Book Reviews of Essentials of Weightlifting and Strength Training
Book Review: Very poorly written
Summary: 2 Stars
This book reads like a terrible translation. Sometimes I was able to figure out what the author was trying to say, but there were several passages that were so poorly written I suspected that entire words were either missing or accidentally added. This is not an occasional problem - it is in every single paragraph and practically every sentence. The editors did the author a real disservice by not either requiring him or having someone else rewrite this book so that it was clear and easily read. Books on this subject are often hard to understand - it's a complex subject - but the problem with this book isn't the difficulty of the material. It's practically incomprehensible in places, and completely frustrating throughout, due solely to its abysmal writing. No offense to the author, as I suspect English is his second language and I believe he has some good information here. But unless this book is completely rewritten it is not worth your money.
