I loved this book - it's like having Dan along side you talking through his vast experience in the world of training and lifting.
This is a pleasure - i've been following Dan's advice and enjoying his writing since some of the early internet forums, so to have so much wit and wisdom at your fingertips is wonderful.
This is not a 'how to manual' in terms of technical instruction. As the title suggests, it's more the philosophy behind it. That said it contains lots of ideas and programmes you can do along with the why's behind them.
My impression is that we don't have such a culture of lifting and therefore don't have easy access to great coaches in the UK. Therefore Dan's words are probably even more essential this side of the pond.
Get the book! (Got mine through Dave Draper's site) It will teach you lots, make you laugh, and add another layer to your understanding, appreciation and importantly application to training.
Thanks Coach!

If you know Coach Dan John at all, then you will know that what he writes is worth reading. You might have seen the online download "From The Ground Up". This book, derived largely from his posts on Tnation and so on, is a compendium packed full of no-nonsense information. It is very well-written, every section has something you can implement, and his focus on old-fashioned hard work is just what we need as an antidote to much of modern so-called fitness writing. But more than this, the lessons in the book are I feel universal, and the subtitle is not at all pompous or pretentious. The lessons contained in this volume are applicable to so much of life. I had a copy rushed to me from the US, and cannot recommend it too highly. As a companion to Marty Gallagher's "Purposeful Primitive" and the books by Pavel Tsatsouline, this book is in good company. Add in Frank Forencich's "Play as if your life depends on it" and I think you are set. Together, they are all you really need to get informed, get motivated, and get stuck in. As for this book, it's probably a shame that a lot of people looking into training works will pass it by, settling instead for a generic weight training guide that will just be more of the same old nonsense that keeps getting recycled. Buy this one instead and find out about all the new old school stuff that works!

If you pick up weights, then read this book. This is years of experimentation and analysis condensed into one book. It's not a book of routines and exercises, it's goes so much more deeper than that. It's the philosophy of what makes for a successful person on the gym floor. It's the insight into what's needed to succeed and be the best we can be.
This book is the voice of a true coach pushing you forward and inspiring your every lift. It's the reality check that the fitness industry and what every person training sorely needs right now. Magazines are filled with more and more exotic exercises. Gyms are filled with more and more complicated machines. To achieve your goals all you need to do is simplify and pick something heavy up.
This is the only book that has given me a true direction with my training, something that no other has. It's the only book to answer all those questions you have after learning a new programme or wondering what it is your really doing. Read it, live it, lift it.
