[.ca] Rock, Iron, Steel: The Book of Strength (ISBN 0926888072)

unique:
this book is what you need if you want to develop super strength without money.you will learn to train with barrel or shovel,to build your own primitive power rack and a lot of other things,but mainly you'll work very,very hard.if you haven't this book buy it immediately!!!you'll develop not only pure strength but also speed strength,resistance,endurance.......it's your final step in the quest of strength.become a dinosaurus,buy this book.

Thoroughly dissapointing:
I purchased this book after reading the rave reviews. Frankly, what I found were a bunch of lifts that require the trainee to live in a junkyard or in the backwoods somewhere. The point of the book is that you should work on different lifts to develop different types of functional strength. This can be done with some creativity. I aggree with this advice, I just don't find it practical to perform the majority of the lifts described (at least for city dwellers). Instead of this book, I would highely recommend The New Power Program by Dr. Michael Colgan.

One of the Best!:
Who says you need a barbell? You can gain super strength by just using a Shovel and a Barrel. This book is way better than 99.9% of the others out there. If you were to get four books I would get this, Olympic Weightlifting Encyclopedia, Russian Kettlebell Challenge and Mastery of Hand Strength. That is all you need. Ever.

One of a kind:
This is a unique book. It is not for bodybuilders but rather for those interested in building tremendous strength. What makes it unique is the honesty and freshness of the author. The book is truly written from the heart and has much unique information in it. There are many unusual lifts and training methods in it since the author shares his personal experiences (and experiments). One cannot help but learn from the book. Even those with no interest in building great strength will enjoy the book.
