Review

I recently started working out using your book. I've always been into fitness and strength training but I'd never workout using a program or guide. This is my second season doing triathlons and I wanted to incorporate strength training into my routine. Your book had exactly what I needed by helping me increase my speed and endurance. I love it! I'm seeing major differences, AND I feel a lot stronger. Thanks! I've finished every race I've entered :) I'm happy in the mid pack, but ready to take it to the next level. --Alicia F

This is an easy to use book that helps you organize your own routines so that it would take years for you to become stagnate in weight lifting. The pictures of form are helpful and descriptive. I would recommend this book for any triathlete.

1.0 out of 5 stars Should be called the Ultimate Let Down, March 23, 2009

This review is from: Ultimate Guide To Weight Training For Triathlon (Paperback)

I have been weight training since I was 15. This book just lists basic weight training exercises every weight trainer does. I found nothing and I mean nothing new or different that is specific for a triathlete. Its just a weight training book with a triathlete sticker slapped on the front. Dont' waste your money Google is better.

Any basic triathlon book will give you weight training ideas as good as these. Google is probably better.
