Practical Programming for Strength Training

Let me save you some time and money, this book advises you to squat, squat, squat, squat, squat, squat, squat, squat, ad infinitum,,,, If you are a professional football player, or sumo wrestler I recommend this book.

Des variables basiques lors des séances (choix d'exercice, répétitions, récupération, ...) à la programmation de ces séances en fonction du niveau d'avancement de chacun (novice, intermédiaire, avancé), ce livre couvre toutes les bases de la musculation (en dehors de la technique d'exécution des exercices, vue dans le livre Starting Strength 3ème édition)

Molto utile. Pie o di suggerimenti e pratiche di esercizi

El libro presenta de forma clara los conceptos necesarios para desarrollar un programa de entrenamiento de fuerza que permita avanzar desde una situación de falta de entrenamiento a conseguiruna buena forma física. Lo he utilizado para planificar mis entrenamientos desde comienzos del mes de septiembre y estoy viendo más evolución que en años anteriores. El libro es realmente recomendable, aunque gana enteros combinado con Starting Strength, otro libro del mismo autor en que se describen los movimientos básicos que desarrolla en este libro.

O livro é bem didático e muito completo!!! Você consegue facilmente navegar pelos capítulos e encontrar com rapidez o que procura

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).
