This book covers much ground that other books do not, offering information health and injury management, factors that contribute to a successful routine, and actual program implementation.

• Updated scientific information to ensure the book aligns with current research.
• Extensive information on body part splits and population modifications, allowing one to construct a routine that fits their lifestyle and skill level.
• More in-depth explanation of each element of a routine.
• An entirely new chapter entitled Methods of Progression to ensure plateaus are never an issue.
• Expanded sample programming that includes common faults made at different skill levels.

v2.2 5/2/17: Page 38 missing fixed. Page available: http://stevenlow.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Page38.pdf

5/19/22-6/4/22: Amazon/Kindle stopped manufacturing the book due to changing their max page size to 590 (mine was 598). The solution was to compress the interior to keep all of the content. All exercise progressions used to have their own pages, but now a few are two on a page.
