Is that your final answer? Because your wrong. Not exactly wrong, but may confuse a beginner weightlifter. When a beginner you will need longer rest than an experienced weightlifter, due to your muscles are not used to working out. And no trying to force them to workout, kinda like trying to push your speed over the it's limits, WILL NOT WORK. Yes you can gain 5-10 pounds, depending on what lift, your diet and program. Like I said, Rippetoes is perfect for a beginner. I suggest that above any workout if your a beginner. Back to the adding weight though, Squats and Deadlift, it is very likely to add 10 lbs per week. Bench press is more likely to gain 5 lbs a week. So eat right and train heavy. Good luck.
when i first started lifting i gain 15 pds a week on squat and 5 pds a week on bench and dead i gained around 10 but thats because you only do it 1x a week. and ur a moron newbs make quicker gains then experienced lifters and they need more rest but 48 hrs is more tahn enuff
I'm a moron? You don't know half the stuff I know about weightlifting. 48 hours for a new weightlifter is actually not enough. They're muscles need to get used to the forces being put upon them. After about 6 months of training than they can workout more days and more intensely. Don't question my knowledge about weightlifting. Ever. How much do you bench, deadlift and squat? I don't appreciate cocky people like you with wrong information.
here's the thing though, in my opinion it is best to add to your frame first because you make your easiest size gains initially obviously. Think about it , if you put on a few pounds then you are familiar with form, and you can gain more strength than when you didn't gain the few pounds. not only that but you help stay away from injury as you become familiar with the motions. If you walk straight into stregth training you will get hurt without experience or familiarity. Thye lifts i mention are awesome for not limiting your speed or flexibility. And you cannot gain size without strength as well, hence bigger stronger faster, hence geti it right
Oh yeah, of course. Always get your form perfect before starting. Thats what your talking about right?
I was suggesting mark rippetoe in the first place you ****ing ******. Go to the first five posts I remember posting rippetoes starting strength.
wel mark rippetoe recomend squatting 3x a week and also says in his book you should add 5pds each time you squat.
Do you have the book? He said it's possible. He said to focus on form and then worry about weight. He said ONLY GO UP IF YOU FEEL YOU CAN, WHICH MOST OF HIS CLIENTS WENT UP 5 LBS. EVERY WORKOUT. Don't argue with me about weightlifting. You won't win. You may win with boxing, but not weightlifting. And you seem to be avoiding my question. A more knowledgable weightlifter is usually a stronger one. What are your numbers on bench press, squat and deadlift and how old are you?
i have his book starting strenght and the other one. i am 15. 170 6% bf bench=250x5 squat= 350x5 deadlift 400x5 i messed up the weights so i editied it
o yah and obviously you must learn form first. but once you learn it and start lifting you should add that much
Those would be nice numbers if they were true. At 170 pounds 6% bf 15 yrs old benching about 290 for 1,squatting about 420 for 1, and deadlifting about 465 for 1. That's record placing, and seeing as you also box, which means you do alot of cardio, and also means you won't go up very easy. I'm currently 14 yrs old, 155 lbs at about 12.5%bf benching 175 for 1, squatting 235 and deadlifting 300.
lol thats because you didnt play football for 4 years. i jsut started boxing this year. i used to be around 190 and have been lifting for like 3 -4 years.
