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!

I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in improving their fencing. Now that my fitness has improved, so has my agility and my athleticism. This is a great book and it has really helped me!

What a masterpiece! This is the number one book for all fencing enthusiasts. This book helped me with both strength and agility and it can help you too. Don't miss out on this gem of a book, I'll guarantee it helps you in your matches.

This is the best book I've found on this subject and is tailor-made for exactly what fencers need! I would definitely recommend this book without hesitation! It's a steal!
