Before We Go: An Ongoing Philosophy of Lifting, Living, and Learning
Summary
Imagine this (go ahead, it's an easy one): You're bored with your workouts. Nothing's changing; you're not getting stronger or leaner or feeling better, and, heck, maybe you'll just take a layoff and see what happens.
You know what happens. That two-week layoff lasts a year, that's what happens!
Now consider this: Traffic was light and you're 15 minutes early for your dental cleaning appointment. You flip open your device and bring up your new copy of Before We Go. By the time the dental tech calls you, you've heard two chapters and are amped to get to the gym. Your mind is racing through the appointment, and it's all you can do to stay in that squeaky lounge chair.
You get to the gym an hour later and sail through the best workout you've had in months, maybe years. That's what this book can do for you.
Dan John's Before We Go will spur your training to that exciting level you love.
Following the pattern set by his earlier book Never Let Go, Before We Go is the second compilation of Dan's best articles previously published online.

Iron in My Hands
Summary
Just when you think you've heard all there is to hear about lifting weights and building muscle, along comes another 80,000 words echoing in the corners and hallways of the muscle-head gym: schemes, routines, hints, and tips with the intent to inform, encourage, and entertain. The immediate message: See iron, lift iron. The ultimate message: Train hard, eat right, and be happy. Don't you just love simple? It's one of the main reasons I chose the sport. No pitcher, no quarterback, no foul ball, and no meddlesome referee. Just you and the iron and the rhythmic sounds of action, the grunts and groans and clanks and thuds. You are your partner, your team, your biggest competitor, and your best fan; muscle and might are your favorite goals, with a good pump and burn to accompany you along the way. And none of it happens without moving a ton of weights, forging countless sets and reps, enduring a pile of aches, and maybe some pain - and amassing a stack of stories to tell. And speaking of stacks of stories to tell, pull up a bench and I'll tell you a few.
