5.0 out of 5 stars Bigger Faster Stronger, December 6, 2001
By 
Valrick A Welch (Saipan, MP United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bigger Faster Stronger (Hardcover)
My degree is in physical education and I have been teaching for 11 years. Shepard's Bigger Faster Stronger program is among the best I have found. The biggest benefits of this program are in sports requiring explosive strenth such as judo, wrestling, boxing, field events, and sprints.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for any high school or college athlete, June 12, 2000
By 
This review is from: Bigger Faster Stronger (Hardcover)
This is a great book for any athlete out there high school or college, it teaches great techniques for lifting and also gives great variations on the already well known core lifts. This book is not for the weak or undisciplined it should only be used by people that are willing to work hard and give everything you got to be the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars College Athlete Agrees, May 20, 2005
This review is from: Bigger Faster Stronger (Paperback)
I am a Division one track and field athlete. I have been looking for an out of season lifting program that will help make me stronger and faster. I was never a fan of these core lifts until I bought this book. The variation that is available really caught my attention. For example, the power clean has been an exercise that I refuse to do and this book offers many other options. Instead I perform a hang clean. So far, I think that this program will do nothing but improve my athletic ability.
