Under the Bar

by Dave Tate

The book is not about training, but it is. This book was not written about business but it was. This book was not compiled to help you better your relationships, but it could be. This book was not written as a road map to help you achieve your goals, but it ended up that way. This book was written to show you that you already have all you need to achieve success in anything you choose to do. You just need to know where to look.

Reviews

[Casan Scott]

Motivating!

I enjoyed it a lot. It's a quick hitting reminder to pursue your goals with passion, discipline, and personal responsibility.

[MKO]

Nice little pep talk.

[Joe Bendewald]

I enjoyed how the author breaks down complex topics on life and brings them into a new perspective

[Trey Stone]

I read this because of my interest in the sport of powerlifting, but even if you've never have any desire to get into that - or any other sport for that matter - there are a lot of life lessons and thoughts in this book that I think would be valuable to almost anyone. Dave Tate has lived a dedicated and focused life, not without it's share of challenges, and I think everyone could learn from this.

good tips

Not a training book but more of a self help principles book. the info can be found in other books probably better organized but this has a strength training theme throughout which is a little different.

[Jory Kunzman]

Dave is a legend in the powerlifting world and EliteFTS is a great company. This book is a great read for any young lifter but got a little repetitive.
