Serious, but what?
Every page is packed with "information," and page after page strung together in a style that's extremely difficult to follow and digest, much less apply to tomorrow's workout. There are a couple pretty good basic concepts, but it doesn't take a whole book to explain that over the course of a year one should vary the types of workouts performed. The charts for the various workout designs may be helpful for some people, but there's just too many of them, and ultimately you'll design your own. I agree with other reviewers that it's a bodybuilding book, not a strength book. The proof of course is in the photographs. I'm just an ordinary citizen looking to get serious about strength as a component of my overall fitness, and this book isn't helpful. A bodybuilder might find this a helpful companion book, going a couple pages at a time. On that basis I'd give it three stars, except for the wrong title and the photographs of starved women.
Right on target
I have read two more Bomba's books, i implemented his principals to the training of our young cyclists. It boosted their performance, their selfconfidence and the will to keep training. I trust mr. Bompa, that's why i bought and allready read this book. It is as i expected to be. Pure science, busting many bodybuilding's myths and showing the only way to develop a marvelous physique. Greetings from Greece.
Serious Strength Training
This book provides the road to travel for anyone who wants to be successful in training.As a former competitive power-lifter in the early 1980's,this book includes much lost knowledge from that training era.It's a very intense book and will make you strong for life.The routines are old school and not for the faint of heart,however the strength gained will not be lost.Good luck and may the force be with you.
