Jeff Hauswirth makes it clear that effective weight training takes a commitment -- nothing worth having comes easily -- but in his book he's provided all the motivation I need to make that commitment and the practical easy-to-understand steps to follow through with that commitment. The book is a perfect beginner's blueprint to weight training success, but even veteran lifters can benefit from Hauswirth's emphasis on proper form and technique. Teenager or adult, it's never too late to get started on weight training, and there's no better book to use as a launching pad to achieve success with it.

Every athlete that I have encountered comes to their first training session thinking either A) They are going to jump right in and lift everything in the room OR B) They are afraid to touch anything in the room.

I found Jeff's book both informative and entertaining. Despite having trained with weights for many years I still found some useful tidbits that have been effective in improving my workouts. If my children express an interest in weight training this will be the book I turn to as the book does a good job relating to young adults through the use of young people in the photos and the style of writing used. The book was a quick read, but had good information and is just the right size to throw in your gym bag.

Topics covered
