Heard its a good book but very hard reading.

One on the "to get list".

Also got hold of 5/3/1 for powerlifting.

Have read the original but this one is interesting so far, easier to read than the other which will be when finnish uni for the year. I am quite tempted to try out a 2day version, ie squats press, deads bench version.

Finished Game of Shadows & it was good old page turner. Well worth reading.

Reading this at the moment. About 5 chapters in and the first thing that stands out is how corrupt weightlifting is/was in these eastern bloc regions.

A lot of manipulation.
