My advice would be to buy the e-book. Its cheap, and it lays it all out for you really clearly including suggestions on different ways to setup the program according to method, days per week, different accessory styles, etc etc.
But no, you don't do 5 sets of 5 at all. You do three sets of 5 one wave, then next wave 3 sets of 3, then third wave is one set of 5 3 then 1, and deload on the last wave. The percentages for the weight you'll use gradually build throughout the program, and you rep out on the heaviest set for the main exercise. Accessory work is largely up to you.
The reason theres no specific back (or rather, lat) work laid out in the main program is that its primarily a strength program based around competition lifts.
The set-up i put together is balanced in terms of push/pull and theres no reason it can't be.
Again: buy the book. Read it. Read it again. Then read it a third time and put together a program as you go through it.

iv been looking into this program over the last couple of days - it doesnt seem to me there much in there for back? also im not sure if im understanding this but you do 5 sets of 5 reps for say bench then thats it ? 5 sets of 5 for squat - 5 sets of 5 reps for military press and 5 sets of 5 for deadlifts ? so on these days it says accesary exercises (does he mean isolation exercises or just add another exercise?

It's cool. Maybe you were including the warmup sets with the actual sets or something.
Great program though. I'm on the second wave and seeing good results already.http://www.getlifting.info

premo, it's not a good thing to directly copy and paste copyrighted information directly from a book.

The good morning and rows should work your back good enough. Not counting the lower back work that you get with deadlifts
