Book Reviews of Strength Training For Fencers
Book Review: For All Athletes
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this book is geared specifically for fencers (and brother, could fencers ever use guidance in this area!), it is useful for all athletes. The author has been involved in fencing as a competitor and coach for +30 years, and has researched his topic thoroughly. Strength is a crucial component to athletic performance, and should be maximized by any competitor to maximize his/her abilities. But strength is so much more than just big muscles--and that's where this book becomes essential. Author Harry James explains the complex components of usable, athletic strength clearly and concisely. Then he tells you how to increase your strength and apply it to your athletic performance. The main part of the book explains the author's program for strength training--which features detailed explanations and photographic demonstrations of the exercises. James divides the program into four phases--separate, integrate, accelerate, incorporate. This phasing of strength building progresses from basic strength exercises (separate) to creating chains of usable physical power (integrate) to uniting power with speed (accelerate) to making your newly acquired strength impact your game (incorporate). The intelligent and nuanced approach is miles ahead of any other book on strength training I have ever encountered. Imagine embarking on a strength training program like this for a year and then surprising your opponents with your new level of performance! Incorporating strength training into your sports regimen can help you catapult ahead of fellow athletes you have always lagged behind before. Every serious fencer and fencing coach should own this book, study it, and incorporate its tenets. All athletes of any sport should do so as well.
Summary of Strength Training For Fencers
The first - and only - book written by a fencer for fencers, this book takes you through every step of the strength training process from the core to each of the muscle groups, and from static to dynamic and balance-challenging exercises. It's a must for the library of every serious fencer. Harry James is a certified fitness trainer, a fencer, and the long-time fencing coach at Somerville High School in New Jersey. The book is profusely illustrated to clarify each stage of each exercise.Bodybuilding & Weight Training Books
