Your point is moot.

Which program are you refering to? Several were listed. Even with Starting Strength, there are several different variations.
Regardless, allow me to rephrase: Full Body Training hits all the MAJOR muscle groups 3 times a week. A beginner will make faster progress due to the more frequent stimulus his muscles recieves.
- repeated from previous post -
Beginers don’t need very many sets to create a growth stimulus, so why not combine everything into one workout that can be performed frequently? Personally I’d rather stimulate my muscles as often as possible given my ability to recover.

Personally, I’d rather use weight heavy enough for me to need more than 36-48 hours to hit that movement again. There is no way in hell I could squat 3 times a week and deadlift without drastically reducing the weights I use in order to get out of bed in the morning.

You are not a beginner (I’m assuming anyway). Beginners don’t need to do that much work in order to provide the necessary stimulus for growth.

Nice try slappy. I’m not an idiot, while you may be, I am not. Going forward actually read my post before responding, don’t just pick half statements and string them together.
But one more time for shits and giggles:
Anyone drinking a gallon of fucking milk a day, doing the big dawg lifts consistently, with progressively heavier weight will grow. This is not a novel concept, this is not rocket science. Starting strength is such a program.
BUT (please actually pay attention this time…)
For someone who wants to look like a bodybuilder, ie: proportional development, Starting Strength is a bad choice as a first routine. It ignores far too many body parts and has people doing complex, skilled movements, while restricting simple, necessary ones.
If you are training for Football(handegg), soccer, karate, hockey, fucking badminton, then fine do whatever the fuck you want. But if you are training to look like a bodybuilder, there are better approaches.[/quote]
I’ll stand by my original statement:
Wait a minute, you say “ANYONE on earth will grow from that…” and “is not a good starting program…”. These statements seem to be somewhat contradictory in nature. Would you rather a beginner use a program that only a few people manage to have success with?
I’ve yet to see a scrawny body builder (at least a successful one anyway). Its pretty stupid to worry about proportions when you are small all over. But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe the olympia goes to the 165# guy with great proportions.
