The book everyone must read July 10, 2008

I'm not an expert on training, but from the reviews I've read and all the info Ive come across on Rippetoe, this a must read. If all the principles on this book are true, which they sure seem from the detailed explanations and the depth of the physiological discussion, this book explains all you need to know to become strong and healthy. My results so far are awesome, not only because I feel much healthier and stronger, and I look better, but most of all, because I like the workout so much I just can think about anything else than going back to the gym. And I'm a guy who never enjoyed exercise much at all.
Great Book June 29, 2008
This is one of the best strength training books I have invested money and time into. It covers the dominant strength exercises in detail and includes great photos to enhance the learning process. This is well worth the money if you plan on getting strong and doing it the right way.
Everyone should own this. June 26, 2008

This is by far the best lifting book available. The squat section alone is worth the price. I wish I would have had it years ago. I used to have problems with knees and back from squat and deadlift and the technique in this book helped tremendously.
Bible for the Novice June 13, 2008

As an older novice to barbell training, Starting Strength was mandatory reading to understand the physics and physiological principles of proper technique. I found the book comprehensive in its coverage and informative regarding specific techniques of basic exercises that serve as a foundation for any strength-training program.
Other novices should read this book carefully before embarking on a strength-training program for two reasons: (1) to maximize the desired effects of training and (2) to avoid unnecessary injuries that will only delay the goals of (1).

This book is incredible. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get stronger. Even after being an avid weight lifter for 10+ years I was able to make sizable improvements in my form. I also got stronger from follow the ideas in this book rather then the years of misinformation I had recieved from weight room gossip and muscle mags. Truly a must have for anyone involved in barbell training.
