Hey Rip !!
I have recently read your book and I have to admit this is the most interesting book I have ever read. I like your simple yet very effective approach to training.
I have recently moved to 5x5 program as i am intermediate now, but a few friends of mine (from a competitive MT team) would like to try your program, but im afraid they wont have enough recovery between workouts as we train for 2-3 times a week, 1.5-2 hours each.
what are your thoughts of this? thanks![]()
Thanks for the kind words, but if SS is the most interesting book you've ever read, you must have just started reading a couple of weeks ago.
If your team guys are novices, I think they'll be fine with both types of workouts, at least for a few months until they get stronger. Novices are generally hard to overtrain unless insanity is being approached.
