Practical Programming for Strength Training
Another great publication! I completed reading this yesterday and this is another high quality work from the makers of Starting Strength Basic Barbell Training. This has all you need to plan your training from beginner through to advanced and also to continue at the advanced level. My opinion is that this is a very valuable educational tool written in an easy to understand style, you don't need a degree to make sense of it. My advice to you is to buy Starting Strength AND this book! Read and understand them and use them for reference when required.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book which gives a great amount of depth on many topics relevant to the programming of strength training.
This includes specific sections detailing how to programme for a novice, intermediate or advanced lifter and also for some specialities such as training for strongman competition.
The book is not a collection of routines like you might expect from a bodybuilding magazine, rather it is a resource which enables the reader to work out how to tweak their own programming using the models contained as a basis for this and the information throughout the rest of the book to inform the tweaking process. The idea is that the reader understand how programming works so that they will be able to make their own informed decisions.
I personally think this book partnered with Starting Strength is a formidable combination that can see the strength trainee through many years. I also believe that it is wise to read other books as well and maybe other programmes you may find will be more to your preference but Practical Programming for Strength training will still prove very useful as it will have given you knowledge that can enable you to understand and modify those other programmes.
This book is practical but also can form an important keystone as a reference for your wider reading.
Just buy it.

This book is nowhere near as useful as Starting Strength. The authors try to say too much at once in too great a generality and end up saying hardly anything. It would have been much more useful if the authors simply described a collection of case studies from their experience, giving a description of the trainees' capacity, their beginning poundages, the program the coach suggested, the subsequent increases in poundage as the trainees progressed, the modifications that were suggested when the trainees got stuck, etc. Those case studies could then be enhanced by some general comments.
As it is, the book is closer to a wordy mess than to a useful handbook. Pity, as Rippletoe is clearly a sensible and pragmatic man.
