Great training resource!, October 18, 2004
This review is from: High-Intensity Training (Paperback)
Coach Philbin has done a tremendous job in putting together this fantastic training resource. The book is well written, has helpful pictures, and clearly explains the TRUTH behind the High Intensity Training system (H.I.T.); which in my experience is without a doubt the safest, most efficient and effective training methodology around. If you are at all involved in health, fitness, or strength & conditioning - this book is a must read! We have made sure our entire staff at Elite Athlete Training Systems (E.A.T.S.) has read this resource from cover to cover!

HIT is it!, October 19, 2004
This review is from: High-Intensity Training (Paperback)
This book teaches the High Intensity Training Philosphy- which is the best training methodology out there!
The book has been highly reviewed by these leading strength coaches:
Ken Mannie Strength Coach
Michigan State
"John Philbin has captured all of the fundamental elements of the High Intensity Training system, while adding a host of innovative, scientifically sound applications for one of the most comprehensive books ever written on the subject.
Philbin brings his experience as an Olympic-level and NFL strength/conditioning coach to an extremely well-written text on designing and implementing a year-round strength program for all sports, as well as for those merely interested in sound, highly-effective training.
Some highlights include chapters on Advanced Overload Techniques, Periodization Plans, Sport-Specific Programs, and Creating the Competitive Edge. The introductory chapter on A Brief History of Strength Training takes the reader on a guided tour of the genesis, growth, controversies, and development of modern day strength training. John's tips and recommendations for avoiding common pitfalls (e.g., "overtraining") are insightful and scientifically grounded.
This book is a must read for all strength training practitioners, regardless of preferred methodology, and will prove to be an outstanding resource and reference vehicle for many years to come."
AND from Dan Riley
Strength and conditioning coach, Houston Texans:
"High-Intensity Training is safe, time efficient, and compatible with the muscular needs of most athletes. In this outstanding resource, John Philbin teaches sound techniques to maximize results using HIT. Athletes, coaches, and the strength training community will benefit significantly from his advice and programs."

High - Intensity Training, October 18, 2004
This review is from: High-Intensity Training (Paperback)
This is not your typical book on "How to get Big Arms." This is a serious book about using HIT principles for training the Athlete. A must read for Coaches trying to learn about HIT as it applies to Sports Strength Training and Conditioning. It also shows how to use other methods along with "High Intensity" Training. It's an easy read without the usual "hype" found in most books about Strength Training. John Philbin is an experienced Strength Coach and Program Director and you can benefit by his experience.
