Starting strength is a breath of fresh air in the muggy atmosphere of pseudo experts hawking complicated systems and theory’s which are more intent on dazzling and confusing the reader than enlightening them. It is written in a concise language with easy to follow instruction and no frills or gimmicks, but just tried and true fundamentals which will produce the desired results. This instructional text is an absolute “must” for every athlete or coach who is serious about strength training.
