Greetings, friends. I'm effectively a novice to strength training but am a huge fan of Pavel, Steve Maxwell, Mark Rippetoe etc. and have collected many works of these men. I recently purchased Power To The People on my Kindle and am intrigued by 5-day-a-week training. I feel that training only two lifts for 10 total reps will leave me able to be fresh for my physically demanding job. I just am asking for advice on how to determine which press I should use and how to determine my starting weight (10 RM?). I own some great equipment including a Rogue Ohio Power Bar + 400 lbs of iron & a decent half-rack and bench. I'm tempted to employ the BP as my pressing movement but should I be concerned about excessive anterior deltoid development? Any advice and considerations are appreciated, thanks.
