The Starting Strength Program - Phase 1 The Starting Strength Novice Programme has two workout days: A and B. Each session works the entire body. As the trainee progresses, Days A and B are slightly modified. This accounts for the adaptations in the lifter's body. Phase 1 Notes In this initial phase, workouts A and B are the same, except that the press and bench press alternate. So if you began the programme on Monday and pressed, you’ll bench press Wednesday and press again Friday. The second week, you’ll bench press Monday and Friday and press on Wednesday. At the end of this phase, if you’re a healthy male aged 18-35, your squat should be 20-30 kg higher than it started. Your deadlift should be 25-35 kg higher. Your press and bench press should each be 7.5-10 kg higher. Most women and men over 35 will start with smaller jumps. This means a 5 kg jump in the squat, two or three 5 kg jumps in the deadlift, and 2.5 kg jumps in the other exercises. Then, they will proceed to 1:25 kg or smaller increases in some movements sooner. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Use common sense. Pay attention to how your body responds to the increased weight. These are your best guides. SSLP Phase 1 - Day A CORE WORKOUT A1. Squat 5 reps x 3 sets REST 3, 5, 7 to 10 minutes and stretch in between where necessary. B1. Bench Press 5 reps x 3 sets + 1-2 sets Weighted Chins as a super set or on own (optional) C1. Deadlift 5 reps x 1 set   SSLP Phase 1 - Day B CORE WORKOUT A1. Squat 5 reps x 3 sets REST 3, 5, 7 to 10 minutes and stretch in between where necessary. B1. Press 5 reps x 3 sets C1. Deadlift 5 reps x 1 set Rest Times 1 min 30 if you easily completed five reps on your last set 3 min if you struggled to get five reps on your last set 5 min if you failed to get five reps on your last set

The Starting Strength Program - Phase 2 In Phase 2 of the Starting Strength Novice Program, the power clean is introduced to replace the deadlift on Day B. This allows continued strength gains in the deadlift without the excessive fatigue of high-frequency deadlifting. Deadlifts remain on Day A. Workout A: Squat: 3 sets of 5 reps Bench Press: 3 sets of 5 reps (+ optional 1-2 sets Weighted Chins) Deadlift: 1 set of 5 reps Optional: Weighted Chins: 2 sets of 5 reps Workout B: Squat: 3 sets of 5 reps Press: 3 sets of 5 reps Power Clean: 5 sets of 3 reps Optional: Weighted Dips: 2 sets of 5 reps Progression: The power clean adds explosive power, helping to drive up deadlift performance without excessive recovery demands. Phase 2's duration can vary based on individual recovery and progress, lasting several weeks to months. Recovery: Incorporate walking, stretching to improve ROM, and recovery techniques like contrast baths, sauna, or cold showers. Rest Periods: Same as Phase 1 (1:30, 3, or 5 minutes based on difficulty).

In Phase 3 of the Starting Strength Novice Program, chin-ups are added after power cleans to increase upper body volume. Once you can complete 3 sets of 10 chin-ups, start adding weight (2.5 kg at a time) and aim for 5-7 reps before increasing the load. Workout A: Squat: 3 sets of 5 reps Press: 3 sets of 5 reps Deadlift: 1 set of 5 reps Pendlay Rows: 3 sets of 5 reps Optional: Bicep Curls Workout B: Squat: 3 sets of 5 reps Bench Press: 3 sets of 5 reps Power Clean: 5 sets of 3 reps Chin-up: 3 sets of 10 reps (weighted once 10 reps are achieved) Progression: Continue Phase 3 for several weeks or months until recovery becomes challenging, signaling the transition to Phase 4. Recovery: Incorporate proper recovery techniques like stretching, walking, and contrast baths as your volume and intensity increase.

Progression: Start light—use 50% of your 5 rep max if familiar with the exercises. Gradually increase weight to allow your body to adapt to the frequency of squatting, pressing, and pulling. Adjust and track your progress using spreadsheets or tracking tools. Rest: Allow one day between workouts for recovery and muscle growth, crucial for lifting heavier next session.

The Aussie Bod is a 28-day training program designed to build a strong, lean upper body using just two key exercises: Australian Pull-Ups and Push-Ups. The program follows German Volume Training (GVT) principles and tempo training to increase strength and muscle mass without requiring gym access. Key Exercises: Australian Pull-Ups (Inverted Rows) & Push-Ups Training Method: Superset Training Method for targeting opposing muscle groups.

Program Structure: Exercises: Australian Pull-Ups (Inverted Rows) & Push-Ups. Tempo Training: Focus on controlling the speed of each movement to enhance muscle development. Superset Training Method: Exercises are performed in pairs (agonist/antagonist muscles) with minimal rest between sets to maximize efficiency and results. Split Routine: Chest and back workouts three days a week with specific recovery and mobility focus on other days. Training Phases: Phase 1 (Week 1 & 2) & Phase 2 (Week 3 & 4). Cardio and Mobility: Recovery Focus: Include recovery sessions with mobility work targeting key areas, such as the couch stretch and lacrosse ball smash, to prevent injury and promote flexibility. Cardio: Optional HIIT sessions can be added on rest days to boost cardiovascular health and fat loss. Progression and Variations: Once you can perform 3x10 pull-ups, start adding weight (2.5kg increments) to keep progressing. Modify grip variations to increase difficulty as you advance (overhand, neutral, underhand grips). Why It Works: This program emphasizes tempo training and progressive overload, which are key for increasing muscle size and strength. By focusing on antagonistic muscle groups (pull and push), you achieve balanced muscle growth and greater endurance.

This 21-day challenge is designed to build foundational fitness, incorporating daily 3 x 10-minute walks, breathing routines, mindset training, and mobility exercises to loosen joints.
