This would make a great addition to someone wanting to learn more about the scientific nature of strength and how it pertains to athletics.This book would make a great supplement to anyone interested in exercise science.This book is about understanding the WHY behind the DO. Why are certain activities useful in strength, backed by science and results. I really appreciate this information, so I hope you do too.
