Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: One of the nation’s elite strength and conditioning coaches presents a unique training program designed to help men achieve functional strength and muscular balance throughout their bodies
For decades, the conventional measure of an individual’s strength was the amount of weight he could bench press. Now, that measure is being challenged by expert trainers like Robert dos Remedios who argue that the variety of movement patterns used in functional training is the real key to getting bigger, stronger, and more powerful. In Men’s Health Book of Strength, this acclaimed collegiate strength and conditioning coach describes in detail the methods he has used to develop hundreds of Division I scholarship athletes, including several current NFL players.
The key features that make this book a standout in the fitness field include:
• exercises geared toward functional strength that can be utilized in real-world situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture
• training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective
• compound, multijoint exercises that replace the less-effective isolation exercises found in many fitness books
• no-nonsense dietary information utilizing a new and innovative food pyramid developed by the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition that will optimize strength gains, recovery, and physical progress

Customer Reviews
Best resource of it's kind
This is simply the best conditioning book I have ever read. If one is looking for a program to become functionally strong and athletically conditioned, this is it.
In essence, the type of training detailed in this book is the type of training done by athletes, not bodybuilders. So although there will be increased muscle size, it is not the same type of muscle size desired by bodybuilders. In addition, the programs focus on core stability and exersises that translate into everyday activities as well as sports.
As stated earlier, this is simply the best book of its kind that I have read so far. This takes nothing away from other similar books on the market, of which I have read some, however, this is just the best.

Excellent book
I have been power lifting and bodybuilding for almost 30 years. Even so, I found this book very useful. I highly recommend it. I liked it so much I even bought one for my brother who lives in Oman.

A must-read book
Coach Dos' book Power Training is a phenomenal book. It has totally revolutionized my training. After 10 yrs of doing traditional bodybuilding routines, i.e. Chest on Monday, Back on Tues, Legs on Wed, etc etc. I read his book and finally got on board with the concept of total body conditioning and push-pull routines. I feel stronger, more athletic and more coordinated than ever. I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm not quite as "big" as I was when I was doing traditional bodybuilding-style routines, however, I feel much more athletic and coordinated. I am about 6 lbs lighter and my BF % has went down. The push-pull routines are awesome. I change my routine every 3 wks and pick new exercises from the book. And single-joint exercises are a thing of the past in my routines. Now I laugh when I see the guys at the gym doing concentration curls and leg extensions.
A must-read for sure.

Women, this is a great book for you, too!
I wanted to make sure and get a review here from a woman's point of view. And, I have to say this is one of the best fitness books I've followed. Women, don't be afraid of weights and don't be afraid of the 'Men's Health' title. This book is GREAT for women! If you are at all familiar with the weight room, look into this book. I love how one can just follow the templates and choose which exercise to plop in there. It makes my workouts interesting, varied, and challenging. Great book! I highly recommend!
