Pearls of wisdom from the pink fat man
The single best piece of literature in barbell strength training ever made. Engaging well-written and well narrated content that stands above the parapet in a sea of misinformation and spurious claims.
Common sense expertly dispensed.

The book that introduced me to barbells
No other person can narrate this book but Rip himself. And it's done perfectly. It supplements the written version for sure.
