re: Has anyone done Starting Strength

everyone benifits from powercleans especially as we get older due to us losing our explosiveness, but without somebody to teach you, yea I woud not recommend them.
If you like the linear progression style of starting strength I would suggest you do one of two things. Start with the stronglifts program and run it until you can't progress anymore, it is 5x5 instead of 3x5. Or run starting strength instead with pendlay rows subbed for power cleans.
run both programs until you can not progress anymore. From there I would look at moving to one of four programs in order of preference for you
1) Greyskull(if you feel like you can squeeze more out of a linear progression program with slower progressions). I wrote a primer on here and it shows how to run the program and how flexible it is.
2) Madcow 5x5- weekyl progressions, run for 5 cycles minimum. The old thread on elite fitness can be found through google and is an amazing resource in general.
3) 5/3/1- this is the program you move to for life. After a while this should be the main program you run. No problems drifting away, but it should be the one you come back to. Your wife so to speak. I highly highly highly recommend the 531 forever book and its one of the best programming books ever written imo. 531 like greyskull is extremely flexible and can be used for any number of goals.
4) texas method- this is the traditional program mark rippetoe has his lifters move to after SS. I am not that high on it for non athletes or for those concerned in any way with aesthics.

Yep, after I did a bout of DC training, I did instinct training and unintentionally did 5/3/1 without looking at or knowing what the program was through natural inclinations to do that type of training. I did very well for a long time.

I did 5 3 1 before. I did enjoy it and plan to do it again. I just wanted to do a good simple program to get me back into lifting. Practice my form especially on squats and build my way back up.
