DVD Reviews of Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training

DVD Review: Newbies will learn a lot, others not soo much.
Summary: 4 Stars

I really expected more from this DVD since I was paying $20+ for it and since it is by one of the best strength training coaches. I probably would of given it 5 stars if I bought it for less, I dont think its worth the $20 but if you get the book then might as well get the dvd right ? Ok about the dvd. I did learn a few things from it so I cant really put it down because of the price. I learned how to breath and do my overhead press properly which is really going to help me out in the future so that alone you can say was worth half of the price I paid. Also learned not to keep my hips so low while deadlifting. I didn't really learn much from the bench press part, I already knew to keep my arms locked, look at something in the ceiling, and keep an arched torso. The bench press part reinforced what I already knew. The powerlift, well I dont do powerlifting so cant say anything on that. The squat I did learn that I should bounce off from the bottom. Overall it was a good dvd. Some things contradict each other like for example when deadlifting make a keep your hips up, bar close to chins, big chest ... yet how can you keep your shoulders behind the bar when your hips are up and the bar is close to your shins ? well I think I need to read the section on deadlift in the book maybe it will clarify it. Bottom line is that I expected more out of this DVD, I guess Keep It Simple Stupid. Well if you are reading this review, do reviews on this or any other products because its what makes this work. I use to get lazy and not do them but I realized that there are people out there that help us by reviewing so the least you can do is help them by doing a review.

DVD Review: A perfect complement to the book
Summary: 5 Stars

The DVD along with the book can take your training to the next level. Make sure you get both though since a lot of things covered by the book are skipped in the DVD and vice-versa. The best way to use the book and the DVD in my opinion is to set it up in your gym and try out the exact movements as described when you are watching it. It also helps to make a few quick check points that can help when you are actually working out.

DVD Review: This works
Summary: 5 Stars

It has been awhile since I have down some power lifts I was all about the P90X workout for a year but then like everything became bored with the program. I bought the DVD so I could see the techniques and I have to tell you I didn't think the DVD was going to be this good. Great Detail that makes you perform the excercises properly. I also love the program short and sweet and a lot of fun. Also my arms have increased in size without doing any curls. This was something I was a little worried about. I am getting bigger everywhere and I like the newly added strength I have gained. Great DVD for any age buy it.

DVD Review: Very good overall
Summary: 4 Stars

Complements the book very well over all.
Took 1 mark off as there is a fair fews reps obviously performed with poor form that Rip gives the OK on.
apart from that, its great

DVD Review: Man & Woman Alike; This DVD is for You!!
Summary: 5 Stars

No matter what your body type, this DVD is for you. It details from multiple angles, each move; and with an array of different sized men AND women. I personally have never been great with trying to imagine just what is being explained in a book. With this DVD I saw and heard the moves explained and was able to follow along in my own living room with a simple stick until I was able to get the form down. The DVD is a must for anyone into weights. If you are a veteran or a novice, this speaks directly to you!
