Great book by 'Dr Squat', with a powerlifting approach., 24 Aug 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Power - A Scientific Approach: Advanced Muscle Building Techniques for Explosive Strength! (Paperback)
Another great book by 'Dr Squat', with a powerlifting approach. If you seek an understanding of how your muscles work and grow his books are a must. You do not have to have a Ph.D. to understand his writings. This book covers all types of training, with good and bad points, with solid information on the how and why. He is very well researched and experienced. This book is a must have for bodybuilders as well as powerlifters.NBAF 'best'.

For nearly everyone...., 10 May 2001

This review is from: Power - A Scientific Approach: Advanced Muscle Building Techniques for Explosive Strength! (Paperback)
Dr. Hatfield's book is fantastic. Although he goes into several topics at length, he then breaks them down into easier terms to understand. This book deals with a wide array of subjects, including: cycling (training periodization, not bicycling), nutritional advice, biochemistry information, and more. I highly recommend it. Even though it is at times lengthy, the overall amount of information presented within it is well worth the effort.

By Far The Best Book on Strength Training, 18 April 2010
By R. Ebeling - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Power - A Scientific Approach: Advanced Muscle Building Techniques for Explosive Strength! (Paperback)
I read this book more than 10 years ago when I was a senior high school. I'm reminded of it now after reading a wonderful book in the science area called Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond. Although the subject of these two books are completely unrelated (strength training & human history) they both use a scientific approach to answering tough questions that were previously answered using hear-say loosely based on superficial observations (ever hear of the strength shoe?). Dr. Hatfield like Dr. Diamond, takes great pains to back his findings in strength training with scientific data and trial and error observations with athletes. I could brag about the tremendous gains I experienced in my youth after applying some of Dr. Hatfield's principles. For example, I easily added 6 inches to my vertical leap within a years time after applying what Hatfield calls "Compensatory Acceleration" training. Instead, I'll just say that after reading this book, you'll have little need to read anything else on strength training.
