A RIPPETOE CHRISTMAS: Reader Stephen Staff writes:

Glenn – was at the gym this morning and observed someone doing a barbell squat with perfect form. A quick question confirmed what I had suspected – Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength strikes again! It’s not the first time I’ve asked the question after observing someone with great form (which is all too often NOT the case) and heard them sing Rippetoe’s praises. I thought it might be a great idea to remind readers that the book would make a great Christmas gift to anyone who is a lifter – novice or pro. Might come in handy for those New Year’s resolutions as well! Thanks.

Good suggestion!
