Review: Libro Fantastico - Spedizione puntuale e libro arrivato in condizioni perfette. Per quanto riguarda i contenuti, sapevo di fare centro con questo acquisto. Lo ritengo un "must have" per chi voglia avere delle solide basi per quanto riguarda l'allenamento con i pesi e il condizionamento. Nient'altro da aggiungere. 5 stelle meritatissime Review: A great science book that covers a little about a lot, not exactly for beginners - This book is very dense and I recommend that you purchase a few other things to accompany it first, one being "Science and Practice of Strength Training, Second Edition". That being said, I still very much like this book. Coming from a background as a college athlete at a major division I program, I was exposed to many of the practices mentioned in this text and can appreciate the acknowledgement of the mental side of performance. The authors attempt to spare no details in terms of they covered a lot about the big things in training, periodization, exercise selection and some basic biology. The one area that left me wanting more was the chapters on periodization. I would have like to see an example of different approaches, ex. more of a side by side comparison of the linear and nonlinear programming mentioned and why things in the individual programs might be less than optimal. There are however entire books about the subject so I can't complain! If you buy this book, you're more looking for science and being able to break down programs and learn what's working well in them. If you're looking for specific programs for your athletes or sample programs you might want to reconsider. I will say that after I've read through this a couple of times I am more able to recognize that many programs can be constructed very well and this book just lets you know a little more about which ones have more good things than the others. If you ever read another "fitness article" your bs meter will quickly be able to detect quality

Het was geen nieuw exemplaar, niet duidelijk bij aankoop
Ik bestel het boek via Amazon. het was me niet duidelijk bij aankoop dat het een tweedehands exemplaar betrof. Hierdoor kan ik niet op de web resource waar je normaal toegang toe krijgt als je het boek hebt aangekocht.

This is the real book.
Actually, I’ve already passed this cscs exam but I studied the book in Korean. Back then, there were tons of sentences and words most of which were hard to understand and irrelevant so that I decided to order this original book. Even I’m not around in English stuffs but I could handle this book in English and truly much better understanding this book than any book that is translated. In order to be more closed to the average of cut line more than 70 points on each section, I had to order the original one. As I’m Korean who had never studied in USA, it’s the way more easier than Korea version can you believe that? Hahaha Anyway thank you for Amazon.com.
