Superb book
This is a great book for anyone looking to start lifting weights to improve their strength and power. The correct way to perform each exercise is clearly shown using photographs as well as a gradual progression through the stages to ensure the lifters safety and competance.

I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to improve their sport performance, whether it be weightlifting itself or another sport requiring explosive power.

fantastic book
I found this book very informative, both in terms of techniques involved in explosive lifts, and how to incorporate them into sport training. a valuable resource for athletes involved in any sport, coaches or just recreational lifters looking for a change in programme.
Easily worth the money.

OK for beginners, OLY lifts only.
Way too little info, and a total focus on the oly lifts, no power or BB or sport lifts, dissappointing, Artie Drechsler's book is vastly, vastly superior.
