Rip's Starting Strength program is 6-8wks, and he is adamant about saying that if you ain't doin' it EXACTLY as he suggests, then you're not doing his program.
And does he also say that his program is the only way to train, with NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!???
That was my point, 'tard. Go back and read it again, if you still don't get it I'll draw you a picture.
