Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Starting Strength
This is a very good book for beginning and experienced lifters. The message is simplicity. Follow a basic program and just get strong. The detail on how to perform the lifts is very good. I highly recommend this book.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best instructional book I've read
I've read quite a few books on strength training/exercise programs along with the articles in health magazines but this is by far THE most thorough INSTRUCTIONAL text I've seen. This is not the book for someone looking for an exercise routine, but if you are looking to do the main strength training exercises--squat, deadlift, bench-press and overhead press then this is the best book there is.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Buy this to get big & strong!
This book revolutionized the way I approach my workouts. I have increased my strength and overall health by applying the lessons learned from Rippetoe & Kilgore!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Book about form
A fantastic book about form in three basic lifting movements and some other helpful practices like pull/chin ups,dips etc. Mark writes this with passion and insists on details.I am very satisfied with this book and the price is great !



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Forgo your tin of protein powder this month and buy this book, right now.
After years of hit and miss weight training where I never really broke through my plateaus and was constantly frustrated, I found out about Rippetoe's starting strength. In one year I increased all my lifts beyond my wildest dreams and am now training for powerlifting competitions.

The book is funny and well written, and unmatched for the depth and clarity given to each lift and each topic. But it with Practical Programming and you will never need another book on strength training. ... Read More
