    Default Deadlift frequency for Advanced Novice?

    • starting strength seminar december 2024
    • starting strength seminar february 2025
    • starting strength seminar april 2025
    If I follow the apps advanced novice progression, it will have me deadlift (F) and then two workouts later deadlifting again (B)

    Is this right? I thought according to the book you were always alternating power cleans and deadlifts, with chins inbetween

    In the app its setup like this:

    A
    Squat 5 x 3
    Bench 5 x 3
    Back Ext 8 x 3 (this will be removed later)
    Chinups

    B
    Light Squat 5 x 3
    Press 5 x 3
    Deadlift 5 x 1

    So you'll be deadlifting every other workout.

    Not for the advanced novice, where they introduce Power Cleans. That program has 6 workouts, labeled A through F

    We dont have that program in the app, just the base advanced novice.

    Are we looking at the same app? I'd post a pic if I could

    The official starting strength app, go to settings, Change Program

    There are 6 programs. Second to last is advanced novice. Under advanced novice it lays out Workouts A, B, C, D, E, and F

    My concern is that workouts F and B both deadlift, even though they're only two workouts apart (since the cycle just repeats)
