On: Everything You Know About Fitness is a Lie

[ryanfitz]

When it comes to lifting the only real "fact" is that what works best varies from person to person. People with great genetics can do heavy volume lifting 5 or 6 days a week and make amazing gains. Meanwhile, others will struggle to make any progress even with a low volume 2 day a week routine because their body doesn't recover well.

Just go out there, experiment and see what works for you.

Yes. But just include the workout from Starting Strength (or similar) in your experiments. It should work for nearly all beginners.
