Default Re: Starting Rippetoe Today: A Few Questions Before I Start

1. I don't know. I doubt it is worth what it would take to turn around something that you spent several of your formative years training to-- it's not going away. And it doesn't have to be a "problem". I'd avoid things that reinforce it and look for tiny things to add some volume to your offhand-- carrying stuff, changing plates, etc. If you were using dumbbells, you'd want to do your off hand first, etc, but there's not of that on the program you are talking about.

2. Got nothing.

3. I've heard and read that. Personally, I keep cardio types of training for after any lifting, but because it hurts my lifts. I think you should do the most important/critical thing first-- and for most of us that would be strength. For one thing-- you can train your heart everyday, so getting the most of your lifts is important-- I realize none of this is addressing the fat-burning aspect-- no clue.
