Just something that came across my mind. Starting Strength advocates doing 3 sets of 5 reps because increasing the volume (no. of sets) or doing high reps will make you stall sooner. ie. it is much easier to do 5 reps of 100kg and keep adding weight rather than 8 reps of 100kg.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot n00bs! i ask a lot of these questions because I'm quite new to weightlifting.
That helps a lot. I'll do the program for at least 6 months and see how I go, will be doing a lot of endurance/interval running so hope this doesn't cut my recovery too much.
For PTC, is it reasonable to make those lifts at a bw of 60-64kg?

Sorry John, what weights?
For the record, Shorty at 67kg has squatted 172.5kg, benched 120kg and deadlifted 212.5kg with under 3 years lifting.

n00bs, I was thinking of lactic threshold type training when I said endurance, not long slow distance, my bad.
Dave, 2 minutes high intensity sprints/runs, followed by a minute rest, repeated 6 times.
PTC, I was referring to the bench 100kg, squat 140kg and deadlift 180kg on the front page. I remember on one of the newsletters your son Max came close to these at around 60-65kg, and shorty's lifts at 67kg is just amazing!
