Title: It looks good on your book case
Review: I've heard about this book for many years. Many people in the strength community gave it praise. It was hard to find do to it being out of print. I finally got a copy and I am disappointed. It is all just RANT, RANT, RANT, I stopped reading it. It was just babble. It was like a motivational speaker with a 6th grade education. LIFT HARD, LIFT HARD, LIFT HARD! What does that mean? No technique explanation. No routines. No examples. No anatomy or bio-physics explained. The only redeeming value is he introduces odd-object lifting i.e atlas stones, kegs, huge rocks which is actually helpful and functional, but he doesn't explain why it works or how to make your own. This book is like MEIN KAMPF for weightlifters. I would suggest 'Power to the People' if you want to get strong. I was hoping this book would help me transition from powerlifting to strongman competitions, but I will look somewhere else. I wouldn't even suggest this book for general fitness.
