Starting Strength
This is a very good book for beginning and experienced lifters. The message is simplicity. Follow a basic program and just get strong. The detail on how to perform the lifts is very good. I highly recommend Starting Strength (2nd edition).
Best instructional book I've read
I've read quite a few books on strength training/exercise programs along with the articles in health magazines but this is by far THE most thorough INSTRUCTIONAL text I've seen. This is not the book for someone looking for an exercise routine, but if you are looking to do the main strength training exercises--squat, deadlift, bench-press and overhead press then this is the best book there is.
Buy this to get big & strong!
Starting Strength (2nd edition) revolutionized the way I approach my workouts. I have increased my strength and overall health by applying the lessons learned from Rippetoe & Kilgore!
Book about form
A fantastic book about form in three basic lifting movements and some other helpful practices like pull/chin ups,dips etc. Mark writes this with passion and insists on details.I am very satisfied with Starting Strength (2nd edition) and the price is great !
