Summary: Not for those with just a passing interest in training
Comment: This book is very scientific> If you are after some serious knowledge about the how and why of traing this is a must have book. If however you are just seeking some traing advice skip it. It goes pretty deep.
I had this sitting on my coffee table for a few months and it got a few people so hooked they had to buy it. Others just set it back down after a minute because it isn't a fast easy read.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Outdated
Comment: I would not recomend this book for people using it as an extra study resource I found it completely useless.

Summary: Fitness and Strength Training for All Sports
Comment: Outstanding book!! I have been looking a long time for a book that explains in detail the old soviet sports training techniques. Not only is this book detailed, it is written so that a novice can understand. This book explains Michael Yessis books in more detail. This is a must buy for anyone that wants to get in shape for a sport in the quickest and most efficient way.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Practical information, some cheesy exercises.
Comment: This book is full of the scientific explainations as to why and how muscle grows. It is presented in an easy-to-read manner. Charles Poliquin has recommended this book, and for good reason. Based on East German research, the science of weight training is a far cry from what Mentzer proposes! Set, rep, tempo and rest selection are all included. Probably the biggest faults are the diet and exercise chapters. Some of the exercises recommended have to be seen to be believed! All in all, a good addition to your home library.
