Editorial Reviews
Review
I have found your book to be exceptionally useful. I followed the programs outlined by your book and broke my competition best throw by a foot in my next completion. At this time I am recovering from an injury and have found your book's programs to be very helpful in my rehabilitation. I have also been impressed with the free charts available online. Tracking my progress has proved to be very motivating during my training. Thanks SportsWorkout! --Ray J, Masters Division, Silver Medalist at Virginia Commonwealth Games - 11th place national ranking - Qualifier for the National State Games
Your book has helped me improve immensely throughout my high school track and field years. In my freshman year I placed 8th in my State Championship meet. In that year I had no experience with weight training whatsoever. During my sophomore year after using your book and following the different programs for pre and off-season, I improved my place from 8th to 2nd. --Jen A, State & National finisher
