Everyone needs to read Starting Strength. The 3 main lifts: bench press, deadlift and squat are kings in gaining mass and strength. Combine that with pull ups and chin ups, you don't really need to do anything else.

This is my routine as of lately. I weigh around 125-127.

Bench:
135 1x5
150 2x5
145 1x5

Pull Up:
5x5

Chin Up:
5x5

Squat:
135 1x5
185 3x5

Deadlift:
185 1x5
205 3x5

Just wanted to point something out. Doesn't Starting Strength use something other than deadlift? I am starting Practical Programming (Alternative to SS, but created by the same guy) because I know how to deadlift, but I don't know how to do a powerclean.

Actually just looked it up and SS is powerclean, PP is deadlift.

Most people don't do power cleans until they know how to do it correctly because it can get technical. You really don't HAVE to, but those 3 main lifts are what strength competitions are based off of. Squats, deadlift and bench.

Yep that's what I was going off of. I absolutely love how simple it is, and the fact that they have alternatives if you know you don't know the proper way to do a lift. Can't wait to start it next week.

Very good program. I've seen more gains from SS than doing my own thing.
