Just a trainer playing around with routines for my beginners to use since they always have complaints about the big three routines. What do you think of this for a general bare bones beginner routine? Looking at all the usual recommend routines (SS, SL, GSLP), they seem to all have these in common, they just have small things separating each other (SS has power cleans instead of rows, SL has 5x5, GSLP has AMRAP), which are coincidentally the things my trainees tend to complain about the most. This about as basic barbell as I can get it while still getting all the major compound muscle groups for beginners.

Increase weights 5lbs per workout.
If you fail to do all 5 reps on an exercise, repeat that weight next time. If you fail that exercise three workouts in a row, deload by 10% next time.
Do warm-up sets before your main sets in 40-50lb increments until you reach your working weight.

Hmm fair. Suppose that would just be normal chin-ups or negatives depending on the person, but you get the idea right?

Why the fuck burgers have freezer on top instead of bot like rest of world has?

i'm a beginner with 181lbs DL, and I think 1x5 is good.
