Strength is another aspect of fitness that is important to the keen martial artist. After outlining muscle types, their structure and function within the body, Tony Gummerson describes ways to train for specific kinds of strength. He shows how to work out systems of sets and repetitions, and includes advice on safe procedures and progressive resistance exercises. He also describes how to improvize with inexpensive equipment, such as ropes and chairs, and how to use a partner's bodyweight instead of complicated gymnasium apparatus to achieve excellent results. There are examples of schedules and practices to suit the needs of any student at elementary, intermediate or advanced level.

A waste of time for anyone with common sense,

This review is from: Strength Training for the Martial Arts (Paperback)
I would expect a book on Strength training to have some obvious information (Squats for leg strength). I would expect a Martial Arts book to at least address some of the issues that Martial Artist have about Strength Training. This book has alot of the former and none of the latter. The "chapter" (two pages)on designing your routine went against everything I have ever read on training, for instance working your abs out before your legs. Overall the book is of little use to an intermediate Martial Artist and certainly a danger to begginers.
