Heave ho 13 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
The man in my life was impressed by this. Its very technical and a bit dull looking once you get past the cover. But he is serious about his weight training and thought it was an excellent guide. I suppose we will see in the new year when we ski!!!!!

Disappointing 30 Mar 2009
By Michael Weinstein - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Disappointing

When the Soviets tested potential ski racers the key desirable capability they were looking for was leg strength (60%) with specific focus on explosive power (plyometrics). The remaining attributes tested for were skeletal alignment (posture), flexibility, balance, reaction speed, and range of movement from center core through the hips, knees and feet (joints) - with special attention paid to range of dorsa flexion.

BTW neither the Soviets nor anybody else cares about upper body strength other than how it might be tweaked to improve posture or overly trained which might negatively affect flexibility.

So you would think a book so targeted to weight training for skiers would focus on lower body strength with special emphasis on enhancing both flexibility and range of motion. And would most certainly reference the bio mechanics required to be a good skier. "The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training" ignores all these frames.

Rather it is a standard rehash for a general strength program - it might as well been written and targeted for badminton players and weekend anything.
