The format is familiar to anyone who has read self-development books: a list of rules that are universally “good things,” illustrated with examples from the author’s own life.

There are real nuggets of training wisdom tucked between the profanity-laced … Continue reading Book Review: Rants of a Strength & Conditioning Madman, by Kurt Hester
