The information in this book is far more worth the dollar value. Mr. Douglas is a talented writer and extremely wise man. The book's focus is on correct lifting technique, with a few pages discussing program design. It is similiar to Muscle Mechanics by Everett Aaberg, but describes more excercises. It also debunks many resistance training myths and explores the use of high-risk exercises and their appropriateness. The "10-step any exercise drill" will help you choose the right exercises.I highly recommend this book to anyone who resistance trains, and wants to do it effectively, safely, and for many years to come. Check out his other books if you want expert advice on training.

This is a good book well laid out for, as the book says "EFFECTIVE STRENGTH TRAINING" As a LMT, we have to take 25 CEU's every two years. This was the book used in my CEU class, taught by a Physical Therapist. I recommend this book for Personal Trainers, Physical Therapist Assistant's, Massage Therapist, and other Body Workers in related field's that wants to educate, and give clients more for physically strengthening, balancing the body, and proper lifting techniques in your session.

It was a book I needed for a class-I recommend it for anyone that wants to start or improve there weight lifting program
