I agree with EricT with regards to Rippetoe. It is a good illustration that one should gain as much knowledge as possible from a variety of reliable sources. I have found a lot of wisdom in Rippetoe's Starting Strength and a lot (more?) in Cressey's Maximum Strength. As you gain knowledge, you can start to see flaws in some of the thinking of the various authors/coaches and you start to develop a sense of what is right for you.
I didn't see a problem with Rippetoe's poo-pooing of variety. His approach works but it may not be the most beneficial nor good for those working with chronic injuries. So, I ignored that when I started doing a whole lot of variety in Maximum Strength.
Heehee...I didn't think of Rippetoe's involvement with CrossFit being a little bit contrary until now.
BTW, I haven't read any of Coach Boyle's work. I'll start looking for some of it.
