>2-3 hours in the gym
>Taxing as fuck.
>You will stall very fast

Its shit.
Do 3x5 and add in 3 sets of curls and 2 sets of chinups/pullups and you have a 10 times better routine.

idk where to do pullups in my gym if they even have a pullup bar

I have one at home however, it takes me 15 mins to get home, if I got home and then did chinups/pullups will that be as effective or should I just not bother?

should I not do tricep extensions? (my triceps are weak af)

>rack bar as high as it goes on smith machine
>bend knees
>do pullups

every gym has a pullup bar or at least power rack with it. if they don't they suck. tell them to install one.

do squats deadlifts benchpress, The Press, rows, pullups 3x5 and you're golden
yes you can do pullups 15 minutes later or even the next day

>>40214132
incline in picture but you can regulate the angle of it and it goes all the way down to flat bench

>>40214146
oh you probably meant the bench behind him not next to him. that looks like decline

Just do SS goddammit. This is the most popular novice program and memes aside, Rippetoe has a LOT of clients vs Jason Blaha who is a nobody and is a huge retard. Heck there are Starting Strength gyms out there http://startingstrength.com/coaching/gyms

The only reason not to SS but a similar linear progression program is just to be different which is retarded.

>>40214139
do I do those every workout day or should I split it into A and B? for e.g. A I do: Squats, DL, BP and rows, B I do: squats, DL, The Press and pullups?

thanks anon

I'm currently doing jason's 5x5 and enjoying it a lot, but if you only have 1:30 hours i don't reccomend it to you.

If i was you i would look for another program that you can follow 100% instead of changing one to your liking. Try pick related if you want, it will give you most of the gains you would get with blaha's 5x5 but in way less time.

>>40214199
what does "2x5, 1x5+" mean? does that mean on your last set go up to whatever?

>>40214212
sorry I didn't read that bit,
I suffered head trauma recently so disregard my specialness

>>40214004
SS takes 1 hour. SL takes longer, ad ICF 5x5 would take longer and is made by a 150% autistic guy with and IQ level right above down syndrome.

>>40214271
how long does >>40214199 take?

maybe I can sort something out with the owner to let me stay in a bit longer or something

>>40214004
>removing hyperextensions

Here is a real novice program for the average new years resolution type:

AxxBxxx

Workout A:

Lat Pulldown 3x5
Push-ups 3 sets for reps
Conventional Deadlift 2x5

Workout B:

Lat Pulldown 3x5
Overhead Press 3x5
Sumo Deadlift 2x5

Walk at least 20 minutes on rest days in addition to your normal activity.

You will have completed this program when you can do all of the following:

Pull-ups 3x5
Push-ups > 50 reps total
Deadlift 50% bodyweight with good form (both versions)
Overhead press 40% bodyweight with good form
Walking 20 minutes feels like nothing

At this point, you should have the basic work capacity needed to do a classic novice program like Starting Strength without burning out.
