A plan that works.

Here is a book that destroys the illusions surrounding weight lifting and strength training. Many of us sit in the gym wasting massive amounts of time on isolation exercises and judging our strength by bench press alone. This book focuses on total body fitness, compound exercises, balance from front to back, top to bottom. It emphasizes developing a powerful core and pure athleticism. I have placed my faith in this book and followed its prescribed workout since I received the book. The result is that I feel stronger, faster, bigger, and healthier. I feel like an athlete. I have also found that following the book's suggested rest times between sets serves two purposes for these workouts: First, it allows the workout to be completed in far less time than I was previously spending in the gym, yet I am accomplishing twice as much. Second, I have found this mode of fast-paced lifting to be as effective as most cardio sessions. My main goal has been reducing my body fat percentage in a healthy manner. So once I finally adapted to the challenge of the workout's pace, I did as Coach Dos suggested and added 15 minutes of interval cardio to the tail end of as many sessions as possible. This has proved extremely effective in blasting away abdominal fat. Of course a proper diet is necessary to optimize fitness improvements. And although this book contains a chapter on basic nutritional guidelines, which are extremely helpful, I must recommend looking at the Abs Diet books for more detailed nutrition plans. These books are also Men's Health sponsored and very helpful. There are plenty of glowing reviews here that are very helpful for this book, but I truly feel that the importance of the work being done by Coach Dos outlined here in his book is extremely valuable to men AND women everywhere. Here is a plan for life-changing self-improvement, and it will work. Read carefully, work hard, and enjoy.

Top-notch program!

I'm a 23 y/o who's been involved with sports since I was 5 y/o and have been lifting for sports since I entered high school. After graduation I became very involved in the bodybuilding aspect of lifting but ended up with several lifting related injuries. I turned from the bodybuilding magazines and the programs they offered to a more "real world" view of things with Men's Health Magazine.

One day while reading the articles in Men's Health I came across one written by dos Remedios, to but it bluntly, I LOVED IT. I saw the mention of this book in there and instantly new I had to have it.

I purchased the book and have begun lifting with the program. What I like most about it is its practicality and no-nonsense approach. As I'd said I've done the bodybuilding routines and only ended up with injuries. This book with make you a strong person for the real world with clearly explained, highly effective compound exercises, and precisely designed routines.

Get this book! You'll be thanking yourself in twelve short weeks!

Power training review

I really liked reading through Power training by Robert dos Remedios. I haven't quite finished the book yet, but it is a very informative read and has helped me in my workouts. It has a full section devoted just to exercises and how to do them. I give this book 10/10

Very informative and common sense routines

I am only going to reiterate what others have said in that this is an excellent book. There is plenty of information on workout theories, methods and practice that can benefit anyone. However, after peering through the routines, the setup of the routines I would recommend this book for someone who has already been working out for at least 1 year or so. This is because, the routines are not set in stone and matter of fact the idea of the book is for one to create their own routine. The book provides foundation with its theories and methods and then gives you workout cards that has sets/reps, movement patterns, rest period etc. and leaves it to the reader to pick the exercise to perform. Having some level of knowledge on one's own abilities and how to perform some lifts will only benefit the lifter. I recommend this book as a great addition to anyone that is interested in finding a great way to healthier, stronger body.
Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I would really have liked there to be a set routine instead of random variables on picking lifts. Also, the note on deadlift being a knee dominant lift and not a hip dominant lift was not explained as well as I thought it should have been. The argument can go either way and I hoped that there would be a much clearer explanation than one provided in the book.
