This is the only book that I have seen that gives you the science behind the process that is written to be understood. It allows you to create a road map for success over an extended period of time. You absolutely can create a physical, nutritional and mental plan no matter your skill level.

This is a great book if you have some knowledge of weight training and wish to "step up" a level. It's not just for professionals and certainly doesn't advocate the use of steroids.
Periodization (ie: to improve your performance, you can't train the same way all the time) is a really useful, and scientifically backed up, model to base your training on and this book is written by the "father" of periodisation: Tudor Bompa.

The individual exercise descriptions alone make this title worth purchasing. They are some of the best and most detailed I have come across and are accompanied by great photographs.
I'm certainly not a professional weight trainer but enjoy going to the gym and this is simply the best training book I have ever read.
