Unlock Starting Strength Linear Progression in Capazity

Premium members get this full program with every session scheduled, logged and auto-progressed from their own maxes.

About this program

This is a general-purpose Starting Strength–style program using two alternating full-body workouts (A and B). You train three non-consecutive days per week (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri), alternating A and B each session. The focus is on heavy compound barbell lifts with low-to-moderate reps and progressive overload: when you complete all prescribed sets and reps with good form, you add a small amount of weight next time. Rest 2–4 minutes between pressing sets and 3–5 minutes between heavy squats and deadlifts. Run this simple linear progression as long as you can continue adding weight session to session.
