Starting Strength

This book was life changing for me. I don't follow the book's advice at all anymore, since ultimately I decided raw powerlifting strength is not that useful for me in my daily life compared to kettlebells and heavy club. But the eloquence and charisma of the author really changed my perspective of gym culture. I had thought it was brainless people just looking to win at sports or look a certain way. But he brings the full depth to bear in this book which makes it such a powerful introduction to weight training. He spits facts unapologetically in a way that makes me feel alive; makes me want to be like “fuck yeah tell it Ripp”.
