The Novice Linear Progression: LP All The Things! 

Thanks!

Yup and I keep going back to it over an over.

Of all three SS books, I found it to be the most user friendly and practical. Very well written for a broad audience, not just those over 50.

I'm 70...STILL working in a factory...still smoking guys 20 years younger.. Weight training is the fountain of youth 💪

You can stay in a novice state forever in your old age...just back it off. The benefits to your old body is nothing short of astounding, even with just that vs the alternative.

Great to hear from you!

The Barbell Perscription book offers numerous variations and tweaks to extend the novice phase, covering all sorts of variables (frequency, load, volume, new lifts, etc.). All the templates are in easily indentifiable boxes. I just hand copied all of them, along with a few of the intermediate level ones that matched my situation, inside my workout logbook, for use if needed. I never made it out of novice workout 1B anyway. I am on hiatus from SS, and will resume basic Novice workout (1A) from scratch in late fall. Also, I do farmers carries and find them invaluable.

Don't come into my house talk smack, fuckface. If you actually have something intelligent and constructive to say, go ahead and say it. We'll listen. If not, you can just fuck right off.

@@GreySteel According to Professor McGill it’s Dangerous

@@GreySteel According to McGill Most disc hernations and pain from disc-associated injuries come Good Morning form of Squats.

@@user-yw8hs8sv9p According to me it's not. See how that works? That which can be asserted without EVIDENCE can be REFUTED without evidence. Except I actually HAVE evidence. I have, for example, that man whose squat you spat upon while knowing NOTHING about him or his clinical presentation, and probably nothing about squats, either. That athlete is a stroke victim. He has profound kyphosis and shoulder immobility. And he's in his seventies and he squats--probably more than you do, and certainly more than Stu McGill. And he's been doing it for years and he's fine. In fact, it's absolutely transformed him. Now, THAT is evidence. It's anecdotal, but it comports with our larger clinical experience--we and our colleagues all ofver the world see the same thing all the time--and with the published literature. That is MORE evidence. Where is STU'S evidence? Where are his case-control series published in the peer-reviewed literature? Where are the meta-analyses or kinematic studies that show that the particular squat you see here is dangerous? What element is dangerous? WHat is the case-controlled injury rate for the particular form errors you think you see? Where is the EVIDENCE to support your bullshit claim? Most important, where is YOUR evidence, Anonymous Troll, besides "For Professor McGill Tells Me So?" Do you even have any conception how pathetic that sounds? I have to confess that at this point I suspect you can't possibly be serious. Nobody is this lame. Damian? DAMIAN? Is that YOU, fuckface? Did Georgia put you up to this? I figured you out. Remember what Robert told Ben: Never go full r**ard.

@@GreySteel First off you don’t know anything about my athletic background. I ran 4.4 in 40 bench press 225 for 15 reps at the NFL Combine in 1989..I weighed in at 189 lbs 6ft tall. I am not so internet troll. I had the pleasure meeting Dr McGill along with Louie Simmons at a seminar. So my information is valid.
