Title: THE book for weight training
Review: Bompa's book is the definite book on periodization strength training. Yes, it's heavy, full of technical terms and overwritten. But it's also comprehensive, relies on solid research and focuses on what works, not what's the latest fad.Bompa speaks from experience and his book is chock full of solid, complete ideas on how to undertake sport-specific strength training program. He outlines strength training programs for 35 sports. That includes all the main sports but oddly leaves out golf while including alpine skiing and kayaking. Go figure.Bompa has a PhD and has had a long and successful career. He speaks from experience and it shows. If you only buy one book on weightlifting and strength training, buy Bompa's book. Work your way through it. It takes some time but the results are worth it.
