Just to clarify what I'm doing. I started with the StrongLift 5x5 (LINK) program. It starts with the bar and add 5-10 pounds each time in the gym until it gets heavy, then recommends moving to 3x5 and 3x3 once the increases slow down. With the 3x5 you should be adding warm up sets. It was my first step into a linear progression program and it made sense. I think the 5x5 was easy as it eliminated the complexity of changing weights, various number of reps etc.

After a few weeks I read up on Starting Strength and transitioned my programming to the standard 3x5 Rank Novice routine with 3-5 warm up sets. During the Rank Novice program the A workout is Squat, BP, DL the B workout is Squat, OHP, DL. I did it mostly because my gym has lots of SS lifters and I could not find a good reason why the 5x5 program was better for me. Now I can compare worksets and get in and out of the gym a little quicker. I have no idea if it is better or not.

Currently at 5rm(lbs): S/190 BP/140 OHP/95 DL/200, PC/??
wt is 187

I plan to keep focusing on strength for the remainder of the year, while keeping up my 2-3 hours weekend ride. This is 3hrs/3hrs weights/bike. In January I'll shift the volume back to riding so that will be 1.5hr/4.5hr weights/bike.

The biggest thing I've learned from this is getting lots of sleep. Eating is also important, lots of protein. Wow I need to eat a lot...

I'm glad this topic is taking off. As cyclists it's easy to focus on riding longer and faster, but most of us do it as an way to stay healthy so need some element of cross-training to touch on the weeknesses we develop on the bike.
