The best book to get strong in a dependable and injury-free way. I will reference this for the rest of my life. This is the most valuable fitness book I have ever read. Not only does Mark tell you how to start with strength training he will always explain the why right along with it. He will never say to do something without explaining why. Not only does he give you a "why", its a "why" that is backed up by a lot of experience with training people to get stronger. Even more, it is backed up with logical conclusions based off of anatomy. This straight-forward approach is what I was looking for to bring my lifting to the next level. A lot of the how and why described in this book helped me tweak my lifts to be stronger AND safer. I cannot thank Mark enough for putting out such an excellent book. I will be referencing this book for the rest of my life. I am looking forward to buying the next book for strength programming.I have included a photo of the book that includes dimensions. This is the PAPER BACK version.Pros:*Excellent explanation of HOW to do lifts*Explanation of WHY he teaches the lifts the way he does*Great starter strength programming that is useful for any lifter.*Prevents injuryCons:*NoneAdditional Considerations:Look into getting the second book if you would like more strength programs to make yourself stronger. Another thing, Mark has a ton of great youtube videos out that goes over the various lifts and other things. Those along with the book make it very easy to self correct and get better at lifting. I cannot recommend them enough.Overall: 5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, <.5 rounds down) => 5 starsIf you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.Excellent resource that has had an enormous impact on my quality of life. Excellent resource that has had an enormous impact on my quality of life. Combine this with the free Starting Strength podcast and instructional YouTube vids and you have your self a worthwhile education and practical application class. I put a rack and barbell in my garage and have been applying what I have been learning over the past 6 months.Bench was 195lbs for 5 reps and is now 245lbsOHP was 115lbs for 5 and is now 155lbsDL was 315lbs for 5 and is now 455lbsBS was 285 for 5 and is now 365lbsand all still climbing..Update: My Squat is now 415lbs DL 505lbsAs an added benefit, I am not constantly hurting myself with bad form and having to take time to heal and thus lose gains. Also, I don't hurt when I get up in the morning. All this with previous C-Spine, knee and nerve damage injuries from three combat tours to Iraq.Exercise Bible The only bad thing about this book is that it makes you want to go up to people and correct their awful form. Once you learn it, you can't unlearn it.Mark Rippetoe provides an irrefutable argument that the best exercises we should use in the gym are barbells.1. The exercises we choose from should use many muscle groups2. The exercise takes us through the full range of motion3. The exercise allows us to lift the heaviest weights possible (with good form of course)As a personal trainer It's a shame that this information is neglected in most standard textbooks of the subject.If you're going to buy one book to become a stronger version of yourself and not waste time then make it this one. You won't regret it.
