StrengthFull gym3 daysBeginner

This is the Workout A workout from the Starting Strength plan. It trains Quads, Chest and Back across 3 exercises, and takes roughly 58 to 73 minutes.

You open with Barbell Back Squat while you are freshest, then work down the list. Most sets sit in lower reps for strength. Rest 3 to 5 minutes on the harder lifts, and add a little weight whenever you own the top of the rep range.
