Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this book is very useful for building a routine, with clear directions, strong scientific backing, and a helpful range of basic, advanced, and sport-specific programs. Some reviewers also say it is especially good for beginners or people over 50 who want a safe, structured starting point.
Goodreads readers are generally positive, describing it as practical, informative, and motivating for starting or returning to strength training. A smaller number of reviews suggest it may feel most useful for novice trainers or people looking for foundational guidance.
On Human Kinetics, one customer review says the book is okay for beginning coaches or over-50 readers who want advice, which suggests the audience is somewhat niche but aligned with the title’s purpose. A blog review on Old Man’s Gym calls it a solid guide for older adults who want to understand why strength training matters and how to begin.
