Check this article out. What do you guys think?

So deadlift, bench press, squat, row, and do sit ups 3 times a week? No. I understand the need to learn new lifts by getting the form down first, but that's ridiculous.
"The only easy day was yesterday."
did you read the whole article, its only 3 times a week for the first week then progresses to 5.
He obviously didn't...it's basically the bill starr/madcow intermediate routine..at the beggining.
5 times a week? not so much a fan or believer.

No, it says squat or dead. This isn't my kind of workout because the loads are too light. 3 times a week would be ok but 5 times is too much IMO.
i want to try it for a week, see what happens....
So it's actually much worse then?Originally Posted by anth15

I think Mike Mahler knows what he's talking about. A lot of people would do well to listen to him.Originally Posted by anth15
A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook
