Cienfuegos Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I know one of the best ways to lose weight other than diet is to lift heavy. Cool. Now...what do you guys think is a good beginner program to facilitate losing weight? I lifted in high school so I'm familiar with the lifts. Just curious what you think.

Rooks Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 It's really just that (diet that is). Any program will work assuming you are at a caloric deficit. Quote Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Lift the same. You'll get more soar as you're not fueling as much for recovery. Ways to combat this are to have a smaller defeicit, eat more protein, and get more sleep. You can also lift less volume per workout, but do workouts more foten so you have the same weekly volume.

Jaymul Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Choose one of the 5x5/3x5 beginner programmes and run it while on a calorie deficit. You'll stall out sooner than somebody eating maintenance or a surplus but you'll still make good progress and lose fat. It doesn't really matter which you go for. You may be able to sustain a 3x5 setup like Starting Strength or Greyskull for longer than a 5x5 but there won't be that much in it.
