Starting Strength. Seriously, it's awesome. Buy the book at least, even if you don't do the program, although you should because its amazing.

If you're hell-bent on doing Crossfit, try crossfit football. http://www.crossfitfootball.com/ The programming is written by a former NFL player. I've heard many, MANY good things about it. You get some barbell strength work most days, and then your typical Crossfit type "metcon" work. It's what I'm going to move to once…

lol! But like I said, no threat of stalling any time soon. I'm doing Starting Strength, and I've only been lifting for a month or 2. I expect to be squatting at or close to 300 by the end of the year.

Depending on your program, you may be able to simply program in a light day. For example, I'm doing Starting Strength.

He knows that the large majority of people that will happen upon his site are male, so he tends to cater the blog/website portion towards males more…

It would depend on the workout, imo. You wouldn't log a CF total day (squat/DL/OH press) as a circuit training day. Just use your best judgement

IMO to bulk up, first focus on getting strong. Do something like SL 5x5 or Westside 4SB until you gain some strength, IE at least 3 or 4 months solid of the program. Also, make sure your diet is in check. Once you can actually lift a fair amount of weight, you can focus on cutting or bulking or whatever it is that you want…
