Guest kINGPIN Posted November 10, 2001 Share Posted November 10, 2001 I was am curious as to how good some of the books from Ironmind are. I am interested to hear peoples opinions on 'Super squats' and 'Power to the people'. All comments/critisisms are welcome as I am interested in the two.

tomfitz Posted November 10, 2001 Share Posted November 10, 2001 personally, i highly recommend 'super squats'. details a simple, no b.s., hardcore program that can add a good deal of bulk and strength to those who try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 You NEED to read ''Dinosaur training'' by Brooks Kubik. This single book covers everything you need to know to build serious strength. Kubik advocates severe grip work and sticks to the basics. Super Squats is also a great book for 20 reps enthousiasts. Finally, you HAVE to get Mastery of hand strength, by Brookfield.

Solan Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 A rather obvious choice is "Mastery of Hand Strength" by John Brookfield. If you are into weightlifting, "The Weightlifting Encyclopedia" is a must. I also have good experience with the previous edition of Tsatsouline's "Bullet-Proof Abs".

Guest kINGPIN Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 A lot of good suggestions here, at least christmas is coming. I am just after a book that teaches the basics and I do like 20 rep squats from time to time. The book By Tsatsoline seems a bit of a gimmik so am interested to see what other peoples views of it are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuel Crusher Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 Super Squats is one of the best training books I've read. The other one being 'Brawn' by Stuart McRobert, Ironmind don't sell it tho ??? FC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kINGPIN Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 McRoberts books are in my opinion the best there is. The only problem is that I have read them all and am always willing to soak up new info. He referes to super squats a lot which is why I want it.

Fuel Crusher Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 Stuart refers to it for good reason, not a thick book by any means but if you're interested in 20 reppers its a must have. FC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
