Strength benefits. The more you do a specific exercise, the stronger you will be at it. Simple as that.

Honestly, I would drop all this P90x stuff you've been doing. You need to go to back to the basic barbell lifts. I recommend doing some research on gyms in your area and joining one. It doesn't need to be fancy; just look for an inexpensive gym with at least one or two squat racks/power racks, dumbe...

Good ideas. It seems as though step 2 should be approached as a gradual "learning phase" in order to adapt the child to training. Beginning around age 7 featuring bodyweight exercises performed recreationally or for punishment,and gradually evolving into performing basic compound movements performed...

Also, the starting strength routines really aren't that geared towards repeating after graduating to the heavier weights. Doing squats three times a week plus DL'S sometimes twice a week with heavy weights is a recipe for wearing a body down. Steps 3-5 were meant to be performed for a relatively sh...

What age would you recommend beginning steps 2 and 3 at then?

Many lifters begin working out as teenagers, aimlessly walking into the gym and performing the latest "bro split" workout.

@Jclem23: What do you think of your current routine? Are you getting results? Are you bored or engaged by it? I'm just curious. I like my current routine alot. I've already seen some small increases in mass since I started it about 3 weeks ago. I posted it in a previous thread that I'm pretty sure ...

Just give it a shot, and report back to us what happens

Will do. I'm gonna stick with my current routine for another 6-8 weeks, and then I'll switch to this.

So I stumbled across the following workout template on this site: http://www.exrx.net/Workouts/Workout4PPPP.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; And this struck me as interesting.
