If you are a Novice the programming is very simple initially. I just add 5lbs to your lift 3 times per week. And depending on your age and genetics, I do that for about 3 to 9 months. Once you move out of the novice stage into an intermediate lifter then the programming becomes much more complex. 

Being in the novice stage is pretty cool because you are making spectacular gains in a short amount of time. You are pretty much getting 15lbs stronger per week in your lifts.

The programming is simple but learning proper technique in the squat, press and deadlift can be hard. It’s critical that you are aiming for perfect technique while the weight is not so heavy.
