Anyone read these?

Read 1 and 6. There are several editions of 1 with slightly different content. They are interesting but quite in depth. It is also an expensive book.

6 is the standard NSCA text. It gives a good general overview but is pretty basic and it won’t tell you anything you don’t already know.

Essentially, they are both intersting but are they worth £70 between them?

Thanks TC - great feedback …

Do I send the saved 70 USD to you?

Great book,but not for coaches (in my opinion).Very technical ,but what come out is quite often a necessity of further investigations on the human body
I sometime read the great chapters,but to tell you the truth i haven’t use much this book for my training.
As someone was pointing out,is expensive also.

If your knowledge is low,then you might take a look at this.But,this is not the case,so i don’t think it would be useful to you.
