5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book., December 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Periodization of Strength: The New Wave in Strength Training (Paperback)

This book is probably more suited for people with some background in strength and conditioning. The author assumes that the reader grasps certain concepts. It is the most complete, clear and specific book I have ever read in regards to periodization, which is arguably the most important phase of strength and conditioning. I strongly recommend this book for anyone looking to be an expert in the field.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Science of Strength and Power, August 26, 2000

This review is from: Periodization of Strength: The New Wave in Strength Training (Paperback)

This book is the best and most precise book on the science of Strength training I have ever read. I borrowed it from the library of my University Library, read it cover to cover more than once, and now I need to own it. It is at times difficult to understand but it does on the other hand present detailed information on the differences of numerous techniqes and methods of planning and strength training methodology. Anyone involved in sports specific training needs to own this book.

This book is great for all coaches of any sport. It brings sport specific conditioning to a whole new level of training. No college coach can be complete without someone on your staff understanding the material in this book. It'll make a good coach great and a great coach even better.
