Description: "Mean ol' Mr. Gravity is a compilation of Q&A posts from Mark Rippetoe's StrengthMill.net forum. Edited for brevity, efficiency, clarity, accuracy, and taste (in a loose sense, sorry), MOMG adds to the information available in Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training and Practical Programming for Strength Training by tailoring it to the individual through his responses to questions posed by actual humans regarding their own training. It preserves the coarseness, humor, and candor that have become Rip's trademark style."--P. [4] of cover.
