Ok, we've talked about why you oughta get strong, but how do you do that exactly? With four basic barbell exercises and a simple linear progression -- the novice linear progression (NLP or just LP for short). Trent and Jordan walk through the fundamental concepts of programming, the stress/recovery/adaptation or SRA model, and why you have to lift a little heavier every time you go to the gym to see progress. This program is simple, hard, and very effective when done correctly.

• The Novice Linear Progression (including an explanation of how the basic program begins to change as a lifter gets stronger)
