This is an amazing book. Don't listen to any of the bad reviews on it, because obviously those people didn't challenge their abs with enough reps. It's definately worth $10.47. It comes with so much information on how to achieve a healthy body, and is really quite interesting. Definately my favorite Ab book and I would suggest it to anyone.

Editorial Review:

Beefed up from 38 to 57 exercises, this new edition of Exercise Technique Manual for Resistance Training is a must for any professional library. It will help readers prepare for the NSCA’s Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist exam or its Certified Personal Trainer exam. It will also serve as a valuable reference for personal trainers and fitness instructors. Also, college and university faculty who teach courses in resistance training can use the manual and DVDs to complement hands-on instruction and demonstration or to teach exercise technique without going to a weight room.

This resource provides clear descriptions for those performing resistance training exercises or for those who instruct others. The manual gives detailed explanations on technique for each free-weight and machine exercise, and the accompanying DVDs show the movements for each exercise in action. Readers using this manual to study for the CSCS or NSCA-CPT exams will find this resource particularly helpful as they prepare for exam questions relating to anatomy, biomechanics, program design, and exercise technique.

Exercise Technique Manual for Resistance Training, Second Edition, contains the following features:

• Extremely thorough checklists for 57 resistance training exercises, helping readers safely perform the exercises or oversee the safe and correct performance of them
• Instruction from experts who were selected and approved by the NSCA
• Over 140 photos that demonstrate proper execution of the exercises
• Accurate exercise technique for each exercise on the DVDs, which also highlights some of the most common incorrect techniques

The manual and DVDs supply 5 total-body, 14 lower-body, 36 upper-body, and 2 abdominal exercises. For each exercise, the manual details the type of exercise (e.g., whether it is a single-joint or multi-joint exercise), the predominant muscle groups and muscles involved, and technique guidelines from beginning to end, including starting position, downward movements, and upward movements. When appropriate, the manual also covers transitions, catches, and other phases. It offers spotting guidelines, safety suggestions, weight belt recommendations, and breathing guidelines.

The result is a complete manual with expert guidance in safely performing common resistance training exercises—something that both professionals and students can use to further their careers.

Editorial Review:

Sports conditioning has advanced tremendously since the era when a "no pain, no gain" philosophy guided the training regimens of athletes. Dr. Tudor Bompa pioneered most of these breakthroughs, proving long ago that it’s not only how much and how hard an athlete works but also when and what work is done that determines the athlete’s conditioning level.

In Periodization Training for Sports, Bompa demonstrates how to use periodized workouts in order to peak at optimal times by manipulating six different training phases: anatomical adaptation, hypertrophy, maximum strength, conversion to power, maintenance, and transition. Coaches and athletes in 32 sports have at their fingertips a proven program that is sure to produce the best results. No more guessing about preseason conditioning, in-season workloads, or appropriate rest and recovery periods; now it’s simply a matter of identifying and implementing the information in this book.

Presented in a useful format with plenty of ready-made training schedules, Periodization Training for Sports is your best conditioning planner if you want to know what works, why it works, and when it works in the training room and on the practice field. Get in better shape next season, and see the benefits of smarter workouts in competition.

Lots of Routines 5 out of 5 stars.
16 of 17 people found this review helpful.

I have read a few body-building books and think this one, along with the other books in the same series (chest, legs, abs, etc), are the best to date.

One reason for this is the insistence upon good form. Like a lot of people, I have in the past gotten carried away with adding more weight and not paying attention to
form. This is still a temptation but the message on good form presented in this book is finally starting to stick. I especially was impressed by his argument for paying
attention to the negative part of the exercise.

Another STRONG point of the book is that it provides you with lots of routines. After finishing the books 6 week course,
you are supplied with an additional 4 or 5 good routines for future use. As the author states, it is important to change routines often, so that your muscles do not get too
used to a given exercise (and you dont get bored). However,
I am very lazy about putting together routines and tend to stick to one. Thanks to this book this is no longer a problem, because it does it for me; I now have complete
sets of routines that I can follow and am beginning to see important gains as a result.

The book also does a good job of covering the basics of good nutrition, rest and, for all of you gym rats who would ignore it,
aerobics (ever see those pudgy cro-magnon loking guys in the gym who claim their bloated tummies are muscle)!!!! He doesn't cover supplements though and that is
understandable given the controversy and hype surrounding so many of them.

