Customer Reviews

A good book written by one of the best

Contrary to what another reviewer has said, plyometrics are perfectly safe when performed correctly by someone who already has a foundation of strength. While the high intensity training enthusiasts like to be dogmatic in their bashing of this type of training, it has been proven effective time and time again. In fact I had the opportunity to speak to a strength coach for the NFL who said most of the athletes who came to his team from a school that utilized high intensity training techniques seemed to be more susceptible to injuries. HIT training has it's place. But so do plyometrics. I have done them for years with no injuries resulting from them. Tudor Bompa is well respected in the field of strength training and for good reason. All of his books that I have read are excellent.
