"Starting Strength" for Beginners, Intermediates, and Advanced Lifters August 25, 2008
I have read a lot of sources on the subject of strength training and weightlifting and this book is the clearest, most comprehensive book written for the layperson I have come across.
Coach Rip explains the fundemental reasoning behind the form that he teaches for each excercise and keeps the focus on safe and effective strength training.
Whether you are a beginner to the world of barbell exercises, or an experienced veteran, this book will give you the tools to be a safer and more efficient lifter or give you some important coaching points that will make you a better trainer.
I highly recommend this book to the anyone with an interest in strength training.
Best fitness book I've read so far! August 24, 2008
This is the most no BS books I have ever read! The authors really put things into perspective and don't just try to sell their views. Great starter for the self-educated and young coaches like myself! Great job.
Outstanding Book on the Fundamentals August 23, 2008
As good for an established lifter wanting to review the fundamentals as it is for a beginner. The author has a refreshingly simple, direct style, which when combined with his encyclopedic knowledge of the body and his vast experience in the weight room, makes for an indispensable book. There are also hundreds of pictures illustrating nearly every point the author makes. An awesome work. And it's even an enjoyable read!

Mark Rippetoe's "Starting Strength" is, without question, one of the finest books of its kind. I have been going to gyms all my life, listening to people and reading many books on all aspects of weight training. Mr. Rippetoe, via his book, is the best teacher I have encountered. Whether you're a novice or an experienced lifter, "Starting Strength" will improve your performance and your outlook in the gym. It is a complete reference for the technique, and the purpose, of all the important barbell movements. It is well written, clear, and thorough. Highly recommended.
Excellent book July 23, 2008
