Great information structure.
If you intend on becoming a personal trainer through NASM, don’t buy this book from anyone other than NASM BECAUSE NASM forces you to buy it anyways apart of your expenses. Great book.

great side purchase
I purchased the basic NASM package for the test and it didn't include the text book. I really like the book for it's usefulness, I can take notes and reference it whenever I need to. How NASM teaches strength and conditioning and their programming leaves a lot to be desired, but if you want to pass the test and get the cert you need to know it and this is a good way.

Perfect for study while obtaining the NASM certification
I bought this textbook online to have a hard copy. I purchased the certification package that was digital study materials only which saved me about $400 or $500 so this was a great add on to that.

Great for NASM training
So far has matched my online book through the program! I prefer to read from a hard cover book but didn’t want to pay the additional program cost through NASM to get it.

A great study aid for Sports Science...
Great book to support the study of Rehabilitation Science/Sports Science... a US text though as not many UK texts of this ilk (recommended reading text though). Also quite expensive, but a fantastic book with great pictorial illustration.

Will get me passed
Very pleasant to read. Sometimes I feel that the pages are so fragile that I will rip them when I turn page but after all, it's a book so what can you expect. Also a big fan of the few pages of buisness related content!

Fast Shipping. The corner of the book was damaged and looked a little banged up, but other than that good buy!

Great book very poor page quality
The book itself contains great information especially regarding the NASM qualifications however the quality of the book really lets itself down. The pages feel like they are likely to rip and must be handled with total care. The reason it only gets three stars is I don’t think this book will last to long even in the most careful of hands.

Useless
This book is a study guide only, it's only relevant if you have all the course literature and guides. I didn't so it is completely useless!
