Before starting Rippetoe's (plus chins/dips and abs) I was doing a 5x5 type program where I ramped up each set. 3-4 compounds + 1-2 assistance lifts per day, 4 days a week, 1.5 hours a workout. Finishing a Rippetoe workout leaves me feeling more beat up and exhausted than doing 5x5 ever did. 3x5 allows for a much higher level of intensity on each set, and I feel like I get a much better workout at the end of the day.
The more you know, the more you squat.

I was on Stronglifts, which is 5x5 with sets across like Rippetoes. Eventually I dropped the last two sets on my squats. But man, you're right. The only way I can describe it is like you're shedding old skin. As gross as that image is.
I only seem like I know what I'm talking about, because I only talk about things that I know about.
