One thing to consider regarding the 98.1% of people not doing the program as intended: I am not 100% sure how the data was aquired and especially, how much you had to deviate from the program to be considered to NDTP. But in my case I read something about Starting Strength on the internet, scraped together the information I could get about it online and decided to give it a go, to see if it worked. And it did, so after about 3-4 weeks I ordered the book and noticed how much of my initial information was wrong. Assuming I am not the only one who did it this way, maybe that explains a few things.
I'm not saying this was a good approach. Getting a coach (difficult in some areas of the world) or at least reading the book first would have been a lot smarter. But it is not very cheap (at least the paper version isn't) and with the state of false advertising and general bullshit in the fitness industry I have to admit I was sceptical at first. Very much sold now, I am promoting the book to everyone who wants to hear about it, but sceptical at first.
