Combining Starting Strength & Convict Conditioning

Combining Starting Strength & Convict Conditioning

I signed up for a gym right next to my house yesterday and I need a little help coming up with a workout routine. I am a complete beginner, having had no experience working out. From what I've read on the board, the two best programs are Starting Strength and Convict Conditioning. I own both books and was wondering if anyone with more experience could help me combine the two programs or if that is even a good idea.

Here is the routine I was advised to follow for Starting Strength:

Workout A
•3x5 Squat
•3x5 Bench Press
•1x5 Deadlifts
•**2x8 Dips (if you cant do these or no assist machine then do Decline Dumbbell Bench Press with your hands Facing each other)

Workout B
•3x5 Squat
•3x5 Standing military press
•3x5 Bent Rows (or power cleans)
•**2x8 Chin-ups (recommended mainly if doing the cleans)

Week 1:
•Monday - Workout A
•Wednesday -Workout B
•Friday - Workout A

Week 2:
•Monday - Workout B
•Wednesday - Workout A
•Friday - Workout B

And then alternate between A & B adding more weight each week until you plateau, then to add reps.

And these are the exercises for Convict Conditioning; I'll be starting on Step 1 of the exercises:
1. Push Ups
2. Pull Ups
3. Bridges
4. Squats
5. Knee Tucks
6. Headstands/Handstand

Any advice on an appropriate combination of the two is sincerely appreciated.

Thanks so much!
