Starting Strength Starting Point
Gear acquired (Rack, bar, weight). Question on the starting point.
I've started my NLP (three days per week) and am finding a rhythm.
However...
I started each exercise with just a 45# barbell. I'm now a few weeks in, and progress is steady, but slow.
A couple videos I watched on the four compound exercises (here) mentioned, as a starting point, taking each exercise, adding five pounds for a set of five, increasing until form starts to suffer, do two more sets, and then calling that a workout.
The Question is: should I? Or is it better to keep going the route I'm on for now?
Less worried about "quick gains"; more interested in longevity and sustainability...
... but this is MIGHTY slow.
