1.0 out of 5 stars Logbook???, August 26, 2000
By 
This review is from: Power Factor Training Logbook (Spiral-bound)
I have enjoyed reading the authors book, Power Factor Training and also their other three books specializing for specific bodyparts using the Power factor training method. However, this log book is a complete waste of time. The information about why the power index and other things is repeated in the beginning and the charts are organized in a haphazard way which makes me completely useless unless you are someone who hates to make your own chart and print it out for use, this book could be useful although it might not pack along well in a gym bag. Who can write in those small charts anyway, the print would have to be so small. The authors need to come out with something more useful than just a log book. Something which advances the Power Factor training routines and not just repeated information in every other book. Plus it would be beneficial if they would start updating their website!

4.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs up for the "P/F" Logbook, September 14, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Power Factor Training Logbook (Spiral-bound)
I really enjoy using the Power Factor Logbook! It is an excellent companion to the P/F book series. I enjoy the workout to workout feedback that I receive. In just a few workouts I knew what my optimal reptition range was for each of my body parts. I quickly learned that just attempting heavier weights did not always equal an optimal Power index. Sometimes lowering the weight and really banging out the reps was the key. Thank you to Mr. Little and Sisco. Keep showing us "sane" ways to train in this "Insane" world!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Useful, July 3, 2001

This review is from: Power Factor Training Logbook (Spiral-bound)
Please see my review of Power Factor Training (the book). I pointed out the power factor training program did not work for me.

This log is made to assist a person on the power factor program. It has the workout routines ( A and B) plus a host of specialized programs. In addition it has charts you can fill out to mark your progress. It also has an overview of power factor training that is nearly as informative as the books you can buy on the subject. From the point of view of inclusiveness the manual succeeds; however, from the point of view of usefullness it fails.

The manual has blocks that are too small to write in, and the charts are very small. The book needs to by 81/2 by 11 to write in well, or at least much larger than it is now. Sections could also be added for warm up, stretching and cool down as the authors recommend these need to be included in every workout routine.

My largest complaint is in the amount of pages devoted to the normal power factor program. After all the other material is considered the area for the normal power factor training routines A and B comprise about 1/3 of the book. Maybe less. The specialization routines take up a lot more of the book. Why include the specialized routines in this manual?

Thus the manual does not have enough space to write in easily, does not have enough pages for the normal power factor workouts, includes too many pages for the specialized routines, and does not include fundimental information in the pages used for the workouts.

All in all a substandard effort.
