    No worries. Starting Strength is a great program, don't be put off by the title or Rip using the term Novice. I'd imagine the majority of posters on here are still Novices (me included). I'd love to stay a novice forever, the gains come so easy.

    Order the book if you can. Even if you don't follow the program its possibly one of the best books around for self-instruction on the Squat, Deadlift, Bench Press, Shoulder Press and Power Clean. It also explains the reasoning behind each of the suggestions (e.g. why you should arch your back in a bench and so on). It'll last you your entire lifting career I'd say and even if you ever want to sell it (I can't think of a reason why) the resale value is always pretty good and someone is always looking for a copy.

    Don't think it's in shops here, it's on amazon though. Got it myself a few weeks ago and it's certainly thorough :P
