Been talking with that personal trainer via email..

She's not so hot on the "Starting Strength" idea..

Granted this is probably the first she's ever heard of it (I sent her links about it)..

She's all

"this starting strength routine you've shown me, honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. The type of moves they state DO NOT provide any strength building for any stabilizing muscle groups, and though some are compound moves, your missing out on a lot of muscle groups in your body that these go no where near benefiting.without adding the other necessary major muscle groups to those moves, it's not a complete routine.. You can do them, but you aren't going to get ANY results if you are only doing 3 sets of 6 reps at 60% of your 1 RM (whatever the hell that is)"..

Wonder what she'll recommend..
