#3 - Your First Day in the Gym
from The Family Barbell · host Trent Jones, SSC
Yer a lifter, Harry! Or whatever your name is. Once you begin the simple, powerful, transformative process called the Novice Linear Progression (or just LP for short), you are officially a lifter. You are training now, not just exercising. There's a plan for what you're going to do, and a plan for how you will progress. But what about your very first day in the gym? In order to know where to begin your LP, you need to find your starting point for each of the lifts. In today's episode, Starting Strength Coach Trent Jones walks you through exactly what to do on your first day in the gym, to begin a successful linear progression.
