Book Reviews of Strength Training for Triathletes
Book Review: Exceeds It's Mission.
Summary: 5 Stars
Looking for a book that tackles strength training for the triathlon sport? So many books wax poetic about esoteric things that pollute the point. How many times can a person read about the competitor that made this mistake or that sweet move at a race event? Maybe once? Some athletes are not looking for motivation or to attain some higher level of consciousness. Some of us just want the simple, straight-forward explanation.
This book exceeds that mission. It presents a method to think about what level of triathlon competition is desired. Then it provides the information that agrees with those levels. Additionally, it addresses a mindset about how to construct strength training regimens with volumes that make sense. Hagerman provides the tools to assess your needs and apply what is necessary to achieve those goals in a concise way.
The exercises provided by Hagerman, steer the reader toward the goal of enhancing those muscles that are needed for triathlons. He also gives tips on how to adapt normal routines and exercises to those a triathlete would need.
Finally, Hagerman provides a healthy philosophy on how to make performance increases on a timely basis. Ultimately, triathletes would like to peak at a certain time of the year. If they are careless, they could be fatigued when it is time to race. Not advisable.
This book is an easy read. However, don't underestimate it's usefulness.
Summary of Strength Training for Triathletes
Most traditional weight lifting programs are too general to benefit triathletes. This illustrated guide offers 60 exercises that build strength for swimming, biking, and running by replicating the muscle usage patterns specific to triathlon events. The exercises are organized by sport and muscle group, allowing triathletes to quickly find the best exercise for their unique training needs. Included are sample seasonal plans for each race distance, along with instructions on adapting training plans to individual needs that make it easy to develop a personal strength training program.
