alright, im planning to start lifting with my dad at a gym ive gotta actually pay for in 2 weeks. my dad and i both aren't really looking to gain mass as much as strength . so i was wondering if rippetoe's starting would be better or worse then a single factor linear 5X5. ive read about each in the journal section and i like rippetoes because its SO SIMPLE. im just not sure which one i should do.
