Rip will be spending less time each day on his Q&A Forum while he concentrates on getting a new, improved edition of Starting Strength to press.   Rip will be adding and adapting sections based on all he’s learned over the last few years.   Many modifications are based on new ideas and explanations that have been generated during the Starting Strength Seminars.

Mean Ol’ Mr. Gravity is a compilation of Q&A posts from Mark Rippetoe’s StrengthMill forum. Edited for brevity, efficiency, clarity, accuracy, and taste (in a loose sense, sorry), MOMG adds to the information available in Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training and Practical Programming for Strength Training by tailoring it to the individual through his responses to questions posed by actual humans regarding their own training. It preserves the coarseness, humor, and candor that have become Rip’s trademark style.

Available now at a $5 presale discount.

Our seminar has grown beyond the objectives and format of the Basic Barbell Certification, and an expansion of the material in the context of a return to the direct hosting of our seminars will enable the full development of their potential. An expanded 3 day format, additional instruction in both the theoretical and practical sessions, and, most significantly, comprehensive testing and assessment of competency will ensure the quality and value of the certification.

Our first priority is to assure you that there will be no disruption to the remaining Crossfit Basic Barbell Certifications that are currently scheduled. We then look forward to a continuing relationship with many of the excellent facilities we have previously visited, as well as the inclusion of new venues that are dedicated primarily to strength training. We are excited for this new way of offering our expertise and experience to the strength training community. And we hope to see you soon.

It is available for presale now, at a 20% discount.

If I have the 1st, do I need to buy this?
“The 2nd edition Practical Programming is not a major rewrite like the 2nd edition of Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training was. It is a polish and clarification of the same stuff from the first edition. It’s a much better book, and it has the aforementioned example workouts in place of the chronically misused and misunderstood standards tables, along with revised illustrations.” –Rip
