Written on September 14, 2008 Summary: Great strength training method Starting Strength has been a real help in my effort to get stronger. It is NOT just for young athletes but us older ones too....I'm 50! Written on September 10, 2008 Summary: Excellent I am planning to become a fitness professional. As both someone who trains and will help others train, I have gotten incredible insight. The chapters will tell you some of the history and/or benefits of the movements, how to perform them, and how to correct bad form. All details are attended to. Written on September 6, 2008 Summary: Great first book on weight training I had been performing the big lifts (squat, bench, deadlift, rows) and supporting lifts (curls, shrugs, calf raises, etc) based upon the simple descriptions found in most books and online for the last few years. After the first year of decent gains, I started looking around for a reference which would spell out some of the finer points of technique to reduce the my chances of injury and to continue growth. I am now very happy to have found in "Starting Strength" a very detail oriented book on weight training which gives personal trainer levels of technique and program advice for all of the standard lifts. When I got the book, I read-skimmed it quickly cover to cover, then I slowly read each chapter on a particular lift for about a week while trying to adapt my technique and take the suggestions the book had to offer. It did take me quite a long while to make it through all of the material and I still refer to the book and find something I had not noticed before. I am now lifting more weight with proper form across all of my lifts and I don't seem to get the same minor tweaks(lower back or knee soreness on squats, etc) I used to get without realizing why. I recommend this book as the single best beginners book for any detail oriented person looking get into weight training. Written on September 5, 2008 Summary: freaking awesome! If you want to get strong like a bull, period, buy this book, and do this program. I have been doing this program for only one month, and am seeing steady progress in my strength. I do plan to switch to a hypertrophy program after I reach my strength goals (I want to bench press my own weight, squat 1.5 times my own weight and deadlift twice my own weight). So, for me, Rippetoe's program is a means to an end, not an end in itself. But, I am confident that I am training The Right Way (tm), because once I have strength, I can then lift heavy weights for hypertrophy, to get the "beach muscles". In short, this is the real deal for novices like me, I'm convinced. This book can change your life. Regards, Robert Written on August 27, 2008 Summary: Good stuff! If you're interested in coaching or performing the main strength/power lifts (squat,bench,deadlift,overhead press,power clean), gaining weight or getting stronger, get this book. |
