The Starting Strength Method - Why This Method Delivers Superior Results
The Starting Strength Method is currently the most effective way to get strong quickly and safely. In the first month, a typical trainee should add at least 60lb to their squat and deadlift, and 30lb to their bench and press. The method is usually thought of as just the programming: the prescribed sets, reps, weights, and exercises, but it's more than that. The method is two parts: the programming and the technique of the exercises. These two parts are what makes the method so effective and safe.
Strength Training VS. Cardio
Strength is the place to put your time, money, and energy, even if cardio is fun and readily accessible. There is a large misunderstanding on how the human body adapts to physical activity. The questions "should I do cardio for weight loss?", "if I do strength training, don't I have to do cardio too?", "won't having bigger muscles hurt my cardio?" come up a lot. The overarching answer to these questions is that strength training will improve your cardio substantially, but cardio will not help your strength much.
Balancing Strength Training & Weight Loss
The most common goals new trainees have are “lose weight” and “gain strength.” This can be challenging, because calories and protein are necessary to gain strength.
