STARTING STRENGTH REVIEW *6 MONTH Mark Rippetoe strength training powerlifter Basic Barbell Training
Note: I've never had a gym membership I started the program mid December 2012, the pics from earlier in the year of 2012 are of me cutting. This is the first strength training program I've ever tried. This is all opinion, this is in no way professional advice only my thoughts.
Conclusion, I've definitely seen a lot of gains and have fell in love with the program (the lifts/routine) as a whole (menus the diet, and recommended weight to put on your lift per day). Great program, I'd recommend it to anyone.
I started the program squatting only 95lbs, I can now squat 175lbs with proper form and reps 3x5 and plan to be able to squat my body weight by my birthday which is mid June.
If you have questions about diet, and supplements, leave it in the comment section.

No other book on barbell training ever written provides the detailed instruction on every aspect of the basic barbell exercises found in SS:BBT3. And while the methods for implementing barbell training detailed in the book are primarily aimed at young athletes, they have been successfully applied to everyone: young and old, male and female, fit and flabby, sick and healthy, weak and already strong. Many people all over the world have used the simple biological principle of stress/recovery/adaptation on which this method is based to improve their performance, their appearance, and their long-term health. With over 150,000 copies in print in three editions, Starting Strength is the most important method available to learn the most effective way to train with barbells -- the most important way to improve your strength, your health, and your life.
