Default Beginner or Intermediate

I wanted to add something about this business of training status. Not necessarily aimed at the OP but what Rabbit said put me in mind of it. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced in regards to these programs has very little to do with training time. Training AGE, and time in training are two different things in that regard.

There are guys who have been training for 2 or 3 years and could still benefit greatly from the beginner program. If you've been doing nothing but bodypart splits for a year or even more, going into full-bodies assuming you are intermediate could be a mistake and you could still be able to progress workout to workout in the starting strength fashion. Perhaps for not as long as if you were an absolute novice but certainly good progress gained a lot more efficiently than skipping right to weekly loading, let alone advanced loading .

So if anyone is not sure where you stand and this type of training is new to you, try the Starting Strength. It won't hurt you and may just put you well ahead of the game.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
