If you don't own Starting Strength..

[Kabeetz]

hurry up and get it.

I've seen these threads every now and again and you never quite believe it until you start reading it for yourself. It's worth every single penny many, many times over.

I've noticed that I have to read a little bit at a time because it is really important to actually digest and comprehend what is being written rather than just skim it, and then actually working that aspect into your lift technique correctly, and then onto the next one. There's just so many variables.. you don't realize how volumous correct form can be when put down into written word...

For those of you who learned/are learning from a knowledgable coach or similar type figure I envy you !

Hey, get offline and study for your exams! lol

I failed miserably in that goal. I guess I'd rather be dumb and strong than smart and weak.

 

[al420]

You sound smart to me.

I agree. I kept reading about how great it was, so I figured, "what the Hell. It's only $30". After reading it, it's worth much more than the $30 I paid for it. I was also pleased that I received it the day after I placed the order, but I don't live too far from Wichita Falls. For a guy like me with very little real instruction, it was a great investment.

I am actually doing less on squats now after reading it. Now I'm doing them the right way. Net result is my knees don't hurt anymore.

Which means you'll be doing a whole lot more weight years from now instead of spending time rehabing a bum knee. Not bad for 30 bucks or so.

Yup, nothing has helped my squat more than Ripps detailed description of the importance of keeping the femur and foot parallel to one another. Once I kept the knees OUT, knee pain went away.

Its good to see people are starting to believe the good things being said about this book. Now go get Practical Programming, its a must have...and its even cheaper than SS.

YES I LOVE THE BOOK MYSELF AS WELL AS THE PRACTICLE PROGRAMMING!!
They answered many question and reinforced many of my opinions.

I already understood about the knee placement but did no know what the week link was to the knees going in. and know i do and it make soooo much since.
