Weight training out of season

That seems simple and effective mate.
As a boxer I would add in some shoulder rehab work to keep them healthy.
Look up the Diesel Crew Shoulder Rehab protocol on google.
And for that plan, don't do 3 consecutive days, alternate the workouts over something like a mwf split. you can of course do them consecutive days, but if you are not that pressed for time, and a beginner so you will get a bit sore at the start, give yourself that extra day recovery.

 

I thought that the SS program was already a M/W/F split.

 

It is. This is an excellent program by one of the best strength trainers in the business.

 

he isn't, vonPLC, credit where credit is due only.
his starting strength book and routine is good for beginners no doubt.

 

Wow, this surprises me. I have never heard respected strength and conditioning athletes/trainers say anything but positive about him. He has produced some pretty good strength athletes in the past. One of the biggest things I have heard and experienced in reading his articles and books is his common sense approach to strength training and programming.

 

He's just a ***** that's been spouting the same basic **** for years.

 

Oh, okay, I don't keep quite as astute as I used to with the "strength community" but felt that he was pretty sharp and on point. Why do you say he is a ***** out of curiosity and what is the "basic" stuff over years. Lastly, why could he not progress say an advanced athlete on his training philosophies? Is it his programming/periodization/etc? As always Virus, just wanting to know your reasons why, not trying to start anything.

 

As I said, fine for beginners, even intermediates. But to call him a great strength trainer and coaching mind from the things I've seen him write and say, I can't agree at all.
To each their own though, if you work with his program (based around compound lifts with good technique, ascending weight and eating plenty!!! wowzers!) you will make gains!

 

Just his general attitude of do it my way or you're a "****ing *****" which he constantly repeats. If you want to look good (building muscle slowly while maitaining a low bodyfat) you're a ***** apparently. His recommendations for diet is to eat everything and end up over 20% bodyfat, at least then you'll be big and strong, you'll just look like ****!!!

The guys a moron.

 

don't worry about doing all of them in a week, that's for if you have an injury.
Take 1 of the circuits, do it as many sets/reps as they say, and then later in the week or next week do another, so in total 1-2 of their "days" a week, as its prehab, not rehab, so can be less aggressive.

No, for strength training, you train for strength. In conditioning, you train for endurance and conditioning, don't use one for the other. Military press will give you strong supporting shoulders to weather all the punches you throw, not sure about increasing power but a stronger body is a stronger body. For that routine, I would probably work in the 70-85% range, less earlier on in your training and building up towards 3x5 with the 85%, which would probably set you in good stead for a couple of new personal bests.

 

You only need to check your 1RM to work out your weight percentages, other than that it doesn't matter, unless you're a powerlifter.

Start with a weight that feels too light and add the smallest possible weight each session until you can't add weight anymore.
