Hell, I give Rippetoe advice all over the place and I'm already trying to repair damage done by that kind of one size fits all advice.

Exactly! We're all guilty of that from time to time. That leads me to my next point.
Personally, having been a part of a few different bodybuilding communities for the past three years, oftentimes the CORRECT answer isn't always entirely welcome. Sometimes, if anyone asks a question about which day to place 'legs day' on in their 5 day split, it's NOT a cry for help to construct full body workouts. We all know what's OPTIMAL for some lifters, sure, but we also know that many people do very well split training. Shit, back when I started lifting, I didn't have access to these forums, so I did a 5 day split lol. I gained from 170 lbs in high school to 220 lbs just after the Marines doing my "random bouts of lifting". The ONLY correct answer is to be CONSISTANT with whatever you're doing! Of course, I'm not saying NOT to recommend something optimal w/ a greater frequency, just that the poster shouldn't have 5x5's shoved up his ass everytime he asks a question LMAO.
