Book Reviews of Practical Programming for Strength Training
Book Review: 5 Stars For All Three of Rippetoe's Books; The Reviews Don't Lie
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book last summer, and decided to jump right in to a heavy barbell regimen as outlined in this book. Unfortunately, despite having lifted now for over 13 years, (primarily machines and single-joint exercises)my form on the squat, press, deadlift, and even bench press left much to be desired. I started to have some joint and back problems shortly after starting the barbell workouts so I went back to a higher volume, machine and dumbell oriented program for 4 or 5 months. I got this book back out around the beginnig of the year, and decided to purchase "Starting Strength: 2nd Edition" to try to focus on proper lifting form for the basic compound barbell exercises, as I had become very frustrated with my "bodybuilding/hypertrophy" workouts leading me basically nowhere in the last 5-6 years. After nearly 4 weeks now on a novice program, I have raised my 3 sets of 5 across weights pretty dramatically for each of the four basic barbell moves (squats, press, bench, and deadlift). What is great about "Practical Programming" is the fact that Rippetoe and Kilgore give so many strategies to break through plateaus at all levels (novice, intermediate, advanced, and elite), that this book could be used for years to make continued strength gains. I would suggest that anyone wanting to effectively use their time in the weight room purchase "Starting Strength", work on perfecting their form, and then buy "Practical Programming" to ensure years of success in the gym.
