The Beginner Workout

The beginner’s workout is based on a modified version of Mark Rippetoe’s “Starting Strength” program. You are to go four times a week to the gym for an average of 30 minutes each workout and alternate between the “A” and “B” workouts. A “set” is a collection of reps in a single interval. A “rep” is a single completion of a workout. “Load” means what percentage of the maximum amount of weight you can lift.
