1	Moving to a new location, no gym at new location so I'm going to make my own. As others have stated - don't go cheap on the barbell. Expect to spend around $300 for a good bar. I have a Rogue B&R and the knurling is sublime.	/r/askMRP	01/03/19 07:49 PM
2	How to lift? After you reach the end of your SS (or SL) linear progession, buy Practical Programming for Strength Training. I'd recommend SS over SL. SL adds tons (literal) of needless volume.	/r/askMRP	22/01/19 07:51 PM

2	Why StrongLifts over GreySkull for beginners? Starting Strength is better for beginners than Stronglifts. Difference is 3 sets vs. 5 sets. It might not seem like much, but as a novice 3 sets of 5 is sufficient to cause the stress, recovery, adaptation cycle. So why waste your time doing an extra 2 sets, especially if you are old and sensitive to (excessive) volume? Once you reach the end of your novice progression, then you need to move to intermediate programming like the Texas Method, 5/3/1, HLM, etc. I recommend Practical Programming for…	/r/askMRP	18/10/18 12:55 PM
1	Lift, Faggot, Lift I would advocate building your own home gym. Invest in a good bar (at least $300 - I have an old Rogue B&R), do not go cheap! Get a decent rack or squat stand, and a flat bench. Look for plates second hand (~$0.50/pound). Build your own platform (8x8) out of plywood and rubber horse mats. For about $1000 to $1200 you have one of the best investments you could ever make in yourself.	/r/MarriedRedPill	11/09/18 05:39 PM
1	Anyone recommend a Lifting routine without bench (until I can get it set up)? I see alot of recommendations for 5x5. Might I suggest 3x5 (aka 3 sets of 5, aka Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe). The reason is that if you are a novice (i.e., have not lifted for over a year), you make the same progress by only doing 3 sets. Save the extra sets for when you are an intermediate lifter. Then consult Practical Programming for Strength Training.	/r/askMRP	09/03/17 08:48 PM
1	Low T and lifting question Intensity would be the percentage of your 1RM. An example may be to do one heavy triple (80-90%), then drop 10-20% and do 1 to 2 back-off sets. Maybe look into getting a personalized program from Andy. He will craft something around losing weight while clinging to gainz. I'm pretty sure he includes meal/calorie guidance with each program. Good luck. BTW, I also did Starting Strength, and then moved on to a 4-day Texas Method, and am now doing a HLM program per Andy Baker. I wish I knew about thi…	/r/askMRP	26/01/17 08:44 PM
2	Low T and lifting question Check out Defy medical. They do tele-medicine and have an amazing doctor running the show.	/r/askMRP	26/01/17 08:10 PM
1	Low T and lifting question You will not lose weight doing Starting Strength or any of the intermediate programs that Andy Baker gives you, unless you are starting as a morbidly obese person. If you want to lose weight, you are going to have to cut calories, and cut way back on your volume to aid in recovery. Keep intensity high so as not to de-train. Regarding testosterone, check out excelmale.com. If you are serious about getting your hormones right, check out Defy medical. They do tele-medicine.	/r/askMRP	26/01/17 08:06 PM
