Table of contents:
Part 1 The Science of Strength Using science and practical experience to find the most effective training methods.
This second book of mine (the first one being The Black Book of Training Secrets) is a gift to myself. I’ve wanted to write something specifically for athletes and strength coaches for a long time; put something out there that would revolutionize how high level athletes undertake their training. But I’m not utopic. I don’t believe that this book will usher strength & power training into a new era. However, I’m sure that all of you will learn a lot of new training means, methods, and methodics from this book. What it will do is add a few tools to your coaching/athletic toolbox, allowing you to reach a new level of success in your training (or your athlete’s).
