I just picked it up because of this forum. I haven't really dug into it that much, but it goes into great detail on the exercises with tons of pictures.

this thread had this quote in the OP...

"Here is a routine from Mark Rippetoe’s book called “Starting Strength”. You can buy the book at www.startingstrength.com. It includes endless useful info that all beginners should learn. But as for the program he suggests, his clients that he gives it to on AVERAGE gain 30-40 pounds in about 6 months or so which is amazing gains."

That part made me look twice as I'm still 215lbs with a goal of 160-170. I'm assuming he's referring to people who are eating tons in order to get big?

Correct me if my logic is off: People who have a big caloric surplus get huge, but I could technically maintain a 500 caloric deficit and continue to lose weight/body fat while helping to maintain lbm and make strength gains at the same time. Am I right?

[anklebreaker]

Yes, technically.

Practically though, the "maintain lbm" is difficult.

Yeah, I almost didn't even put that in. I should have put, "slow down lbm loss".

Barbell basics is not out yet, though I heard on BB.com it was just completed.

Its a lie.


Don't listen to some of the hyperbole [censored] many authors put out. CP said he put 30+ lbs in 4 months on a national level bodybuilder. I'd bet souls he's a liar.

I believe us newbies can lose weight and gain STRENGTH at the same time.

If you're carrying some fat you can *definitely* lose fat and gain muscle. You might not actually lose any weight doing that, though.

From my own history I really feel like the #1 thing is to get strong, and then losing weight once you're strong is so much easier.

A day in a few hours I'm trying to get psyched up. This is my new inspiration for the front squat :
