Comprehensive Strength Training Book
I bought 2 other books on strength training but found them lacking–one focused mainly on squats, the other had beautiful photos but nothing about how often to train, how to tell whether you are injured or just sore, what your diet should be, etc. The Science of Strength Training has it all. The color photos show muscles, tendons, bones, etc. in detail. They also show how your muscles change with training, which muscles are worked on which exercise, and how to train for strength versus build. I like this book so much I also bought one for my sister and one for a friend. My fencing coach has also ordered one to help him work with his students. The book is not perfect, I think the section on diet focuses too much on carb, and there’s an error on page 9 (the pictures on endomorph and mesomorph body shape do not make sense to me. I think they should be switched). But these are minor problems for such a comprehensive book. Buy this one and chances are you won’t need to buy another.

Ich betreibe selbst seit mehreren Jahren Kraftsport und habe dieses Buch als Geschenk gekauft. Der Beschenkte ist sehr zufrieden mit dem Buch und lobt vor allem das nützliche Wissen, das verständlich vermittelt wurde. Bei dieser Gelegenheit habe ich selbst einmal einen Blick in das Buch werfen können: Die Inhalte entsprechen definitiv dem aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Stand und können Anfängern und Fortgeschrittenen dabei helfen, ihr Training zu optimieren. Vor allem die Details zur Anatomie können dabei überzeugen. Ob man sich für die englische oder die deutsche Version entscheidet, ist im Endeffekt Geschmacksache.

Un bon manuel (dommage pas de version française) qui m’aide à renforcer mes connaissances et aussi à pratiquer mon anglais.Facilement compréhensible car très peu de termes techniques.
