bent-over Rows

The program goes like this:
Day 1: Routine A
Day 2: Rest
Day 3: Routine B
Day 4: Rest
Day 5: Routine A
Day 6 & 7: Rest
Day 8: Routine B
Day 9: Rest
Day 10: Routine A
Day 11: Rest
Day 12: Routine B
Day 13 & 14: Rest
Back again to the Day 1.

The rest time between sets it will be three to four minutes for the basic exercises and one to one and half for the others.
