Publisher's Summary

There is a difference between exercise and training. Exercise is physical activity for its own sake, a workout done for the effect it produces today, during the workout or right after you're through. Training is physical activity done with a longer-term goal in mind, the constituent workouts of which are specifically designed to produce that goal. Training is how athletes prepare to win, and how all motivated people approach physical preparation.

good but could use a pdf download

It is a very comprehensive book, but really should have a pdf download for the missing images.

Needs a PDF

Definitely would benefit having a PDF, particularly for the programming. Content is great as expected.
