Starting Strength by Rippletoe Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

• TameAntelope 5y ago
  I would only recommend Ripptoe if you’re already strength training or have a passion for the mechanics of strength exercises, because if it’s not immediately practical or a fascination, the book will likely bore you.

    Opposite of my experience, helps you have the proper mechanical info to learn the basics, skipping marketing nonsense and mumbo jumbo. Knowing how to lift something heavy safely goes beyond the practice of strength training, it's a life skill.

      It's multiple hundreds of pages, and a gigantic waste of time for anyone who isn't interested in the mechanics of strength training. Not everyone is interested in the same things as you.
