As someone who has done both routines I would still recommend actually doing the stronglifts program first. Several reasons 1. they are bascially identical except one starts with a warm up and has you do 3x5 and the other the warm up and 5x5. 2. The major difference between them though is strong lifts switches out the beginner starting strength's power clean with a barbell row. The power clean is really hard to get right without coaching. Everything else you can watch youtube videos for and do fairly well. Sources: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:The_Program http://stronglifts.com/5x5/ 3. Stronglifts has a great app for iOS and Android that makes it dead simple to track your progress. I'm still looking for one as good and focused for starting strength. By all means once you get to a decent weight on all the lifts reassess you routine but I think stronglifts is a better starting point for absolute beginners. |
