Synopsis

Everyone who resistance trains needs a solid plan to make their efforts worthwhile. Whether the goal is to get stronger, build muscle, "tone" and "shape" the body, improve athletic performance potential, protect against injury, or improve overall fitness and well-being, having proper guidelines is essential. The Strength Training Workout Encyclopedia and its accompanying CD-ROM serve as those essential guidelines. The book contains instructions in its 3 chapters on how these workouts can be personalized. Chapter 1, Selecting Workouts, contains the basic instructions on how to read and utilize the CD-ROM files. Chapter 2, Creating a Personalized Workout, contains a short and long method and instructions for setting up a workout plan. Lastly, Chapter 3, Workout Catalog, contains the entire CD-ROM catalog for quick viewing. The CD-ROM that accompanies this book contains over 2,500 Microsoft Excel® workout spreadsheets for the avid trainer, strength coach, personal trainer, or anyone needing specific workout guidelines. If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, simply tweak a workout by substituting an exercise or altering the number of repetitions. Whatever your goals, time frame, or equipment limitations are, the workouts you need can be found on the CD-ROM in a few simple steps.
