It matters that you are 50 lbs. underweight. Yes, get the new edition, and get PPST while you're busy spending money. Things have grown more complicated over the past 4 years.
Everyone is always asking about other exercises to use, but all I have ever seen in the SS 1st ed (only Rippetoe book I have) is the A (squat/bench/deads) & B (squat/press/clean) alternating workout, is there something I am missing?
I started at the beginning of the year doing 5x5 and with an empty and added 5lbs each workout, I also switched off doing 3 sets to failure of chins/pullups after I did the primary lifts.
Now that I have been working out consistently for about 5 weeks and have the technique down I would like to switch to the 3x5 exactly as mentioned in the book.
Do I do the 5 lifts as stated in the 1st ed SS or is there something I am missing by not having the next edition?
I am (incase it matters):
5' 11"
150lbs
