Summary: very useable for firewood
Comment: who is barney groves??????........and who are the supposedly national and world champions he presents in his book?????
as one who had been involved in powerlifting since it's inception as coach.....international referee.......and a 5 time world champion........i find this book to be a joke......mr groves may have meant well...but i find the book to be a piece of junk...written by a no name author ...giving incorrect information....using made up national and world champions to promote a book that teaches nothing........i guess anybody can make money on anything today in the good old u.s.a.
it does my sport a great disservice to present information like this to the general public......
the book should be rated as a comet not a star......i.e falling to earth and burning up is it's best chance of being useable

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I purchased this book to add to my general knowledge of powerlifting. It was extremely basic and utterly useless to anyone who has some knowledge of the sport. I hoped to gain information about training methods and routines, but the book did not deliver. The book also contradicts itself on many occasions. At one point, it claims working the calf muscle will not increase power, yet later it gives information on calf exercies to supplement the squat.
Rating: 1
Summary: Very very basic and uninsparing
Comment: This book is perhaps only interesting if you are a absolute beginner and want to learn a bit about powerlifting. The exercises are in my opinion very poorly displayed. Also the text is sometimes vague and uninspered.
It looks like this book is put together fast for sales, with no creative ideas or innovating routines. All the information in this book is well known to everybody, easily obtained through websites , and in places outdated.
I am sorry that I bought it, since I ecspect more from a recent publication by Human Kinetics.
