SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

I think the concept of variability is waaaay over used for many people's lifting programs.   I think just modifying reps and load is about as much variability as you need for a really, really long time.  I think the simple concept of starting light and just adding 5 pounds (or 2.5 if upper body) a workout when reps are met will last novice level people a really long time.  I have seen in real time with a younger person it will last a really, really, really long time as they are able to adapt (due to flat out natural growth along with hormones raging) at a rate that mimics a true novice for what is looking to be years at this point. 

  Way too many people either do too much stuff or switch stuff around too much during that "novice phase" which IME will last with adults from 3-6 months during which time they will increase their strength massively.  Sticking to even a calisthenics program for 3-6 months is going to net HUGE gains IMO.  I think there is some drop off longer term (with regard for maximal force development, but you can become "very strong for your size"..I prefer strong for every size, but this is just me) but everything has drop off longer term.
