Worth considering January 19, 2001

I'll give this book higher marks than the original book by these authors in which they put forward their idea of "Power Factor Training." The reason, is because while there are still a lot of people who will convincingly pick apart each argument put forward by the authors, at least with this specialization book, you get a look at what the most effective back and shoulder exercises are. That alone was worth the book. As for their controversial plan, look, if you're in a rut, it may be worth trying. Just read the fine print carefully, and buy a good calculator. You'll need it.
high intensity , short range : welcome to the pain zone ! April 6, 2000

I would recommend the "power factor " approach to trainees in the intermediate and advance category. After a 26 year training career (weightlifting, powerlifting and bodybuilding), it was refreshing to read practical training ideas that could immediately be introduced to my workouts to up the overall intensity. Be warned.. these techniques are not for beginners and advance trainees should not overestimate their abilities when they hit those first high rep, short range movements ! Like all new training techniques ,apply your mind to the ideas and and routines presented and make an informed decision as to the best way to use them in terms of your own abilities and training goals...remember there are no final answers in the mysterious world of weight training (in spite what the academics would have us believe !).All I can say is that short range overloads did'nt harm Paul Anderson any (one of the strongest men of all time ) and after my first shoulder workout using this system , my delts were so burnt out I did'nt know where to put my arms !
