Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
One of the nation’s elite strength and conditioning coaches presents a unique training program designed to help men achieve functional strength and muscular balance throughout their bodies

For decades, the conventional measure of an individual’s strength was the amount of weight he could bench press. Now, that measure is being challenged by expert trainers like Robert dos Remedios who argue that the variety of movement patterns used in functional training is the real key to getting bigger, stronger, and more powerful. In Men’s Health Book of Strength, this acclaimed collegiate strength and conditioning coach describes in detail the methods he has used to develop hundreds of Division I scholarship athletes, including several current NFL players.

The key features that make this book a standout in the fitness field include:

• exercises geared toward functional strength that can be utilized in real-world situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture

• training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective

• compound, multijoint exercises that replace the less-effective isolation exercises found in many fitness books

• no-nonsense dietary information utilizing a new and innovative food pyramid developed by the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition that will optimize strength gains, recovery, and physical progress

User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing
Simply a fantastic book. Every other workout program has you doing isolation exercises (and many of the same exercises) over and over again. Not only does it get boring, it doesn't give you any functional everyday strength. The program outlined in this book is slowly transforming my life - I feel stronger in everything that I do and my college flabby physique is completely turning around.

After doing the workouts in the book I feel like I am one of the only ones in the gym actually working out. You begin to see how many people go there to lift a small amount, chat and finally leave. I feel like I'm the only one there actually busting my but off!



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Power Training
I read the book and enjoyed the radical training concept of push and pull. The book has a variety of exercise programs for a total body workout to be fit, increase strength or build more muscles. I love the workout program if you are traveling and away from a gym. This book includes a broad diet program to feed those muscles and start seeing results from the intensive workouts. I give the book thumbs up!



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Not For the Novice Lifter!!!!
I read a lot of reviews on Amazon and thought I would give this book a try. Let me start my saying that that this program DOES work if you stick to it. Having worked as an Athletic Trainer at Division I college for over 10 years I have seen this type of program implemented to college athletes with great success. The problem I have with this program is a lot of these lifts are VERY COMPLEX!!!! If you have very little lifting experience and you endeavor a single-leg good morning or a single-leg romanian deadlift you may very well injure yourself. A lot of these movements are taught to college athletes by a certified strength coach (which dos Remedios is) Athletes are closely supervised by this coach to make sure they are performing the movements correctly (as to avoid injuring themselves). Once these movements have been done correctly by the athlete they are given a little more freedom to exercise on their own. I think this program has great benefits for the experienced lifter who is looking to change his program up. And while Dos Remedios never says its a beginner book he also never states its for the advanced lifter.....which in my opinion it is. If you are a beginner or an overweight person looking to get started I would avoid this book. A couple of suggestions I have to make the book more beginner friendly.

1) Have a video showing proper form for some of the complex exercises
2) Classify exercises in the book as beginner, intermediate, advanced etc....



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Power training book review!!
This book is great! Robert dos remedios has changed my way of thinking about strength training. I use the compound exercises and I have been able to burn way more body fat and get the decent size gain i so desired in a shoirt amount of time. AND ITS FUNCTIONAL EXERCISES TOO!!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - PURCHASE this book
I could not be any more pleased with this book. I have been looking for training tips on functional exercises and this provides all necessary information along with all kinds of exercises that are valuable to people with injuries or issues with the provided plans. There are step by step and overall knowledge provided in a manner in which i have never seen before. It seems so simplistic that i cannot believe that there isn't something else out there as useful. Bottom line is that this is a top to bottom comprehensive book that leaves nothing out. You can read it through then use the provided sheets at the gym and be done with reading workout stuff. cannot recommend high enough
