Starting Strength Book Club

TravelsWithHuckleberry · January 2015

The divine MissHoliday and I have been chatting about how we both want to really dive into Rippetoe's "Starting Strength." We've skimmed and picked up pointers here and there, but know we're missing some good stuff by not reading the whole damn thing. And since it is rather... well, verbose, we figured doing it together would make it easier.

So we are going to start a little SS Book Club. Read a chapter together, discuss it, try out the form suggestions in our workouts, discuss those, tweak, review, whatever, repeat with the next chapter.

I'm thinking a different thread for each chapter might make the most sense, so people can jump in to the conversation any time, and post chapter- / lift- specific stuff.

Would anyone like to join us?

ooooo peeps. i am so going to lurk.

i haven't bought starting strength but it's a book i would buy in a heartbeat if i could find a copy of it anywhere in my real 3d world (i don't shop online, ever. unless it's once-in-a-lifetime like a ry cooder concert or something like that). and i kind of dont' feel right about scooping the entire benefit of it without giving him his royalty money, but i don't mind lurking At All.

in the meantime, i may have to go to my local mega-bookstore that does nto hve it, and see if i can get them to order it there.
