Its on this new workout im trying that skinsfan directed me too
When i was looking for a new strength workout that took as little time as possible

[GqArtguy]

Well Id still look into those places if you REALLY wanted to learn how to do the clean and press properly. If not, pick a different movement like a lighter, but fast, DL. Heres another 3 day setup by Bill Starr, its solid and strength based:

Monday
Squats-5x5(Do four progressively heavier sets of 5 with the 5th set being your 5RM.)
Deadlifts-5x5(Do the same)
Bench Press-5x5(Do the same)
Incline DB Press-2x12-20

Wednesday
Light Squats or Lunges-4x8 each leg
Good Mornings-3x8-12
Shoulder Press-5x5 or Dips-4xmax until you get 12 each time. then add weight.
Pullups-4xmax

Friday
Squats-warmup to a 3 reps with 5 more lbs than you used on Monday. On the following monday use this weight for your 5th set.
Bent Over Row-5x5
Incline Bench-5x5
Tricep Extensions-2x12-20

Im sorry to sound like a complete idiot here, But what does Rm stand for? I hear that referance so much on here and I just dont know what it means.

[mgomez41]

No problem we all have to start learning somewhere

it means repetition maximum

[Seth]

That makes sense. Thankyou

[Seth]

And while Im on the matter of sounding like an idiot I have one more question. I always see people talking about oly lifts and I have no clue what that means either.

Would you mind explaining what this is?

Last thing, I promise, I just have to get it out of my system.

If you say someone has a 5 repitition maximum, Does that mean they can only do 5 reps the x amount of weight?

[mgomez41]

damn triple post what a fucken idiot

[mgomez41]

accientally hit quote instead of edit lol

[mgomez41]

oly lift means olympic lift and check this site out that gq directed me to earlier for some examples and videos olympic lifts

oh and your right about that 5rm dont worry about feeling like and idiot for once i can actually answer someones questions correctly

[Seth]

mgomez - Thanks for answering my questions... And Im sure my obvious answer questions make me look more like an idiot than your triple post does to you.
