This book is nothing special in my opinion. I bought it expecting a discusion of how weight training can benefit gymnastics training. Unfortunately all I got was a general discusion of how to lift weights. There was little on programming, a decent discusion on periodization, and a good discusion of general lifting exercises...but why do you need general lifting exercises? There's nothing special here. It gives a decent, but not great, overview of how to lift for general conditioning and strength training. Basic questions such as:
How to incorporate weight training with gymnastic training
What lifts will help you power through sticking points in which gymnastic techniques
No discusion of appropriate volume.
One of the biggest problems this book has is it recommends a complete weightlifting regimen. You don't need that if you're training for gymnastics already. You get a lot of strength and explosive work through normal training. Adding a compelte lifting routine on top of that is a sure route to over-training.
I give this three stars because it is a good introductory weight lifting text. It just has nothing special for gymnasts.
