Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"As I read this book, I was amazed at how simple it was to follow; even the most minute details were explained very clearly. Bruno sets up a total year-round training program, and all you have to do is follow along. This program can be used by anyone in high school, college, or professional basketball. The only thing the participant has to give is effort."
Mike Arndt, CSCS Iowa Basketball Strength Coach University of Iowa
"This book would be a welcome addition to any coach's library."
William H. Montgomery, MEd Strength Director Indiana University

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best strength training guide!,
By
This review is from: Strength Training for Basketball (Paperback)
This book is the best and easiest to follow book on strength training I have ever used. It was referred to me by my certified strength training coach. Not only for basketball but for any sports program and especially for young people getting started. Careful guidance on how to begin, how to set up your own program, and how to adjust the program as needed. Very straightforward and well-written. The basics have never been so well presented...and these basics will have profound and safe results for anyone who follows the program as presented. Absolutely excellent!

Must have for basketball strength training,
By
This review is from: Strength Training for Basketball (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for strength training. The book gives you a 12 month program that lays out the exercises and amount of weight to use every day. The amount of weight is determined by testing that is part of the program. The program is 4 different phases..offseason 1, offseason 2, pre-season, and season. My high school age son has been using the program from the book for only 5 weeks and I can already see the results.
