Product Review

The workouts presented in this compendium of articles are among the most effective for improving strength. Some, such as the 5x5 Method, are more effective for improving muscle size, but they do so at the expense of developing maximal strength. As a general guideline, these are the general loading parameters of developing the various types of strength.

This book will focus on programs that develop functional hypertrophy and relative strength, but consider that these energy systems are interrelated, such that developing relative strength can have a positive effect on improving strength endurance.
