You might want to check this blog out. It has a lot of Bill Starr's articles reposted, though you have to hunt for them a little. I think most of them are between March and July, so search under there. They were a great help to me because they explain so much about WHY things work the way they do in strength training. To me knowing the why is essential to really being able to fashion something, whatever it may be, in a way that I can do it most effectively.
