All in all this text is a very strong addition to any course on beginning weight training or general fitness. It is very easy to read and straight forward in its approach to the topic. The material is accurate and up to date. It contains excellent illustrations and explanations of how to perform many of the traditional strength training exercises. The fact that the text has a motivational 'undercurrent' to its approach is quite good, and I believe effective...This is something that is often missing in similar books., I would agree that the material is presented in sufficient depth and detail especially for beginning weight-training students. My students have commented that they enjoyed reading the text because it was not too technical and yet it was very informative. The material presented in this book has in my opinion always been accurate and up to date. This is evidenced by the fact that it is now going in to a 6th edition and because the author keeps up with current recommendations by NSCA and ACSM. The key strengths of this text is the fact that is well organized and is written very concise and to the point without a lot of unnecessary information to bore the reader. It is very student friendly because of this fact. The instructor's manual that comes with the text has been a tremendous help to us (especially when we have had to utilize adjunct and part-time faculty) because the manual gives daily lesson plans and helps organize the class for an entire semester., I feel the information in the text is of sufficient depth and detail for my students. There is a correspondence between the level of the text and the level of my course. The strength of the text includes its readability (easy to read), its colorful pictures, and useful charts/logs on which to record workouts and other information., KEY= accurate weight lifting techniques, good pictures of different lifts, and chapter on nutriiton. Chapter 2 includes good questions related to college students' interest... Chapter 13 is the most thorough chapter in the book. The photos in Ch. 7-12 are excellent.
