Hmm..

I started reading Ahuld's Enc. of Bodybuilding..

And as was predicted here, it has indeed screwed me up.. LOL

When I started getting serious about weight training last Sept, it was recommended I start with Starting Strength (Rippentoe), as I wasn't at that point doing any deadlifts, squats, or chin ups..

But why are 10 rep, 5 set decreasing weights as you go excersizes recommended for bodybuilding, rather than the 5x3 working sets in the SS weightlifter tome?

What about the 5x5 model?

I'll keep reading the Encyclopedia, and once done I'll re-read the Starting Strength book..

But could you share your thoughts now and save me some head scratching?
