I'm not psuLemon, but there are some bodyweight programs, as well as a machine-based program and some dumbbell-based programs on page 1. Either Lyle McDonald's program or the Muscle and Strength dumbbell routine would probably be good for you and your goal. I'd probably go with the M&S one.
Actually I was looking at that one...(the link to #2 was broken...)
It's just so disheartening after reaching PRs using 5/3/1!!!
Thanks.
Which link was broken? I just tried the second M&S program and it seems like it's working. I know the first M&S program is pretty good. Alternatively, you can also take most programs and make them dumbbell based.
Both #1 and #2 appear to be the same thing.
Also, the Poliquin (German body comp) link seems to be down. I haven't gone through all of them.0 -

No problem. Lets face it, SL can only take you so far.
List updated and corrected.2 -
I'd add GZCLP to the list. It's a beginner program made by Cody Lefever alias GZCL.0

You should do full body workout and compound excercise s , any program can be good if you follow consistently for 2 or 3 months depending on your goals,, MOST IMPORTANT THING IS PROPER NUTRITION. IF YOU ARE NOT MEETING YOUR PROTEIN CARBS AND FATS NEEDS THEN EVERY PROGRAM IS WASTE9

I have been checking out the listed programs.
Is there anyone that has had success with the beginner weight training program... aworkoutroutine?0 -
The one that works...It depends on how I feel, how the weight feels, whether I'm sore or injuries. I change it almost everytime I lift.3

Doing a push pull routine now gunna see how it works with my schedule. Just started a week ago, really liking it so far. My muscles arent as fatigued as they used to be when I start the session since you basically get 2 days rest in between (push,pull,rest,push,pull,rest) which helps since I have to lift and restrain animals every day at work. Gunna have to see how it works out since the workouts take up a good chunk of time1

There is no ""BEST"" program. And if you stumble across one...it won't work forever. But what DOES work forever, what IS the BEST is .... H A R D W O R K!!!!4

For anyone who has completed Strong Curves, does this program just focus on booty gains? Or does it focus on a full-body program? Currently deciding between this program and New Rules of Lifting for Women. Anyone who has completed both of these, which do you recommend for a beginner who wants to tone full-body?0

Definitely full body, just helps lift that butt at the same time.0 -

I'll second this. I've done 2 rounds and SC is definitely full body.0 -
Did you guys see much changes in your upper body as well? Both asthetically and strength-wise.0

With Strong Curves? Yea definitely saw changes, but I wouldn't call them as apparent and significant as the lower body. Some people find the upper work to be too minimal, others find it just right.0
