Book Review: Very BASICS of Strength and Power
Summary: 2 Stars
If you are new to martial arts, and no nothing about training, this book would be ideal.
It will teach you machine and body weight excercises, how to perform them, it will explain what plyometrics are and it also briefly covers other areas such as cardio, stretching.
If however, you take your martial arts seriously and want to integrate cardio, strength, flexibility etc all into a routine, and then periodize it etc... this book is next to useless.
I wanted to know technical questions such as, how much i could perform sprints, when also doing squats in the same week? How often can I work my body in the gym when also using a heavy bag? Can I do kicking and punching drills the day after a full body workout at the gym? How much is overtraining etc
This book shed no light whatsoever.
If you want to learn how to perform a squat properly, this book is helpful. If you want to know devise a routine that will make you a great martial artist, don't go here.
