Supertraining - Mel C Siff

[0ne_Day]

amazing book, apparently lol, i ordered mine a few months ago but because of procrastination it hasnt been read yet, im just dying to know from the knowledge i could gain from reading this book.

anyone have experience with it and find it useful?

best strength book ever written. apparently :P

[Heisman2]

Well, to sum it up real quickly...

read it.

Even if you don't apply a lot of the stuff, the understanding of strength training you'll get from reading it is very valuable, as you'll always have confidence in how you design your workouts. Definitely try to read a few pages a day, if you can. It isn't meant to be read in one sitting, lol.

[bigpump23]

it's a must have, though trying to read more then 5 or 6 pages at a time gets confusing. Use it as a reference

[Perceptionist]

i read the entire damn thing. good read IMO...it helps already having some type of anatomy/physiology background. Not something I would give some random high school kid to read, they may be better off using it for a board press, naw mean?

[METAL VIPER]

I just got it in the mail along with Facts and Fallacies of Fitness, but haven't gotten the time read it. I'm going to finish FaFoF 1st.

I've been trying to get my hands on this book, all the sites i've visited only ship to the states and I live in Canada, would anyone know where I can order it so that it can ship to Canada? I have tried amazon and chapters. Cheers.

[Arlecchino]

Great book. I highly encourage everyone to read it, then re-read it.

Quite possibly the most dense and technical of all training related texts that I've read, but an absolute goldmine for information.

I ordered a copy of supertraining from efs a few days ago... it should arrive in about two days... I'm gonna start reading it as soon as it arrives

If anyone has been waiting for a good deal on Supertraining, I just found that Elitefts is now selling it for less than $40, which seems pretty good compared to other prices I've seen.

Sorry to bump a 4 year old thread , but I’m been searching all over with no luck. Everything I have read about this book has been nothing but good. I know it is much more technical then just some cut and dry BB book. But I wanted to know is there anything close to any sort of sample programs layed out in here, or is it pretty much strictly theory? I would like to atleast walkaway with a rough program layout that I can try and then build on. Thanks for your input.

The book itself is a compilation of decades of Soviet strength research and without at least a college background in biomechanics and exercise physiology you're going to have a bad time. There are no cut and dry programs, just concepts.

Super training Its more important than the bible trust me.

Information is overwhelming however extremely useful if you are a thinker. Most people will probably struggle to wrap their minds around the technicality of it. No sample programs from recollection, but many contemporary training programs are based off the concepts anyway so there is no need for a sample program. Don't read it from front to back, just pick your poison and learn it a piece at a time.

#1 book of reference in my collection. Good bump.

[gameNlift]

Noticed there's a few on amazon, was actually thinking about grabbing one. A little pricey but it is a textbook and I've only heard good things.

Edit -What on earth...people selling em
For $115-500 new on amazon...will gladly pay $65 for used.

Does anyone know of where a good place to find the 3rd edition of supertraining would be? I was encouraged to get the 3rd edition but if I can't find it I guess I will get the newest.
