Getting Stronger: Weight Training for Men and Women by Pearl, Bill
Aug 12, 2023
R.I.P. long live the King!
I would imagine most people that are looking at this review know who Bill Pearl the legend is.
I was around 10 years old the first time that I had an opportunity to read “Getting Stronger.”
Of course, there was Muscle and Fitness, Flex and Iron Man. I tried to absorb knowledge thru those monthly magazine Subscriptions. I longed for the knowledge to increase my strength, power and overall health and fitness.
There were very few strength and conditioning coaches in the early eighties. I found Pearls getting stronger as my Bible for the scripture for each athletics team that I played on and helped others with their competitiveness and their particular sport. Later, after multiple sports in high school I became a national level power lifter and division one strength and conditioning coach and have been in the business of Strenght Coaching for almost 30 years now.
I am now 52yo and I have passed on the fundamentals of strength to my children ages 11 and 13 respectively.
As far as strength goes….this is the Bible and Bill Pearl is the higher power of Strongmen.
I thank you for preserving these books. Beautiful clean and like new