Editorial Review:

"This massive and authoritative Master Blaster book is the greatest bodybuilding book ever written, primarily because it is firmly based on the training principles of the Weider System of Bodybuilding, which have been followed by literally every bodybuilder in the modern history of the sport. I began developing my Weider System back in the 1930s and continue to refine and add new Weider Training Principles to it. You can rely on the information I present in this book to improve your physique. Good luck!" -- Joe Weider On Instinctive Training "One of the most fundamental secrets of successful bodybuilding is getting to know your body and how it reacts to various training and nutritional practices. Unless you have finely honed your instinctive training ability, it will take many weeks, even months, to evaluate each experiment. It definitely pays to master the Weider Instinctive Training Principle." -- Franco Columbo, two-time Mr. Olympia On Progression "The key to building massive, powerful muscles is to doggedly increase the training weights you use. But it is only good to increase training poundage if you do so in perfect form. There is a direct correlation between the amount of weight you use with perfect biomechanics in an exercise and the mass of muscles that move that weight." -- Lee Haney, three-time Mr. Olympia On Muscle Confusion "Once I reached the advanced level of bodybuilding and started entering competitions, I discovered that I quickly became bored with a set training program. I began to use the Weider Muscle Confusion Principle, changing to a new and more challenging routine every time I came into the gym to bomb a particular body part." -- Lou Ferrigno On Supersets "Since supersets constitute a big jump in training intensity, I always tell bodybuilders new to the Weider Supersets Training Principles to experiment with supersets, compounding movements for the biceps and triceps, or forearm flexors and forearm extensors." -- Albert Beckles, IFBB World Pro Grand Prix Champion

18th century's approach to strengthening: bulking and artistic illustration, with minimal fitness. 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 26 people found this review helpful.

In my earlier review of "Weight Training for Men and Women" by the same author, I had addressed the same issues which appear in the current book, which is nothing more than reproducing the previous book under a different title. The reason for my second review is to attempt to answer my own concerning questions. Those are:

1- What are the simplest and basic exercises needed for staying fit versus achieving tip-top athleticism?
2- What are the basic nutritional needs for staying healthy at affordable cost?
3- What are the minimum guidelines for telling the difference between good fitness virtues versus bad ones?

I believe that Bill Pearl has taken the bodybuilding approach for granted as the best way to building strength. There must be a simpler answer to reduce the number of exercises to as low as 3 of 4, and the nutritional needs to basic grocery food stuff. The complicated needs for bodybuilding stand in the way of producing an educated generation of fit citizens. From what you read in this book, the current approach to weight training is more retarded than the 18th century's approach: complex needs for formidable objectives. This approach alienates the majority of people who are looking for affordable, rational, and practical life style of staying fit and strong.

A summary for the book contents follows with reviewer's comments.

- General conditioning: it prepares beginners to joining the world of adult training for the sake of becoming bodybuilders.

- Bodybuilding: a summary of training programs for beginners, intermediate, and advanced trainees with helpful tables of sketches of exercises.

- Strength Training for Sports: an essential discussion on periodization, exercise physiology, and training habits.

- Stretches from Weight Training: a brief and appropriate list of stretching exercises.

- Sports Training Programs: full 100 pages of non-sensual and redundant programs for people who never seek help from a bodybuilding expert. The section on Powerlifting propagates the myth of isolated regional training. Thus the legs are hit hard on one day, the shoulders on another day, and the back on a different day. That is a backward approach to training that even the 18th century athletes would have never contemplated.

- Exercises for Free Weights: This is the thickest chapter in the book. It deals with exercises for isolated body parts. It starts with two anatomical charts that are made in haste. The chart of the front, misplaces the gluteus minimus and that of the back misplaces the two rhomboideus muscles. Neither chart locates the serratus anterior, levator scapulae, abdominis transversus, or the most important muscles: the spinal erectors or quadratus lumborum. Let alone the soleus and vastus intermedius.
Its major pitfalls are: the bent-to-opposite foot (page 192), wide-gripped back squat (page 284), and cross-arm front squat (page 285-7). The first exercise traumatizes the vertebral ligaments, the latter two overlook shoulder flexibility.


- Hardware: is the right place to fill 20 pages with non sense information.

- Fit for Life: deals with low back issues and children's training. Its pitfall lies in designating specific training programs for blue-collar workers and white-collar workers, as if the author could draw the specific health criteria from socioeconomic status.

-Getting Older: is a motivational chapter on training in old age. It is based on personal concern of the author. The over 50's program is merely a personal choice than a reliable recommendation.

-Muscles: is a snap shot on muscle anatomy and function with an attempt to explain the effect of exercise of muscular adaptation.

- Injuries: is a brief outline of sports injuries and the "RICE" first aid.

- Injury Rehabilitation Program: is a useless chapter that lists exercises of back, knee, and shoulders without further details on how to structure any rehab.

- Nutrition: deals with macronutrients, supplements, natural food, and vegetarian eating. It presents both the author's own experience in addition to current knowledge among bodybuilders.

- Drugs: deals with the reason for their use, its statistics, and types: steroids, growth hormone, and stimulants. It discusses two perplexing uses of human chorionic gonadotropin and tamoxifen by bodybuilders for blocking the effect of steroid on breast and testicles. [It might be more shocking to most readers to realize that nutritional health food stores in America sell on-the-self packages that contain steroids. Those cause breast swelling in male bodybuilders with inconvenient knobbing and hardening of the breast tissue. (Ref.: personal encounter is a local gym)].

- Brief History of Resistance Exercise: is the best chapter in the book. It contains rare photos and stories from the 18th century and attempts to document the history of lifting. Its best photo belongs to Arthur Saxon's one-hand press of his two brothers loaded on a bar. The hitch, in that photo, is that the loaded bar does not show a yielding curve, which raises doubt about the authenticity of the photograph.

