Quote of the day

"Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general."

Don't know who said it officially, but the website where I first saw it attributed the quote to an athletic entrepreneur named Mark Rippetoe.

That is indeed from the incomparable Mark Rippetoe, author of Starting Strength, the best book out there on barbell training. The quote is from his collection of essays titled Strong Enough. See www.startingstrength.com.
