By Charles Poliquin

Proven Scientific Theory of manipulating reps & sets to increase muscle strength, size and/or to burn bodyfat!

Three sets of ten... Five sets of five... One set to failure... Drop Sets... Negatives... Eccentric Loading........ All this terminology can be confusing even to strength coaches and personal trainers. Within a short time however, it becomes obvious that sets and reps are at the core of all resistance training.

Trouble is, the "ideal" way to incorporate sets and reps into a workout regimen for the best results has been debated by scientists and coaches for decades. Unfortunately, most magazines articles and exercise books are of little help since they generally devote insufficient attention to set/rep schemes. These resources usually just show a few exercises to follow (and maybe give some principles) and then leave you on your own. Other resources describe in great detail the "one and only way" to train but neglect other proven methods. This book will change that.

Modern Trends in Strength Training, Charles brings all his champion-proven techniques to you into a multi-volume reference source. Modern Trends in Strength Training; Volume 1: Second Edition explains the proven scientific theories behind sets and reps, and teaches you effective ways to help your athletes become bigger, stronger, or both.

As a bonus, the final chapter is devoted exclusively to the best set/rep strategies Coach Poliquin has chosen from his 20 years’ experience as a strength coach. These training methods will help your athletes achieve their athletic potential as no others can!
