Thread: Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength, but higher reps for injury recovery?

Well, not quite an injury, ish.

I have pronated feet (now with inserts) and have been going to a physio to fix my back and neck issues caused by this from walking around for years without the inserts.

So, my physio reckons I can start lifting tomorrow, but he says to start at 15 reps and lower by 1 every week. So next week I will be doing 14 reps, etc.

Since I am new (weight trained before, but lack of diet knowledge meant no gains) I figure starting off with the basic Rippetoe workout is a good place to start.

Workout A
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift

Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Standing military press
3x5 Power cleans

You train on 3 nonconsecutive days per week.

So week 1 might look like:
Monday - Workout A
Wednesday - Workout B
Friday - Workout A

Week 2:
Monday - Workout B
Wednesday - Workout A
Friday - Workout B

Is it compatable with doing high reps, or should I be doing another workout plan?

At a guess, I would say to lessen the strain on the muscles that have had the scar tissue moved back into place.

But to be honest, I was wondering whether doing 5 reps, but starting off at lower weights would be a better plan?

And if so, how low and over what time frame should I do it before getting back to normal?