The book includes more than 100 one-page fitness programs that can be performed by simply following the illustrations, while each lift is keyed to a section with specific instructions for that lift.

Former physiology Teaching Fellow rating.... 3 out of 5 stars.
8 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I am a former physiology teaching fellow, personal trainer and biochemist. Currently, I am employeed in the psychology field, but I maintain a personal interest in fitness, new developements, etc. I have had back surgery, herniated disks in my neck and other problems some of which are related to sports in part or in full. So... I have some academic credibility as well as personal experience in this area.

With this context out of the way, I want to first say that I got some good ideas from this book and I don't doubt that a lot of the suggestions would be extremely effective. On the other hand, I wouldn't necessarily say the same for safety. If someone has perfect technique and doesn't bite off more than they can chew, they will probably be OK. On the other hand, I would check with a doctor, chiropracter and/or physical therapist before embarking on this program or at least the more risky exercises.

Many of the exercises that appear in this book are recycled from other places and are not new or innovative. The content is rather light and as other reviewers have mentioned there is no suggested routine, reps, sets or anything else. Given the price of this book and this man's reputation, I expected much more for the cost.

In fairness, I would rate the book a 3.5 on the strength of gathering some very useful material in one place. The hard reality for a lot of people is that washboard abs may be out of reach genetically. It doesn't really matter how many abdominal exercises they do or for how long. Dieting might be very helpful, but even then fat distribution patterns are largely genitically determined. Contour liposuction and moderate exercise without risking a need for back surgery might be a better option for some. This reality doesn't seem to be emphasized enough in this book.

I must admit that I was also turned off a lot by all the marketing hype particularly at the end of the book. It certainly didn't help the author to establish credibility in my eyes that some of the information is a general reference to soviet scientists, an unnamed doctor, etc. I would prefer to have heard more personal accounts with depth or even routines, reps, sets, days a week of exercise and results obtained.

For the money, there is very little content here. I would say 50% or more could be found in a yoga book or other abs books. My personal experience working with others doing abs training is that functional integration achieved by using the body in a coordinated way along with developing strength through progressive resistance is the shortest path to the goal.

I don't personally believe doing more than 20 reps of anything is useful for the abs, but adding weight gives you more bang for the effort if you can do it with good form. Also, exercises like squats and deadlifts strengthen the abs substantially by having them work against increased internal abdominal pressure from bearing weight. Pushups are also excellent for the same reason and the abs must also hold the viscera in place against gravity.

I applaud the author for including some yoga exercises. These have been empirically tested for thousands of years and even used in back rehabilitation e.g. see Back Care Basics: A Doctor's Gentle Yoga Program for Back and Neck Pain Relief. Also, the author Judith Lasater gathered real references from the Journal of Applied Physiology on the plank and variations. Almost counterintuitively, these are some of the best abs exercises and it's great that the author of this book includes them and gives a short explanation of why they work.

If I judge this book against other books in this genre based on content, density, added value, I think saying it's a 3.0-3.5 is very generous. Dollar for dollar, my favorite author in this area is Stuart McRobert. In particular I like the following: Build Muscle Lose Fat Look Great: Everything You Need to Know to Transform Your Body and the The Insider's Tell-All Handbook on Weight-Training Technique. Another very good book on correct technique is Starting Strength: A Simple and Practical Guide for Coaching Beginners.

In summary, if you are new to weight lifting or body building, I would steer clear of some of these exercises and perhaps the entire book. If you are advanced lifter, you will get much more out of it and you will already know about the potential safety hazards of some of these exercises from your experience. Personally, I think the author was remiss in not focusing more on technique, safety and a progression through the various exercises with guidelines about when it is safe or reasonably safe to tackle a more difficult variation.

All of this is simply my own opinion. There are people who know more about bodybuilding, physiology, etc. However, I am an expert on my own experience, I read a lot and I am more knowledgable than the average layperson in this area. I wrote this review to provide some balance to some of the other reviews and I offered my honest opinion. It is not meant to replace other reviews, but rather to compliment them with a different perspective.

In summary, there is some added value here in terms of a number of innovative techniques and why they work. However, overall this book is simply unbalanced. Instead of using so much space for marketing, I wished he used those pages to add more detail on the fine points of the exercises or included suggested routines, sets and reps.

With respect to the proprietary exercise equipment the author recommends, I'm not convinced that you really need it or can't achieve the same result in other ways. I'm sure it works, but you can get the same result with a yoga block between your knees and exercise bands attached to your ankles for much less cost.

Editorial Review:

Fry your abs without the spine-wrecking, neck-jerking stress of traditional crunches -- using this radical sit-up designed by the world's leading back and muscle function expert, Professor Janda from Czechoslovakia. No one -- but no one -- has ever matched Bruce Lee's ripped-beyond-belief abs. What was his favourite exercise? Here it is. Now you can rip your own abs to eye-popping shreds and reclassify yourself as superhuman.
