New Rules Of Lifting For Men

GroupXZ

So I bought the book and it is just awesome! I was wondering should I wait to get to the workouts and read the whole book or start the workout and read the book as I go?

I'd read enough to get started this week.
Then continue reading.

I know when I got the 5/3/1 book, I sat down and had it read within a day or two.

So do you find exercises that revolve around the ones the book think you should do, or does the book provide the exercises?

The book provides the exercises and the daily routines to follow.

So I am confused. I am looking at the fat-loss program and it says to do the two works out six times for four weeks. How would you do that if you only work out lets say for three days a week. Also, when it says to alternate sets, does it mean to do the squats one set then do the cable seated row and just go back and forth?

Someone who has read the "for Men" version should verify this, but...

I have the one "for Women" and it looks like the workout routine parts are similar enough for me to answer this. Two workouts x 6 times translates to 12 workout days. That means if you lift three days per week, you'll get through it in four weeks.

And alternating sets mean exactly that. (Isn't there a section in the book that explains that?)

whats the actual program. tried to read what you posted but its giving me a mind f**k for some reason..

2 workouts? 6 times? 4 weeks? you workout 3 a week?

and i doubt it says to do supersets with squats into cable seated row.. that would be kinda strange.. and you'll probably get your squat rack jacked doing that... yet i've never seen someone run that program so not sure really.. just know.. if i saw some kid go from squat to cable rows.. i would take the rack thinking he was done..

For OP:

The book is a pretty easy ready. I would read as much as you can up to the exercises. It can't hurt. But, if you must jump into deadlifts and squats with bad form you will eventually hurt yourself. I have done Break In, Fat Loss 1, 2, and 3. I think I would have quit due to lack of success if I hadn't read the book.

Week 1: Workout A, workout B, workout A.

Week 2: Workout B, workout A, workout B.

Repeat two more weeks. That's 12 total, six of each.

And yes, for the supersets you do a set of both exercises back to back.

I have done Break In, Fat Loss 1, 2, 3. I have never gotten my squat rack jacked, not even doing giant super sets.

I set up all of the equipment I need/can by the rack. Then I leave my log notebook on one side of the rack. And my disgusting sweat soaked towel on the other side. Its pretty obvious that I am still using it.

Of course most everyone sees that I am working and as soon as I finish I get out of the way.
