About the Book
Few activities provide more benefit for health, performance and well being than weight training. Whether the goal is bodybuilding or physique training, powerlifting or strength training, or weightlifting and power development, weight training offers many strategies for success.
As an educator and coach of over 20 years, I have always had an earnest desire to communicate the foundational knowledge of weight training programming in order to maximize the positive output that weight training can provide. This book serves as the background in human physiology and training theory and then takes the “science” of training and explores the application of that information. Arranged in a layered approach, initially an understanding of volume, intensity and rest period are established. Then the many set and repetition strategies are presented with the commiserate goals they might address in a bodybuilding or strength training plan. Additional discussions of tapering, deloads, training plan development from cycle to cycle (weeks to months) and periodization are present.
While not a textbook, the aim of the book is to indeed be a foundational resource for anyone that utilizes weight training; from the coach, personal training or barbell enthusiast.
