Very interesting to read but for the most part as a beginner doesn't really apply very much to you.
It's cheap and interesting buy it anyway.

I bought SS 2nd ed., as jim wendler said i must have it.

it was not worth my $.

getting Prac Prog. free would however, balance out the equation.

DOES the rapid shit for PP exist? or does noone progress past the beginner program in SS for this even to be pertinent?

picture, well, is apparently related...When in Rome...

If you're really a CSCS like the e-mail field suggests you are you'd probably be better off sticking to those MILO or NSCA journals and a bunch of graduate level medical textbooks on nutrition, the musculoskeletal, and so on and so forth.

I liked how exhaustive everything was in starting strength. That way I knew exactly what the fuck I was doing. What is practical programming about? Is it an intermediate thing or what? The best answer would be a rapidshit, but any information is nice.

Chapter 1 is a bunch of meta stuff about why the book is needed, the culture behind coaching and exercise physiologists, how the Soviets train and what we can learn from them, how much we know and how much is still an active area of research, etc
Chapter 2 is about overtraining, how hard and how much it takes to overtrain, precisely how much rest you need
Chapter 3 is about specific training goals and training in such and such way to achieve this and that goal (mass versus strength versus speed versus power versus endurance etc)
Chapter 4 is physiology as it directly relates to training. Actin, myosin, sarcomeric structure, the properties of type 1, type 2A, and type 2B muscle fibers, ATP, shit like that. Not exhaustive as it's just a chapter in a larger book but an excellent primer for somebody who's not a med student.

Chapter 5 is about designing your own workout program pretty much from scratch. Coming up with this or that many reps in whatever particular exercise order. I say you're better off following a well-known beginner's program as closely as you can but this is interesting stuff to know about anyway even if you don't apply it.
Chapters 6, 7, 8 are about training the novice, intermediate, and advanced weight lifter, respectively. How an untrained, relatively unfit beginner's body responds to training versus somebody who's already close to his genetic potential
Chapter 9 is special populations which to summarize: "Women should lift weights too. Kids? Yeah you better believe they should be lifting. Your grandma? Her too."

I say we commission /fit/ to put out a rapidshit of Starting Strength ED 2 and Practical Programming.

Circulate it enough and this will cut a lot of the lifting bullshit right out of the board. Plus make me very very happy.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, the Starting Strength floating around on the web is for the 1st Edition only. The 2nd edition and Practical Programming haven't been scanned - yet. Some guy on 99chan's /fit/ has all three of Rippetoe's books and is in the process of scanning/converting to pdf, but he needs help. I don't know how to link to 99chan, but the thread is on page 2 of /fit/, halfway down.

TL;DR - you want Practical Programming in pdf? If you know how to help, get your ass over to 99chan
