    beautiful...starting part 3 now...very helpful so far.
    I just had to deload from 100 down to 60 because I realized I had bad form as the weight got higher. This is just what I needed right now.

    I highly recommend that anyone who is starting a strength training program that includes squats (any program worth it's weight does) look into "Starting Strength," by Mark Rippitoe

    Oh, one more thang:

    Check out his videos on YouTube as well. He is very funny and very experienced. Personally I added 110lbs to my Squat using his and the 5x5 program at Stronglifts.com in just over 4 months.

    FYI: I lift 3-5 times per week.

    I'm reading this now; excellent book, TONS of great information, and I'm pretty sure my squats are PERRRRFECT from his advice. Rippetoe rocks.
