Essentially just Starting Strength, but with Rows

This is among a set of common workouts that follow the same structure and have the same (basic) set of lifts and rep ranges.

This is a 3 day a week Barbell Program. It uses 5 sets of 5 reps for everything* (hence “5x5”).

*everything except Deadlift

Day A

  1. Bench Press 5x5
  2. Squat 5x5
  3. Bent-Over Row 5x5

Day B

  1. Bench Press 5x5
  2. Overhead Press 5x5
  3. Deadlift 1x5

These are all 3 day a week Barbell programs using basically the same exercises in the same set ranges.
