See
also Maximize Your Training
- similar type of book, but containing totally contrasting training methodology.
This
a a huge book - full of charts and graphs. It's not an easy read. It's something
you need serious study time on. Hence
the delay in review! Cool: - Cheap!
- A
good intro into many training methods
Uncool: - Long
hard slog
- Expect
minimal gains
- Only
brushes on each topic (which is only to be expected in this type of book)
Summary: For
those of us that train recreationally then this book is as useful as chocolate
underpants, I mean, teapots and nowhere near as interesting. For elite athletes
looking for the edge over the competition, then maybe it's a place to start.
However this book is best for sport academics, coaches and exercise nerds.
