I think you can definately benefit from the SS program.

This is what my workout looks like. I train three times a week. You start with a weight you *know* you can do 3 sets of 5 reps using the same weight. You have to start pretty light and then when you complete all 15 reps then go up 5lbs next time. In the beginning you should be going up everytime for a while.

Oh ya, and EAT!
