Book Reviews of Practical Programming for Strength Training
Book Review: Great Book on Strength Training
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book about a year after buying Starting Strength (2nd edition). This book is a great no nonsense resource on training to gain strength. It is written very well, and you do not have to have a degree in Exercise Physiology to understand it. I like that he keeps the beginning and intermediate programs simple with only a few multi-joint exercises. This is the best way to work out in my opinion, especially for beginners (which a lot of people will fall under, even if training for years- check out the book for explanation). As an Exercise Science Master's Degree student, I have read many books dealing with exercise, and this is by far way ahead of what is available on the market today. It has something for all levels. I recommend any serious S&C Coaches, Athletic Trainers, Personal Trainers, hardcore trainer, weekend warrior or anything in between read this book. You will not be sorry I promise.
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
