The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Triathlon (The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Sports, 28) review:1 stars (This triathlete agrees) - The strength of triathlon strength training plans comes from authors who realize that weights augment other endurance training. Strength training must be seen as part of a larger endurance plan; this books just looks at weights and doesn't even do that very well. Other reviewers are correct in saying this book is pretty much a cut and paste job--it is. Also the quality of binding and pictures looks like something that I could have made in the 1980s with a copy machine (the pictures are blurry, the type-set is just plan ugly, and the binding is flimsy).
Stay away from this book; it will not help you to develop a quality weight trianing program for triathlons. Instead look at for triathlon centered books by real triathlon coaches or triathletes.
P.S. Notice that all of the positive reviews are from "a reader"? It makes me think that this is the publisher, rather than real triathletes who would rated this book so high. 2 stars (Not for this triathlete) - I have a personal training studio, have done several triathlons and sat on my bike for 6 hours or more. I bought the book thinking it would spark up my weight routine and give new ideas. I was disappointed to say the least. This author is not even a triathlete. He is a bodybuilder, yes we need high reps, but we need core strength, balance, and power. There was none of this in the book.2 stars (Nothing but cut and pasted old school exercises ) - You might confuse this book for a '70s Joe Weider weight training manual. Apparently this company cranks out dozens of these "sport specific" books (lacross, hockey, etc) with no real knowledge into the actual sport. They must have a template doc which they do a search & replace from "hockey" to "triathlon". I can imagine a guy at a desk thinking - "hhmm, triathletes use their arms right?" and cut & pasting a couple of standard arm exercises in. Almost nothing about core, balance, or endurance. You'd be much better off with the exercises in Triathlete's Edge by Marc Evans.
