Strong Enough? Thoughts on Thirty Years of Barbell Training

By: Mark Rippetoe

Narrated by: Mark Rippetoe

There are lots of things about weight training in general and barbell exercise in particular that can only be learned by spending way too many hours in the gym. And honestly, unless you're a gym owner, this is a really weird way to spend 75 hours a week.

Mark Rippetoe has been in the fitness industry since 1978 and has owned a black-iron gym since 1984. He knows things about lifting weights and training for performance that most other coaches and professionals have never had the chance to learn. This book of essays offers a glimpse into the depths of experience made possible through many years under the bar, and many more years spent helping others under the bar.

Classic Rippetoe Rant

When you hear it you'll instantly know how important the squat is and how close Mark Rippetoe can impersonate Tim Curry.

I am a huge supporter of this man and his simple system of strength training. This book is a look into the mind of the Rippetoe, and I would consider this a condensed version of his radio show.

Surprisingly good performance

There was never any doubt that Rip’s content was excellent, but his performance on this book was stellar.

Great Content but Title is Irrelevant

Great content given in a straight forward no silly bs way. However, f you’ve read his other books I’d save the time and money on this one.

Worth the listen!

Enjoyed it and found Rippetoe’s views entertaining and educational.
Would recommend it to anyone serious about weight training.

Loved it

The more I learn about Rip and the more of his stuff I read, the more I like him and the more I find we have in common. Great book. Read it several times.
