Book Reviews of Practical Programming for Strength Training

Book Review: A long time coming.....
Summary: 5 Stars

I only wish that this book and Starting Strength by the same authors, had been available when I was in HS 30 years ago. Forget all other so called weight-training, bodybuilding, fitness craze books. This is the one to have if you are looking for workouts that make sense and work! I look forward to using the information to help train my kids for football and other sports.

Summary of Practical Programming for Strength Training

Practical Programming offers a different approach to exercise programming than that typically found in other exercise texts. Based on a combined 60+ years of academic expertise, elite-level coaching experience, and the observation of thousands of novice trainees, the authors present a chronological analysis of the response to exercise as it varies through the training history of the athlete, one that reflects the realities of human physiology, sports psychology, and common sense. Contrary to the one-size-fits-all models of periodization offered elsewhere, Practical Programming explains the differences in response to exercise commonly observed between athletes at the novice, intermediate, and advanced levels, explains these differences in the context of the relevant exercise science, and presents new training models that actually work for athletes at all levels of experience. Complete with new, innovative graphical representations of cutting-edge concepts in exercise programming, Practical Programming is sure to become a standard reference in the field of exercise and human performance.
