Default Rippetoe's Starting Strength

Well, today was day 1 of my new work out routine at my new gym. Havn't been a member of a commercial gym since 1997 and it felt weird being there (and its nice to notice some things never change - nutty people still doing unusual exercises - like one guy pencil thin doing "curls" with huge amount of weight but only about 1"-2" range of motion).

I'm doing the Rippetoe's starting strength program as follows:

Weeks 1 - 3:

Workout A
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift

Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Standing military press
3x5 Pendlay Rows

3 onward (unless it messes with the core lifts)

Workout A -
squats - 3x5
benches - 3x5
deadlifts - 1x5
dips - 2x8

Workout B
squats - 3x5
standing press - 3x5
3x5 Pendlay Rows
pullups 2 x 8

I'm basically following this guide:

About me: 6'1, 187.5lbs (post morning shit), Age 31.

Supplements: ON 100% Whey, Prolab Creatine Mono, Multivitamin

My goal is to work this fucking program like a mule until I can works it no more. In other words, my goal for 2007 is to go from "novice" to "intermediate" while taking as much advantage as I can from day by day progression.
