Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: not bad Comment: As with most of the books that I have read on advanced weightlifting programs, the book is heavy on theory and low on examples. The author gives some general and somewhat confusing parameters on how to design a program and then fails to give a full body workout. The book even states that working the body as one unit is the way to go, but then only gives examples on specific exercises like the push press or squat. Its well written and one can tell the author is extrememly knowledgeable. I just dont understand why he didnt give a full body workout example for beginner, intermediate, and advanced lifters. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent for Programming Comment: This book gets 5 stars because it focuses precisely on Programming. You can see by the other user reviews that this is an excellent book. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Comment: You want to make the most of your training? Tried of making no gains? Get this book, read it, shut the hell up and implement what is in this book! Customer Rating: Summary: Get this book. This book, along with Starting Strength is a must have for anyone who cares about weight lifting. Comment: This book is essential to your training library. It, with Starting Strenth should provide all the information that anyone would ever need in regard to weight training. It does not have a bunch of references, but that does not mean this book is not reputable. This book simply does not need many outside references because Rippetoe and Kilgore ARE those references. Their credentials are impeccable and it would "behoove" anyone who wants to weight train CORRECTLY to take their advice. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Comment: Along with Starting Strength (Rippetoe), this book is one of the best books you can read if you want to learn about strength training. Rippetoe and Kilgore combine science, 25+ years of experience, and common sense to write one of the best books on strength training that you can own -- regardless of you're current skill level. Highly recommended. Best of the best. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Practical Programming offers a different approach to exercise programming than that typically found in other exercise texts. Based on a combined 60+ 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, sports psychology, and common sense. Contrary to the one-size-fits-all models of periodization offered elsewhere, 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 exercise science, and presents new training models that actually work for athletes at all levels of experience. Complete with new, innovative graphical representations of cutting-edge concepts in exercise programming, Practical Programming is sure to become a standard reference in the field of exercise and human performance.
