Book Reviews of The Conditioning Handbook: Getting in Top Shape
Book Review: One of the best books on conditioning
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good book. It will help you get conditioned to the max. The book is about a balance of both functional strength AND endurance. It is therefore a useful reference to almost any athlete or person. If you're a big, powerful, lifter it will help you get conditioned so that you aren't so easily winded and low on endurance. If you aren't strong it will make you much stronger, without losing flexibility or getting "inflated" muscles. It gives tons of methods as well as training plans, details and examples to help you apply what you read. The chapters give lots of variety and there's 1 or 2 on nutrition that are very useful too. This would also be an outstanding book for those involved in MMA or Strongman, giving MMA fighter the perfect combination of real world strength and endurance for maximum performance in the cage and giving the amateur to intermediate strongman the conditioning needed to complete a competition plus helps get rid of the imbalances that may occur with conventional training. The book covers too many topics to list; it isn't just a list of cool exercises. It gets into the science too. There is an incredible amount of information within this book, and it is a legitimate, quality book that you will not outgrow. Pick it up and become a well-rounded, conditioned athlete, ready for almost any physical endeaver.
