I pride myself in reading quite a bit. And I’ll read just about any type of book: Motivational, psychological, business, training, I don’t care. If it’s good, I’ll read it.
With that being said, this is the single best training book I’ve read this year. I would say it’s THE BEST book I’ve read all year, but Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell is simply fantastic. Regardless, don’t let that take anything away from Never Let Go, there’s something in this book for everyone.
While I’m still relatively young and new to the game, I’d like to think I’ve read more than the average gym-goer. And this book reminds me of some of the throwbacks – it’s eerily reminiscent of John McCallum’s “Keys to Progress”, in the fact that it’s brutally simple, honest and to the point.
If you’ve just gotten started in the iron game, save yourself some time and pick up a copy today. You’ll waste a lot less time, and get a lot better start, than most of us did.
If you’re a season vet, pick up a copy today. You’ll be reminded of what really works, and be thoroughly entertained a long the way. Dan’s storytelling has a tendency to suck you in.
After reading textbooks and journals for months on end, it’s refreshing to read something training related that not only gives great take home points, but is actually fun to read as well.
If you haven’t already, pick up a copy today. You won’t regret it.
Stay strong
