Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning Review: A great science book that covers a little about a lot, not exactly for beginners - This book is very dense and I recommend that you purchase a few other things to accompany it first, one being "Science and Practice of Strength Training, Second Edition". That being said, I still very much like this book. Coming from a background as a college athlete at a major division I program, I was exposed to many of the practices mentioned in this text and can appreciate the acknowledgement of the mental side of performance. The authors attempt to spare no details in terms of they covered a lot about the big things in training, periodization, exercise selection and some basic biology. The one area that left me wanting more was the chapters on periodization. I would have like to see an example of different approaches, ex. more of a side by side comparison of the linear and nonlinear programming mentioned and why things in the individual programs might be less than optimal. There are however entire books about the subject so I can't complain! If you buy this book, you're more looking for science and being able to break down programs and learn what's working well in them. If you're looking for specific programs for your athletes or sample programs you might want to reconsider. I will say that after I've read through this a couple of times I am more able to recognize that many programs can be constructed very well and this book just lets you know a little more about which ones have more good things than the others. If you ever read another "fitness article" your bs meter will quickly be able to detect quality Review: Everything you need is in here! - I really enjoyed this textbook, the reason for my purchasing of this textbook was to help me study for my CSCS exam. The textbook comes with on online study forum that has a lot of videos, very similar to ones i saw on the test. Great study resource. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 149250162X | | Best Sellers Rank | #287,646 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #298 in Weight Training (Books) #8,524 in Textbooks (Special Features Stores) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,397) | | Dimensions | 8.75 x 1.5 x 11 inches | | Edition | Fourth | | ISBN-10 | 9781492501626 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1492501626 | | Item Weight | 5.1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 752 pages | | Publication date | November 16, 2015 | | Publisher | Human Kinetics | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FolMsduYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great science book that covers a little about a lot, not exactly for beginners *by A***R on July 30, 2016* This book is very dense and I recommend that you purchase a few other things to accompany it first, one being "Science and Practice of Strength Training, Second Edition".

The textbook comes with on online study forum that has a lot of videos, very similar to ones i saw on the test. Great study resource. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the real book. *by H***I on December 29, 2019* Actually, I’ve already passed this cscs exam but I studied the book in Korean. Back then, there were tons of sentences and words most of which were hard to understand and irrelevant so that I decided to order this original book. Even I’m not around in English stuffs but I could handle this book in English and truly much better understanding this book than any book that is translated. In order to be more closed to the average of cut line more than 70 points on each section, I had to order the original one. As I’m Korean who had never studied in USA, it’s the way more easier than Korea version can you believe that? Hahaha Anyway thank you for Amazon.com. ## Frequently Bought Together - Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning - Cscs Study Guide 2023-2024: Complete Review + 660 Test Questions and Detailed Answers Explanations for the NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Exam (3 Full-length Exams) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/20776038-essentials-of-strength-training-and-conditioning](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/20776038-essentials-of-strength-training-and-conditioning) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
