Rippetoe's Method

Rippetoe's Method, developed by strength coach Mark Rippetoe, focuses on building strength through a few fundamental compound exercises, primarily the squat, deadlift, bench press, and overhead press. The approach emphasizes progressively increasing weights in a structured program, typically involving three workouts per week. Each session targets these key lifts, allowing for consistent strength gains. Rippetoe advocates for proper technique and adequate recovery while minimizing unnecessary variations in workouts. This method is especially popular among beginners and intermediate lifters aiming to increase their overall strength effectively and efficiently.
