The current program that I am working is 531. Previous to this point "Starting Strength" was recommended by the friendly kids at /r/fitness and on many basic strength forums across the net. For anyone else starting out in the world of strength training I can't recommend it enough. It provides good solid foundations. For those of us who are a little more visual, you can check out the DVD
For those who want a good overview of some Rippietoe's wisdom (and reasoning to buy the book or DVD check out the following links)
Enough of the astroturfing, the Starting Strength book is a worthwhile read and a good reference for when you want to go back and check form on the common lifts. The 531 program and ebook does not cover the same ground as the starting strength program. The 531 book expects you to know good form and no longer be making linear gains.from your lifting.
I'm going to make a post at the end of this first loop of 531 regarding my experiences thus far.
