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..
