Soul of a Lifter is so IMPACTFUL that I think I have made notes on 40% of the book. It’s like a course for life. I will have to read it again, this time without pen and notepad in hand. How DID you get in my head?! my favourite chapter was about the flour mill… if it’s possible to have a favourite. I have many.

I love your colourful and passionate descriptions of everything that happens in the life and soul of a lifter! I feel like I am having a crazy training session WHILE I am reading your book!
You have great analogies throughout your book. I like how you compare training, diet, passion, reps, and everything else in lifting to a strong chain. They must all be linked together properly or the chain is weak.
Your book reminds me of looking through a kaleidoscope in a way. It is very complicated and intricate and can even look a little fragmented, but if you have the soul of a lifter and can see the pattern and overall picture it is powerful, beautiful and rewarding!

I had just started another book, but slowly found myself finding excuses to put it down and pick up Gino’s. I will say it is so rare I read a book more than once. In fact I can tell you the 2 other times I have, it was Catch-22 and the Grapes of Wrath. So needless to say, Soul of a Lifter is in fairly esteemed company.

Just letting you know that the book has hit the nail on the head. My weightlifting coach, Bob Walt loves it. He owns The Apollo Barbell Club, the oldest Olympic weightlifting club in Canada and has quotes from the book up all over the gym. Bob holds the Canadian Masters records in 3 different weight classes as well as 3 different age groups. He was very impressed with the book … and he is not a guy that impresses easily. After reading Soul of a Lifter he started lifting competitively again and qualified for the Pan Am games.

I work out on my own at my high school gym. Gino’s book has forced me to complete extra reps at the end of my sets. It’s like an invisible workout partner, an excellent motivator. His discussions about working through the pain and not leaving reps out there are amazing for me.
