Soreness is not an indication of the effectiveness of your workout.

18 months does not automatically bump you to intermediate or advanced. You could be a "Beginner" for years. What differentiates beginner, intermediate, advanced, IMO, is there ability to progress on a given routine. Advanced lifters won't get much from ripps, but beginners will get tons of growth...see what I mean?

^^^ that is an incorrect definition bro...u need to read PP.....really...

beginner = can add weight to the bar every workout
intermediate = weekly progression
advanced = monthly progress
elite = annual progress

thats a brief summary.

What do you mean...Kane pretty much got it if you ask me. It does come down to how you progress. Yours is the more techncial PP defintion but you're both right. The biggest point is the time you have been working out is you training time, not your training age. I've certainly seen many people come through the forums with two or three years of "experience" but who could still be called a beginner in this context.

HS I wouldn't necessarily add anything. If it's light now and you build on it slowly you will progress longer. And as Sentinel said it's about progressing for as long a time as possible. You think your wasting time so you add weight....but then your subtracting a potentially substancial amount of progress. Once you get everything out of it you can you should have added a whole lot to your strenght base and then you can be more exact in choosing what intensity to start with. I wouldn't listen to people who tell you to use some formula to choose your weight the first time you do this program. Because it won't amount to a hill of beans. Start light and build on it.

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

thanks man. every time i have a question you answer it, and in a way that makes sence. i think you should be a teacher at some school. im planning on useing this program atleast till june so ill take it easy for now, but still add weight to every lift as long as possible. i was a little worried because im used to being so sore i cant move on saturdays. thanks for all your help and sorry for all the stupid questions.

Didn't we pretty much say the same thing?

I don't think they're stupid questions because your thinking isn't any different really than the majority of trainees out there. It's really about adopting a different mindset. One that places progress above anything else. The effects of one workout doesn't matter. It's the accumulated progress you make on a whole lot of workouts strung together over time. Once you begin thinking that way, you see that anything that takes away from that progress is bad, whether it's not doing enough or adding things because you feel you should be sore or it should be harder.

But it will get hard, so don't worry It's too bad that you have a finite time period on it.

i thought i learned from reading the forum, i guess not. lol. i did say atleast till june. im not gunna change it up unless i need to. ill be sure to tell you when it gets hard eric, i know ill be useing those 2.5 pound plates pretty quick.

yeah my bad bro...i misread something.....im sorry.....but still, go buy PP coz its brilliant!

peace brother and have a great weekend

u too eric
