Absolutely the Best

I have only been doing this program for a little while, and it is as great as everyone says it is. Someone earlier said it is great for 16-45 year olds, but Im about to turn 15 and it works great for me. It would also work great for someone over 45, as their are at leat 10 different exercises for each body part to choose from. I suggest you stop whatever program you may be doing right now and try this one, I have looked into numerous other programs and attended camps and this is by far the best program I've found do far.

Are You Ready?

Listen. This book is it. Drop any program you are on and follow this book. It involves everything from weight training to proper conditioning and even adds plyometrics for the complete combination of power, strenght, speed, agility, and stamina. I've never gained more mass and strength in one year in my entire life. This tells you exactly what to do and when to do it. This is so intense I recommend finding a mentor or a lifting partner to follow this with you to keep motivated. If football is your life like it is mine, buy this and you will become a better athlete. Period.

This One's All That

Man, I can tell you, if you what a complete workout plan, this one's all that and more. Especially the first two weeks of the off-season, resistance training workouts, if you go maximally through those workouts like Ben Cook describes, you are going to be left at the end having to have some one else take your shirt off. I mean you are all messed up, but in a good way. This book was exactly what I needed. I'm on week 7 right now, (I started at the end of my high school football season) and I already feel bigger and stronger. Mr. Cook says that consistency is the key, and so far I havn't missed a workout. It seems to really be paying off I think. It'll pay off for you too I'll bet. GET THIS BOOK!

52-Week Football Training

This book was a great choice for me. I played football at the Division I level, but near the end of my college career I suffered an injury that hurt my chances as a pro prospect. After moving back into mainline strength training following my rehab phase, I found myself without a strength coach, so I ordered 52-Week Football Training to provide myself with a structured college/pro style training program. This book has it all, and the best part is that it is laid out day by day for an entire 365 days. So far the result are tremendous, and my body is back to it's old self. From here I hope to make it to the Canadian Football League and then with luck back to the NFL. If your on the edge, of choosing a training book for football conditioning and your looking for a great one, then 52-Week Football Training is IT!

best book for football trainig i ever read

This book is awesome, it is very detailed and goes along great w/my school schedule.Workouts are easy to understand. He made the workouts short and simple so your spending your whole day wondering how to excel football. Ben Cook gives it to straight and simple on how to be the best you can at football.Only one thing wrong he should've got more focused on nutrtion, alot of kids that start training dont know anything about training , and nutrtion. The training aspect in this book is great, but was looking for help in nutrition too, but overall book is excellent!
