Plan Details
The Starting Strength and then some. It kind of evolved. routine by swktg47 is a 6 day workout plan. It is a beginner level plan to achieve bulking fitness goals.
This started out as just your basic Starting Strength program. Then, as I started to see results, I began modifying it to encourage more development in the areas where I was lacking (back, shoulders, etc.) and to fit the equipment available to me. If you see a day where the last two exercises both hit the same muscle(s), you don't have to do both. Just pick one. Like in Starting Strength, this is supposed to be low rep/heavy weight, so go as heavy as you can WITH GOOD FORM and shoot to increase the amount of weight you lift every week. Where I have some outrageous number of reps, like 100 or 25, I'm really just saying "to failure, at least by the last set." Try to keep the number of reps per set symetrical through all sets while still being absolutely sure to fail by the end of the last set. (Example: 5, 5, 5 or 8, 8, 8, etc.) Alternatively to going up in reps, you could also add weights for things like dips or pull ups, but I prefer body weight only to really burn things out.
