Practical Programming for Strength Training

Practical Programming offers a different approach to exercise programming. Based on a combined 70+ years of academic expertise, elite-level coaching experience, and the observation of thousands of novice trainees, the authors present a chronological analysis of the response to exercise as it varies through the training history of the athlete, one that reflects the realities of human physiology, psychology, and common sense. Practical Programming explains the differences in response to exercise commonly observed between athletes at the novice, intermediate, and advanced levels, explains these differences in the context of the relevant science, and presents new training models that actually work for athletes at all levels of experience. Complete with new, innovative graphical representation of cutting edge concepts in exercise programming, Practical Programming has become a standard reference in the field of exercise and human performance.

This has been a fantastic book. I coach cyclists for the Velodorme, and it has been nothing but helpful in bringing up the power output in riders and having them pull out some better numbers on the track.

I recommend this book to anyone who has been having trouble in getting anyone over the line in any sport that requires power, strength, or a combination of both.

Very practical training book

Rating 5/5 Stars.

I read the first Mark Rippetoe book, "Starting Strength" and I was amazed at how detailed all the information about every type of recommended exercises was. "Practical programming" has the same amount of detail, but this time geared towards the planning part of training.

It has everything from proper rest, nutrition to specific training programs depending on how advanced you are. It's a really good read...

Better investment then gold!

For two years I've been doing different routines and searching countless hours on the net for the "right" routine. I've spent hours trying to come up with my own. I've made progress, but wonder how much more I could have made if I would have just started with this. I was smart and bought Starting Strength months back (I then learned how to do the exercises)but didn't think I needed this. I was wrong. Now after two years of lifting I'm starting over.

But now I no longer n [...read more]
