I've never read or done starting strength, but I believe the idea is to continually add weight every workout. Correct this if im wrong.

So if you are already struggling with the weight on day one, then you are going to burn out quickly before making any significant strength gains.

So not only should you be using easier weight in the beginning to work on form, but its an integral part to the success of your program.

I would have to assume starting strength addresses this issue.
