Title: Power by Frederick C. Hatfield ISBN: 0-8092-4433-0 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Pub. Date: 01 April, 1989 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (4 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Not a bad book ... but needs revision.
Comment: This is not a book for beginners who need someone to tell them what to do to get bigger--NO. This is a book more about the HOW and the WHY rather than the what. For instance, it talks about what muscles really are (biologically at the celluar level), how cells produce energy in the first portion and then goes on to cover all the other aspects of training, but again the WHY and the HOWs in great detail. The approach of this book is the knowledge of the HOW and WHY will help you in designing your own training regimen--not a completely ridiculous idea. In fact, this is a good book to have in your library if you are already underway (training regularly for a few weeks) and somewhat bewildered with all the fake jock-jargon you hear in the gym.
ONE BIG DISADVANTAGE is that this book is OLD!! The author cites references from journals dated in the 1980s ... A lot of new research has been performed in exercise science and this book needs a serious REVISION. Nonetheless, the book covers many DIVERSE approaches in detail and tells you exactly what makes them different and why they work.
If you trained yourself, and then had to train a beginner you would be able to do it because of this book.

Summary: This book is junk
Comment: The [money] I spent on this book was a waste. The arthur used his reputation to peddle a inferior book on training. The book may work in middle schools, but one could easily find more in depth articles online and in journals. Very little is given in terms of theory or application and more emphasis is given to rudimentary biological processes. I find this book to be a complete waste of a few hours better spent elsewhere.

Summary: For nearly everyone....
Comment: Dr. Hatfield's book is fantastic. Although he goes into several topics at length, he then breaks them down into easier terms to understand. This book deals with a wide array of subjects, including: cycling (training periodization, not bicycling), nutritional advice, biochemistry information, and more. I highly recommend it. Even though it is at times lengthy, the overall amount of information presented within it is well worth the effort.
