  For a practical understanding of strength..., 10. März 2000
Zatsiorsky's book is a well presented foundation for learning the concepts behind strength training. The book is primarily directed towards a coach's perspective, but anyone can benefit from it.
The textbook layout is straightforward and includes data gathered from trained athletes. It begins with some basics of strength conditioning. Less knowledgable readers will benefit from these first chapters. The book then progresses to cover training, timing and exercising. Zatsiorsky includes some decent ideas about injury prevention as well. Overall, it's not an excyclopedia with all the answers. The goal is not to provide generic routines for readers, but to provide the basis for readers to custom design their own routines. I've found this to be a very useful. My thanks to the author. P.S. Thanks for your recommendation, Louie Simmons!
It is a must have for your training library, 12. Juli 1999
Finally someone has approached strength training with enough science as they have cardiovascular training. The definitions are so needed. A definite reference in my library.
The best theory based strength and conditioning book availab, 27. November 1998
An excellent book that describes useful strength and conditioning practices.
Excellent book exploring many facets of strength training., 24. August 1998
The author has an extraordinary grasp of both the theory and practice of strength training. It is not, however, for those frightened of a bit of science. One of the more enlightening aspects is his explanation of the relationship between force and speed and the consequences of coaches failing to understand that relationship. Zatsiorsky has a depth of knowledge related to the strength requirements for many sports and activities gained from his many years experience in the former Soviet Union. This is probably the best book I have yet read relating to strength training.
