Practical Programming for Strength Training

I would read the companion first as it definitively defines the exercises this volume explains what to do with. This volume has the details to help you plan your training programme. Actually - my coach does the programming for me - but reading this makes me a more informed customer and now we can really fine tune my programme together. It is also a really interesting read in itself. The explanations of what is happening when you lift heavy stuff in the right order is very clear and having read it, I wonder why I have spent my entire life not understanding such important things. As well as being strong, the Author has strong opinions too - and I would say he is right. On one level his rants at the various fools not understanding his method are a little grating and if he wants to pile in with supporting scientific facts (as he does) he really should quote his references, as in this presentation we are really only left with his opinion - that we must trust. On the other hand, it is quite amusing and self evidentially he is correct in his main assertions. Despite my pedantic observations, this has to be the definitive text on how to programme your cunning plan to get strong. Best self help book I have read since Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (which doesn't have decent references either).

This was the Most interesting Training manual FOR Athletes who COMPETE at a Hier level in Sport. It describes The "Stress - Recovery - Adaptation Cycles" in an Athlete development phases.
