Advanced: An advanced trainee has likely been strength training for more than two years. They work very close to their absolute physical potential.
Moreover, they have a relatively high tolerance for stress and greater ability to recover from training. With that, training volume and intensity needed to disrupt homeostasis and force adaptation requires longer periods of time to produce stress and recover.
This makes advanced programs even more complex and highly specific. By the time you are at an advanced level, you will need to really personalize your routine, so no single program is perfect for an advanced trainee like it can be for novices. As an elite lifter, you will know what you need to do and you will understand the tricks of the trade to enable the best response to your training.

Here are 5 tried and true strength training programs in order from beginner to advanced. Starting Strength Beginner 2. Strong Lifts 5x5 Beginner 3. Texas Method Intermediate 4. We will go through each one in detail, which includes the benefits, routine, and progressions.
At the end of each program, we have a spreadsheet that you can use. Starting Strength was was introduced to the world of fitness by former powerlifter Mark Rippetoe in Since then, it has become one of the most popular strength training programs in the game.
Starting Strength is effective at what it does. It is a minimalist-style strength program that focuses on the big basic compound exercises for the purpose of building general strength.
Its simple yet effective approach makes it great for beginners who want to learn the basics and get stronger. The goal of Starting Strength is to maximize your strength in 5 compound lifts, which are universally considered the most important exercises in fitness. Starting Strength uses a very clear linear progression. You add a little weight each workout and over time this adds up. As a beginner, you get what is called Newbie Gains super easy to make progress , so this linear progression is perfect and its fast.
All in all, if you are new to barbell strength training, Starting Strength is the way to go. This is a program that will work for any healthy novice. Give this program a go for months and then you can move on to a different plan. You have 3 Workouts Per Week. Most people workout Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, as this gives the weekends off, which is nice for work-life balance. Essentially, you need to take a rest day in-between the first workout and second workout, and a rest day in-between the second workout and the third workout, and two rest days after the third workout, each week.
This rest pattern is a must. As Starting Strength is aimed at novices, the first phase begins with just 4 exercises. With each phase, you will be adding a new exercise, and slightly altering the workouts. Stay at each phase for as long as you are recovering well and getting stronger. The goal is to maximize your strength, and the longer you can keep progressing on a workout-by-workout basis, the better the results will be.
The goal is to find the weight that brings you to near failure for 5 reps. Sometimes you may not actually be able to get 5 reps, and that's ok, because by the next session you should be able to, and that is progression. Keep track each session of what weight load you lifted so you can increase the next session. This phase usually lasts weeks. Continue where you left off in phase 1 weight load wise. For Power Clean, use the same method to establish your working weight and increase from there each workout.
Phase 2 can last anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months. It really depends on how you are progressing and how you feel. Average is around weeks.
Weight Load: Continue where you left off in phase 2 weight wise. For chin ups, once you reach 10 reps, start doing weighted chin ups. Add some weight to keep your reps between reps, and continue adding weight as needed to stay in that range. Phase 3 can last for months. Continue with the program until you have clearly plateaued. Not every day is going to be easy to increase weight. In fact, some days you might not be able to or you may even not get all your reps.
Just to make things clear on warm up sets, such as how many sets and reps, here is an example of how a warm up will look for squats Strong Lifts 5x5 is another cornerstone beginner strength program. It is as popular and effective as Starting Strength. In fact, is somewhat similar, but definitely different as you are going to see.
