Iron On My Mind
by Dave Draper
Running weekly since early 1999, there are over 550 Draper columns — It was nearly impossible to narrow it down to the top 62 that would make the cut, but we think you’ll agree, these are the best!
Edit we did, and the best of the best remain, collected here in Iron On My Mind. When you’re heading for the gym and need a kick in the tail, Dave will be right there by your side. Grab your book, flip through a few pages and go!
In Dave’s preface, he writes, “Iron On My Mind is a collection of sixty-two newsletters from the 350 published over the years. Each chapter is a trip of its own. And throughout the book what I call blasts, bombardments of info, energy, caution and reprimand, are periodically inserted to affirm your purpose, aright your direction and challenge your performance. There is no theme, the articles follow no order. They can be ingested randomly when the spirit moves you, like a shot of wonder protein before a workout. Sip or slug, I hope they satisfy and you never grow full.”
