my personal suggested flowchat would be

Rippetoe ---> 5x5 --->EDT/Defranco
God, that's like Glassman claiming crossfit to be the greatest. none of those are frankly. It's a individual assesment and need based at the time. I can tell you that I don't use any of those programs 5x5, Rippetoe etc etc. neither does anyone at the US training camp in Park City. None the less, its arguining semantics.
