Hi,I want to start training at the gym, and do more weight training that I did last time I went there, and with free weights (for the most part).My problem is that I've tried to find a workout plan, but I get confused at all the different ones that are out there, and when they're advocating not-eating-CNS-style I get worried it won't work if I'm doing CNS. I mean, I'm not gonna 'make sure to eat every 2-3 hours!' and eat an unlimited amount of vegetables..Could someone point me to a good workout schedule that would work for a beginner like myself who's doing CNS?Or come with some ideas as to what I should be doing?I would really appreciate it. 🙂Thanks in advance!
Age? Sex? Is your goal just to lose some weight?

I'm 23 and a girl. And I do want to lose a fair amount of weight, but I want those nice sculpted muscles. 🙂
if you are comfortable with doing squats, deadlifts, bench, and OH press. I suggest the 5-3-1 Boring but Big routine.. i can send you workout spreadsheet pdf for it if you are interestedthinking it over Starting Strength is probably your best bet:)

It's disrespectful to give away a book that someone sells. That being said, I don't think 5/3/1 is great for a rank beginner. I'd recommend looking into Bret contreras's work. He does a lot with females who are concerned about their physique.

giving away what? you can get spreadsheets people made for free all over the web(guess i wasn't clear on that didn't mean PDF of the book just workout spreadsheet).. also as long as they can get someone to teach them proper form of the big 4 lifts 5-3-1 is about as basic as it gets and great imho for beginners looking to get into lifting.. but thinking about it Starting Strength is a better bet
I am an advocate for Strong Lifts 5×5, Starting Strength, and 5/3/1 (though the latter would by my last recommendation to a true newbie to weight lifting). Learning the basics of compound movements like squats and deadlifts is a must for most of these programs as is not being afraid to use barbells and moving away from using machines. If this is something you're interested in I can post some links for you.

+1 for Starting Strength. Learn the lifts, perfect the technique, start light, progress regularly, and get strong!

that's a great one i'd also highly recommend getting the newest book http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-3rd-Mark-Rippetoe/dp/0982522738
Awesome thread – question from another noob: I downloaded the Shockwave PDF and bought the app. I've never done classic strength training. Should I put Shockwave on the shelf for a little while and pick up Starting Strength to learn the basics first? Is SW too advanced for someone who's looking to begin strength training?

for someone that has never done at least the big 3 before i'd go for Starting Strength first....

Thanks for the direction. Searching amazon now 🙂
I've taken a sneak-peak at the starting strength edition, and it looks like something I could really use, with a lot of nice explanations, so thanks a lot guys. I'll definitely give that a go! 🙂
Shockwave is a variation on a theme. I can't speak to the app itself, but 1.4 is built off the big three (or four) classic movements. At the very least Starting Strength will give you a comprehensive guide to those lifts.As to how you spend your money...I think that building a strength base is essential to seeing progress with these - really all - programs. You could always give Starting Strength a try and graduate to Shockwave or another program. Both SS and SL5x5 have a lot of information available online as well as the proper ways to DO the lifts they are built on.Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
