Story
What’s your max squat? How much ya bench? What’s your best deadlift? Can you press your body weight? Today, pushing quantifiable expressions of strength, like your maxes, is becoming increasingly ubiquitous. However, though strength may be specific, real strength is much more than a powerlifting total - it’s about resilience, capability, and adaptability. It’s survival of the fittest after all, not the strongest.

Starting Strength has been called the best and most useful of fitness books. The updated third edition expands and improves on the previous teaching methods and biomechanical analysis. No other book on barbell training ever written provides the detailed instruction on every aspect of the basic barbell exercises. Many people all over the world have used the simple biological principle of stress/recovery/adaptation on which this method is based to improve their performance, their appearance, and their long-term health.

Imagine this (go ahead, it's an easy one): You're bored with your workouts. Nothing's changing; you're not getting stronger or leaner or feeling better, and, heck, maybe you'll just take a layoff and see what happens. You know what happens. That two-week layoff lasts a year, that's what happens! Now consider this: Traffic was light and you're 15 minutes early for your dental cleaning appointment. You flip open your device and bring up your new copy of Before We Go. By the time the dental tech calls you, you've heard two chapters and are amped to get to the gym. Your mind is racing through the appointment, and it's all you can do to stay in that squeaky lounge chair.

It is widely believed that improving your appearance will lead to success in other areas; jobs, relationships, personal well-being. And while there are some studies which suggest this is the case - for example, because of the biases which are often expressed against heavier people at school and in the workplace - there are others who argue these effects don't last beyond first impressions. The truth is, devoting too much attention to appearances can damage a person's self-esteem.

Kettlebells are often described as a handheld gym for a very good reason – they’re so versatile that you can train nearly every part of the body with them. Not only that, kettlebell exercises are multiplanar. To put that in simple terms, you’ll engage numerous muscles at the same time to get that mind-blowing full-body shredding and muscle building routine.

According to Livestrong, several studies have been conducted revealing how subjects burned an average of 20 calories per minute during kettlebell workouts. That’s the same number of calories burned per minute as running a six-minute mile! Knowing that - along with the fact that kettlebell exercises can be done by anyone of any fitness level - who wouldn’t rush straight to Amazon, order a kettlebell or two, and get started right away?

If your one of the many people who struggle to reach the rim and dunk over their opponents, don’t get disheartened – because what many don’t realize is that dunking a basketball requires more than on court skill alone. And it is certainly not determined by either your height or your age. In fact, our ability to dunk is dictated by our muscle strength, muscle power, and our vertical jump performance. Which in itself is an extremely positive thing, because these factors are not necessarily inherited, nor are they determined at birth. Rather, each of these factors can be trained independently in the gym and on the court, allowing us to improve our vertical jump height, ensuring we can dunk with ease – irrespective of either our age or our height!

Publisher's Summary
I have gathered the best knowledge available for someone to begin weight training. I think everyone wanting to begin weight lifting to consider this book because it will provide you with a wealth of knowledge to get yourself started off on the right foot. I see many people begin exercising without having a clue on what they're doing. You can tell they are oblivious to working out because that aren't doing anything right in their routine. A poor routine is a foreshadowing to failure in the long run. If you take time to educate yourself on the basic of weight lifting, you will begin to better results, which can range from fat loss to Olympic strength. This book will eliminate the need for a personal trainer, because I provide you with a wealth of terms on direction in order to have the same knowledge as your average trainer. I am a certified professional trainer through the National Federation of Professional Trainers (accredited by the NCAA), certificate number 45582.
