Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Track & Field

I had used the book in the past. The exercise regime is good as it allows you to interchange them from synergy to antagonist systems. Great range of exercises

I'm a collegiate track athlete, junior track coach, and fitness, performance, and sports sciences enthusiast. This book is clearly written and serves as a great how-to for coaches, parents, and aspiring track athletes. Definitely a recommended read!

Great book for beginners and coaches who aren’t as knowledgeable in the realm of weight training! The workouts and work out plans were easy to access and read through.

This book contains basic weight training exercises that can be applied to a variety of sports that involve the use of a variety of muscle groups.

The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Track & Field started off strong by averaging one glaring grammatical error per page for the first several pages. The editing was pretty much non-existent as the errors are incredibly obvious as I was able to find them even during my initial scanning of the text, which says something Once I was able to look past the grammatical errors, the book provides a solid foundation for weight training for the sport of track and field. If you're looking for a basic overview of lifting for track, this book will give you just that. If you want to look more in-depth to programs and want more of the science behind things, then you will be disappointed with this book, but I would suggest reading the NSCA Strength Training book by Lee Brown. For me, this book is useful when combined with other texts and resources that involve weight lifting and would be a good resource for a high school, late middle school, or club coach. College coaches should look for more detailed texts on the topic. Overall, I'm glad I bought this book. It confirmed some of what I already knew and gave me some quick references. As a college coach, I definitely am glad that I have other, more detailed, books covering the topic of strength training.

For Grandson

I bought it to see if it had event specific weight training ideas, in particular for high jump. Absolutely nothing. Title of book should be changed because it's misleading.

great

Price is higher not worth spending

Ben fatto
