2 or 3 days a week for a 59 year old novice
I asked this of Michael Wolf and thought I would throw this out to you all as well.
I am getting ready to introduce the Starting Strength program to a 165 lb, 59 year old male (he will be 60 next March) who has not lifted weights since high school. Now that he is retired he wants to start strength training.
Looking over the The Barbell Prescription I am uncertain as to whether start him out 3 days a week as on 197 or 2 days a week as on page 206?
Could you provide some guidance?
