What is the opinion of Reddit about the
Never Let Go: A Philosophy of Lifting, Living and Learning?

In b4 Starting Strength (which is good, but that is a whole other topic)

But seriously, Dan John’s ‘Never Let Go’ is an excellent treatise on weight training and overall life outlook.

Ideas:

• A cloth yoga mat, I love my cotton yoga mat
• A small, starter dumbbell set
• A good book about fitness. I like this one by Dan John.
• A fitness sandbag
• Since he’s into push-ups, maybe parallettes.

Ironmind: Stronger Minds, Stronger Bodies by Randall J. Strossen

Strong Enough? Thoughts from Thirty Years of Barbell Training by Mark Rippetoe

To me, those are mandatory.

I also read a bunch of Pavel Tsatsouline’s book. Good but not great (Enter the kettlebell, Power to the people, Naked warrior)
