Sai's Reviews > Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training

This book is pretty phenomenal. This was my second time reading it. I had previously read a few chapters, before I started lifting any weights.

After having been lifting for a little while, I thought this book was helpful for fixing long running minor errors in form for various barbell exercises. In that, this book is really worth taking a look at if you've incorporated lifting seriously in your life in some capacity.

There's a lot of very specific and technical training material, that helps to build decent mental models of the specifics of different barbell lifts: the fluidity of motion while lifting, the physics of the lift and why its useful, how they fit with the rest of the workout etc.

The author has a pretty fun way of writing, while also managing to purvey quality novel content in almost every page of the book. I'll probably review this book again in the next couple years.
