Book Reviews of Practical Programming for Strength Training
Book Review: A Better Way: Get Big, Get 1940s Big
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a well written reference for the strength coach, rather than a practical manual for the trainee. [Of the two versions, the first edition is much better because it is shorter, smaller and it has the Basic Strength Standards (pp. 271-276), which have been deleted from the second edition. I was Sooooooo disappointed by that!]
incidentally, neither edition has a bibliography or further reading list.
But for me, there is a better way. If you want to gain brawn and might, then read the 1940s issues of such bodybuilding magazines as Peary Rader's "IronMan" and Bob Hoffman's "Strength & Health". The decade 1941-1950 truly was the golden era of Physical Culture: John Grimek (Mr America 1940/1941), Steve Reeves (Mr America 1947), Reg Park (Mr Britain 1949) to name but three.
It's all been downhill since then. In the mid-1950s, trainees started taking anabolics and the strength training programs from that time and onwards are unwittingly tainted and skewed by that.
Instead, read the 1940s muscle mags and "Get Big, Get 1940s Big".
Summary of Practical Programming for Strength Training
Practical Programming offers a different approach to exercise programming. Based on a combined 70+ 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, psychology, and common sense. 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 science, and presents new training models that actually work for athletes at all levels of experience. Complete with new, innovative graphical representation of cutting edge concepts in exercise programming, Practical Programming has become a standard reference in the field of exercise and human performance.Bodybuilding & Weight Training Books
