As the title implies, this book discusses the mental aspect of weight training. The book contains sixty short stories that provide a theme on helping you set and achieve goals, how to set your mind to lift heavier weights, how outside sources can interfere with your training, etc. All of the suggestions provided can be used in every aspect of your life. A wonderfull read and is a must have in any weight trainee's library.

Look, there is not much I can say except this is excellent and if you strive to achieve anything, especially physical-oriented, this is the book to get for mental aspects. I am sure there are other more fancy-pants ones out there, newer, more technical whatever - but this is no-nonsense guts of it and will inspire anyone involved in pursuit of physical excellence. Check it out.
Developing a Mindset for Success November 7, 2000

I believe Yogi Berra said something to the effect that "90% of the game is 50% mental." Strossen explores the mental aspects of weightlifting and weight training and guides the reader to a mindset for success. Strossen's analysis is literate, readable, entertaining, and educational. Having trained with weights for the better part of four decades, I have fallen into many of the errors Strossen discusses. I only wish I had read "Ironmind" at the beginning of my training career rather than the end. Strossen quotes an interview of Buster Douglas shortly after Douglas defeated Mike Tyson. Interviewer: "Buster, you kept him at bay with double left jabs, you leveraged your height advantage and kept tagging him with rights, you tied him up, you maintained that delicate balance of constant pressure [etc., etc., etc.] Was that your strategy? Is that what you planned to do?" Douglas: "I planned to whip his ass." Douglas had the cultivated a mindset for success, and "Ironmind" can help you cultivate it, too, not only in athletics, but in almost any field of endeavor to which you apply its principles.
An Exercise for the mind March 22, 2000

This is a truly excellent book, I recomend it to anyone who has less than stellar mental toughness. The articles in this book help you achieve new levels of performance. This book will not only help you with your weight training, it will help you in any situation that requires mental strength, stability and confidence. Furthermore, it was a pleasure to read. If your looking for a unique way to improve your training, this is what you've been looking for.
