Summary: Make up your own mind
Comment: The philosophy of "Power Factor Training" is doing heavy partial reps in X amount of time. Okay? That's it. Some people swear by it. Others swear at it. Make up your own mind. The book is valuable, though, in that it does show which exercises are the most effective for certain areas.

Summary: Are you looking to increase strength?
Comment: If you are buying this book to help build strength like I did this is the wrong book for you. It may be good to build mass but not strength. The premise of the book is pounds per minute and this will give you your biggest gains. I've tried in the past with lower weight higher reps and more sets and did not see good strength gains. This best strength gains I've had were due to the opposite of what this book suggest. Maybe I'm complaining about something the book was not intended for but it sounded good because the title. There are not many books out there just on how to build bench power I'm still searching.

Summary: The book with the most thorough research on weightlifting!
Comment: I must say that I am more than satisfied with the content of this book. The research that these two authors have placed in this book is amazing! These authors have given us the basis as to why certain exercises work and why others don't. They also provide us with an incredibly intense workout program.
As a weightlifter, I have read in many books, such as "Beef It" by Robert Kennedy and "Basic Weight Training" by Thomas D. Fahey, that one should not overtrain. What is the definition of overtraining? Well, these two authors have given us a mathematical (yes, mathematical!) formula that can help us measure how much our strength has grown and whether or not we have overtrained our muscles. How many other weight training books have been able to encapsulate our amount of muscular output into a mathematical formula?
These two authors took the time to analyze the most popular arm and chest exercises in existence and rated them according to their overall effectiveness. Do you think dumbell butterfly is a good exercise for you chest? If you do, then you really need to buy this book. It's no wonder why Harvard University's Physiological Department utilizes this book as the basis for their research.
