I'm 63 and have been consistently training 4 days a week since sept after recovering from the dreaded C. The big 4 following 5-3-1 I've added weight to the bar EVERY month. very limited accessory work. CONSISTENCY is the key,, 100 %
I've been nearly perfectly consistent for a little over 7 months. The "being consistent" part has been the most important thing to me, and it has really paid off well. I made it my #1 priority to always make a workout unless something physically is keeping me from working out. No matter if I didn't sleep well, if its too late, if I feel sick, if I didn't eat right, I always force myself to work out and am ALWAYS happy that I do at the end of the workout. I'm really happy with hitting my short term goals, and am coming up with new goals to hit in the coming months/ years. I've incorporated chin ups as I've felt better and better, and am looking to add other accessories in the future as I am learning more about my body. Oh, and I work full time and have 2 young kids. Anything is possible, you just have to want it bad enough! Consistency should be the #1 priority.
Mondi : Bench Tuesdi:biceps Wendsdi:pecs Thursdi:arms Frydi:flys and curls Cornerstone of my training! So about those accessories, maybe once or twice a week, like 1 squat day and 1 deadlift day?
No way, a Starting Strength coach that’s cool with me doing accessory work? The fuck’s going on 😂 just kidding. Thanks Grant, keep up the great work 💪🏻
Uh....there is a reason the accessories are detailed in the book. I do think too early accessories are a waste of time though, sort of majoring in the minors. Once a base is built I think they are fine to do.
Have you ever trained someone who has arms that won't lock out at the same length? I have a problem where my left arm locks out an inch higher them my right arm.
@@chilldoc9638 You do realize chins hit those lats. Deadlifts and Below parallel squats are pretty hamstring intense. Side delts I think you can have a point to a degree...especially since he does not even have press in the list there.
I see guys in the gym working arms all the time. Their arms stay small. I think there is more to it (though I think some curls and tricep extensions are fine to do) than just working arms.
@@oggsmash9989well that can be with many factors, they might not be eating enough, sleeping enough, training hard enough, just thinking bench press and pull-ups will get you big arms is a mistake

This has gone a totally different direction. Well done. 100% agree

Good job!
Consistently being active, training and simplicity
I agree with everything you have said but incline bench is a superior movement pattern over flat and adds to your overhead press.

Great video 🇺🇸🫡
Thanks 😊
why dont you make plates in colors?
That’d be like an accessory lift.
Hilarious video and very true!
glad you enjoyed!

Focus on the basics, get in the gym.
Amen Brother
Do y'all prepare gym routines for people? Or just online training?
If these accessories movements work for U personally and U see continuous results then stick with them.
Did he say face pull aparts?
Sqaut, deadlift, bench press, dips and Chins. That's it
No overhead press?
No The Press?
Rip side delts, rip hamstrings, rip lats, so many weak points
No Cleans? You disgust me.

How long do you normally keep someone on the novice program?
Depends how consistent they are. But the avg person can get a solid 3 mos
Came for the Drink Spotter, stayed to put one in the ‘ol vice
That sounds like a safe plan
Wait ,what? 5k?
Cool vid. I am that person
know thyself and seek self improvement ¨̮

If you don't do arms you will not grow arms . You need to work arms

Underhand pullups build as much on biceps as curls.
@@Makindealz Yup.. gymnasts do every variation of pullups and static supenated grip holds.. Gymnasts have massive biceps without doing a damn curl
I like it.
Lol says the dude with small arms
This is stupid. If it is a good exercise why not do it.
Not listening to you
Chicks like biceps. Do all the compounds and some curls.
Shoulders absolutely blow biceps off the water, do your lateral raises
@@chilldoc9638😂
pretty much it
@@chilldoc9638lateral rises 😂
Do heavy standing press with a barbell and dips instead
