Hey /fit,/ I'm going to start college in September and I've been doing Stronglifts 5x5 for 3 months. I'm going to be in the ROTC program at my college and that means I'll have to do a drill 3 mornings each week, including calisthenics and running.
Rippetoe and others tell beginning lifters to avoid extra exercises and running, in order to prevent training injuries and gain mass quicker. Is there a good workout program for somebody who is a beginner but also doing an hour of calisthenics and running M/W/F? If not, how would I modify Stronglifts to make it fit?
you need to check the entire volume of your workouts to be certain you can train your major muscle groups. does ROTC pay off as far as your gains? i would skip personal gains if ROTC is offered by my university

you're beautiful, why would you start stronglifts?

I doubt ROTC would provide enough gains. It's an hour of mixed cardio and full body work, so I doubt it would be the same as working out in a gym.
Most people with whom I've spoken who are involved in ROTC say that they both do the ROTC PT and lift in the afternoon- but the lifting these people do is a lot of curls, machine work and the like with little real progression.

any excess running is not treating your body appropriately. my friend was a marine and broke his leg and his mother was crying for her son to come home. he told me he wishes he never dropped out
>>42109031
that's op, why else would they post the pic?

Okay, I don't do "excess running" though. Right now my workouts are all large-compound weightlifting. If you're telling me to avoid running, I already do. What's your meaning?
OP has the largest hands I've ever seen on a human.

What should I do with my routine though? There doesn't seem to be much advice on this in the sticky.
