Product Description

For decades, the conventional measure of an individual's strength was the amount of weight he could bench press. Now, that measure is being challenged by expert trainers like Robert dos Remedios who argue that the variety of movement patterns used in functional training is the real key to getting bigger, stronger, and more powerful. In "Men's Health Book of Strength", this acclaimed collegiate strength and conditioning coach describes in detail the methods he has used to develop hundreds of Division I scholarship athletes, including several current NFL players.The key features that make this book a standout in the fitness field include: exercises geared toward functional strength that can be utilized in real-world situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture; training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective; compound, multijoint exercises that replace the less-effective isolation exercises found in many fitness books; and, no-nonsense dietary information utilizing a new and innovative food pyramid developed by the UCLA Centre for Human Nutrition that will optimize strength gains, recovery, and physical progress.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best in class, 4 April 2008

By	Thomas Jensen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Being an athlete for many years, I've spent my fair share of time in the gym. I've also read quite a few books on weight training, and I can say that hands-down, this is one of the best I've read.

Dos Remedios' approach is based on years of training real-world athletes (not bodybuilders or movie stars). What does that mean? It means that these training programs are all about performance. Looking good is just a (happy) by-product.

Instead of doing what most books do, just hand you X number of weeks worth of programs for you to follow, this book actually teaches you be your own trainer. From the differences between power training and hypertrophy, from warm up to cardio, variation programs, on-the-road training, 15 minute variations of the workouts, it has it all to fit you lifestyle. This is THE book if you're looking to learn how to put together your own training program for strength, fitness, athletic performance and looks. SO worth the cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Book on Athletic Conditioning, 9 May 2008

By	Mr. A. Gifford "Readers are Leaders" (Stoke, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's a shame I can only give this book 5 stars, it deserves 20. Look!! if you want a body to be proud of, forget bodybuilding split routines, buy, read, absorb and use the principles in this book. No matter if you want to bulk up, lean down or get stronger, there is a workout protocol in this book for you.Best of all the workouts are @30-45 minutes long.Don't be fooled though, you wil work your butt off in that time.I wish this had been around 30 years ago when I first started training, it would have saved me a lot of pain and frustration.Eight pounds and forty four pence is a ridiculous price for this.I'd pay 30 - 40 times that for the information in this gem, in fact over the years, with all the training books I've bought- I probably have.Burn this on your brain "Form follows Function". In other words if you train for function-eg getting stronger for sport,-as a by product of that training you will look better too. This is a guide to achieving your fitness goals, buy it, do the workouts and see for yourselves.You will not be dissappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read, excellent resource for experienced gym-goers, 4 Feb 2009

By	Mike-Notts (Nottingham) - See all my reviews

I bought this book just before Christmas and have been following it pretty closely ever since. I'm currently following the hypertrophy program. I'm starting to notice good progress, and am definitely getting more comfortable with the routines. The best part of this program is the variety - the workouts are different each time, though structure so as to give a balanced physique. The focus on exercises requiring fundamental core stability, balance etc. is also excellent. I'm finding the workouts challenging but not too much that they are daunting, and am motivated to get up first thing every morning to get down the gym. I would note that I have always made sure to do complex moves (e.g. squats, deadlifts, etc.) and hate machines - and I think this helps when tackling some of the more complex moves in the book. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this program to complete beginners - although they could adopt some of the more straightforward exercises in their first pass through. The only other criticism is that there is occasional inconsistency between the illustrated exercises and those referred to in the programs. Overall I'd say this is the best training book I've come across though.
