Review

I just wanted to write you and give a big thank you for helping me achieve my goals. After only a couple weeks of using your book I have seen results. As soon as I started, I realized how perfect this book was for me not to mention the free e-charts that came along with it. I love the very detailed descriptions of all the exercises and how it explains how to do every one of them. Thanks again for the great book. --Nick S.

Your book is terrific! The book has helped our entire athletic program rise to the tops in the state. It also personally helped my son go from scrawny freshman to the starting power forward on his basketball team. I am the high school athletic director at a 1A school and in large part thanks to your book, we won the 1A state basketball championship in three out of the last four years and lost in the finals the year we didn t win it. Thanks so much! --Tom G.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat misleading title., December 5, 2010

This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Fencing (Ultimate Guide to Weight Training: Fencing) (Paperback)

The content of this book is fine for a general introduction to weightlifting. However, it is not focused on the fencer as the title leads one to believe. From my experience as a physician, a competitive athlete and the perspective of our physical therapist who also read the book this is a good general treatise on weight lifting, but it is not customized to the sport of fencing. Some exercises, while they will build bulk, as the model demonstrates, can actually be counterproductive to the movements of fencing.

The book has decent recommendations, but a little too "cookie cutter". That is, if you take away the cover and some words in the text, it could be a routine for almost any other sport.

I first found out about this series of book when I purchased the WeighTraining for Football book for my son. I was pleased to see that there was one for fencing. As an avid recreational and competitive fencer, I found that this book made serious suggestions that a true student of fencing should follow!
