Anyway, I started the Starting Strength program today, beginning with Workout A, and I have to say, I'm a bit underwhelmed considering that it is only 3 exercises and I was out of the gym in no time. For those that have had experience with it, should I add anything to it or should I just stay the course?

I did this workout for about 3 months
Couple notes
-Made lots of gains in both strength and overall physique
-Depending on your job I found my legs to be extremely fatigued sometimes
-Doing 1 set of deadlifts seems really odd, but dont mess around with the overall program...there are a 2 or 3 exercises like clean and press where alternatives are mentioned
BB.COM have a pretty thorough writeup of the program and adding more to it as you become more advanced(Things like dips and chins are often incorporated)
