Negative Positive
Title: Acceptable for a beginner but that's about it
Review: This book is NOT for anyone with a weight lifting background. I am a varsity swim coach with a weight traning background who bought this book hoping for new ideas. There were none. The book is rife with typos and the pictures are poor quality. The book also suggests overhead presses and behind the neck pull-downs; both of which are poor choices for anyone a good deal of yardage. Pictures show lifts like bent over barbell rows done with feet together when most people will suggest a wide base with feet shoulder-width apart for added stability. This book is not for a beginning swimmer. It is not for a coach or swimmer with moderate knowledge of weight lifting. I can think of very few people who would benefit from the content of this book even if it were accurate.
Is the review positive or negative?
