if your new to lifting this is a solid routine i put on about 10lbs before it seemed to wear off...but then again I realized i wasn't putting enough calories in so i'm sure that had something to do with it. Personally

(how i would start it off, i'm not saying one is better then the other)
beginner routine----->ripptoe------>bill star 5x5
