Description

Strength training has always been a significant component of physical preparation for athletes and recreational athletes. Strength training seeks improvements in strength performance, looking fabulous when naked, injury prevention as well as transfer to other sporting activities. Planning ideas, approaches, and philosophies in strength training is also an excellent vehicle for understanding overall planning strategies and training theories in general due to more straightforward quantification of the training load and easily observed performances.

Strength Training Manual represents my ongoing pursuit in understanding both strength training and training theory in general, by providing an overview of the conflicting opinions, but also giving practical, heuristic solutions to common problems and their reconciliation. The framework for such an approach is the Agile Periodization, which approaches planning from uncertainty perspective, iterations, and experimentation while providing satisfying and robust solutions.

Besides being very rich in theory, Strength Training Manual is also rich in “forum for action” solutions, including reference tables, useful heuristics, and more than 1,900 set and rep schemes provided and analyzed. It also provides the best practices from other experts tinkering in this field.

This book is published in three electronic Volumes. Volume One covers major theoretical points needed for further understating of the more practical material in Volumes Two and Three.

Strength Training Planning revolves around three iterative phases:

  1. Establish 1RM
  2. Plan the Training Phase
  3. Review and Retrospective (or Rinse and Repeat)

Volume One provides a detailed explanation of the first phase (“Establish 1RM”) and the Agile Periodization philosophy in general by covering the following topics:

  1. The philosophical underpinning of the Agile Periodization
  2. Exercise classifications and their relationships
  3. Testing approaches for establishing 1RM used for percent-based prescription as well as the novel “Estimation through iteration” approach
  4. Prescribing training loads using various methods and their modifications

Strength Training Manual will give you not only a practical solution to tackle everyday problems of planning, prescribing, and monitoring strength training, but also critical thinking skills. You can use these essential skills of thinking and tools in other types of physical preparation and training in general.

    This is gold, pure gold! Mladen has put together an encyclopedia of modern thought in sports science and this is essential reading for anyone looking for ways to get ahead of their competition.

    Having followed Mladen’s work for some time now, it never seems to amaze me the meticulous of his dissection of periodization and program design models. In his latest work, he gives us, the clinician, the practitioner, the coach another in depth analysis of the numerous ways we can design effective and efficient strength programs to our athletes. This is a must have for your library!

    The fact that this isn’t another ‘here is my method for training athletes’ strength book is exactly why I love it; having a book dedicated to principles and heuristics seems a lot more valuable in a time where adaptability trumps rigidity in most contexts. I was telling one of my staff today when we were talking about Strength Training Manual: ‘Mladen isn’t for everyone, but he isn’t trying to be. He knows who he is for and those that get him, appreciate everything he does
