Default Re: Name the top 3 lifting programs you have used

1. Starting Strength

perfect for a lifting noob. made huge gains on it.

2. Madcow 5x5 http://www.geocities.com/elitemadcow...Linear_5x5.htm

Similar to Starting Strength but slower progress and periodization for when you can't increase the weight every workout.

3. Hypertrophy Whatever Training http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...rophy+whatever

A 4 day upper/lower split. More volume and different exercises than I was used to, so it really started bringing out different parts of my physique. My chest finally started to develop on this program. I switched BB Bench for DB Bench on the first upper day and did Incline DB and BB Bench on the second upper day. A good change of pace after doing the above two programs.

those are actually the only programs I've ever used but I liked them all and made big gains.
