5.0 out of 5 stars FOR GOD'S SAKE, GET THIS!, December 24, 2004

By	enuffodis "enuffodis" (SF) - See all my reviews

I have seen this book available online elsewhere, in a 2004 edition (!), so really, there is no excuse for you not having this.

Honestly, by the time I got to page 10, I'd already had many of my assumptions about health and strength challenged.
Dr. Siff seems to have a much greater appreciation for the contributions to health made by real strength training as opposed to cardiovascular fitness, which is basically heresay here in the USA. The man says:

"...the proliferation of weight training facilities and personal trainers still has much more to do with commercialsim than the impact of strength science, as is emphasized by the fact that the CARDIOVASCULAR DOCTRINE [emphasis added] still dominates the fitness conscious psyche..."

This book is a goldmine, loaded with a constant stream of science-based information that is essential.

Before you read this, make sure you are ready to expand your knowledge base and dive in-depth into specifics as opposed to generalizations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Supertraining, September 10, 2008

By	mike woody (Pearl City, HI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is excellent, it has it all in here I am not suprised that Louie Simmons talks about this book and recommends reading it. The only suggestion I have is to order it from elitefts because they sell brand new copies for $50 bucks or less I got mine on sale from them for $35.
