May he rest in peace. A great source of information.

Is his book "Inside Powerlifting" a worthwhile read?

[Mark Rippetoe]

It's history. Read it.

Now all I need to do is find a copy that doesn't cost 100 Freedom Money.

Very sorry to see this. Terry Todd was truly a giant in the area of strength sports and physical culture and probably did more than anyone else to promote the early growth of powerlifting and to preserve iron game history in general. Hopefully by Rip posting this, some of you guys who may be unfamiliar with him will spend some time reading up on him and his contributions to our field.

I ended up doing just that. I got some money back on taxes and invested more money than any sane person would on a used copy of Inside Powerlifting.
