**Mark Rippetoe’s Infamous Routine** Weight training legend Mark Rippetoe's book "Starting Strength" outlines this routine. I have not (yet) read it, unfortunately. My reverence for it comes through aggregation of citing through multiple sources & media. # Phase 1 - Beginners 3x a week. ABA → BAB. ## Day A 1. [[Bench Press]] 3x5 2. [[Squat]] 3x5 3. [[Deadlift]] 1x5 ## Day B 1. [[Bench Press]] 3x5 2. [[Overhead Press]] 3x5 3. [[Deadlift]] 1x5 Do this literally as you're **starting** to develop your strength. It's a **beginner's** routine. # Phase 2 - Novice Same as Beginners routine, except Day B will end with [[Power Clean]] 5x3 instead of Deadlifts 1x5. # Phase 3 - "Advanced Novice" Same as Beginners routine, except Day A will end with either Deadlift or Power Clean (alternate between "Day A" workouts). And Day B will end with [[Chin Ups|Chin-ups]]. **** ## Source - [Starting Strength's official website](https://startingstrength.com/get-started/programs) ## Related - [[Big 6 Exercises]] - [[Workout - Stronglifts 5x5]]
