Reddit mentions of Starting Strength: A Simple and Practical Guide for Coaching Beginners

> starting strength

this one? https://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Practical-Coaching-Beginners/dp/0976805405/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1526352649&sr=8-5&keywords=starting+strength

Starting Strength (the 2nd or 3rd edition would be best, the 1st edition was more focused on teaching other people rather than the reader). This is a huge resource on form for the most common, major compound lifts (squat, bench, deadlift and overhead press).

Practical Programming for Strength Training explains actually setting up a program using the lifts explained in Starting Strength as well as discussing diet and nutrition. It's also written by the same guys that wrote Starting Strength.

FIT is written by one of the co-authors of Starting Strength along with Michael Hartman and Justin Lascek. It explains the ideas of incorporating multiple facets of training (strength, endurance, and mobility) into a single routine.

Finally, Becoming a Supple Leopard details even more form recommendations on a lot of lifts from bodyweight exercises to ring work and Olympic lifts. It's main selling point is the detail it provides on appropriate movement patterns, how to test for them, and stretching and mobility work to help correct any issues.

I look about your size before and and want to get to your after! I checked out leangains and I'm basically already eating that way, so it looks like I need to add lifting to my routine, but that link you linked is borked. is this the same book?

a) smarties!!!! we both have them on our lists!!!

now that im looking we have a lot in common on our lists same protein powder, sour patch kids. creatine. and now im going to add the bumper dumper


b) since we have a lot of the same items, im gonna try to pull things off my wishlist that you might like:

You seem to do a lot of outdoors type stuff, how about a waterproof iphone case. a recovery strap incase you ever get suck or need to pull someone out.

You must workout since you have protein powder and the like: i hear this is a great workout book.

and last but not least, a camping cot

It's a top rated strength training book, http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Practical-Coaching-Beginners/dp/0976805405

Thanks for the advice! I see multiple books on Amazon titled "Starting Strength." Is it this one or this? Thanks

I maintain a 500cal deficit diet (based on my TDEE), which comes to approximately 1920calories, consume approximately more than 180g of protein per day in 6 meals and lift 4 times a week/cardio 2 times a week.

My main target is not to bulk up, but to gain muscle while loosing fat and strength at the same time.

Ohh I forgot to mention that my lifting workout is very similar to the one described in starting strength, just in case you were wondered (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Starting-Strength-Mark-Rippetoe/dp/0976805405)
