Media Reviews

Mike and Bryan have created a book that combines scientific strength and conditioning research with the practical application to show why and how to train. The Nebraska strength and conditioning program is recognized as the best in the nation. This book explains why.

This is not a weightlifting book but rather a football performance must! Mike is one of the most respected authorities in our profession and has finally put his best thoughts on paper. Everyone regardless of level will get insight not only to practical drills and lifts but also important philosophical considerations.
