In June, 1997 the second edition of "THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WEIGHT TRAINING" was published. It is one-third larger than the first edition, BUT SELLS FOR THE SAME PRICE! Major additions have been included in the "theory & practice", "body building", and "nutrition" sections of the book. This book presents cutting edge information on training theory and practice, weight training for general fitness, sport and body building, and nutritional support for weight training programs.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Dr. Paul E. Ward and Dr. Robert D. Ward are two well known experts in fitness, weight training and sports conditioning. They combine about one hundred years of experience and research with regard to weight training for males and females, young and old, and including general fitness to world class competitors.

Dr. Paul Ward is an former Marine officer who played football with the Detroit Lions, taught and coached football and track and field at five major universities, is five time National Champion in Master Olympic Lifting in the super-heavyweight classification (1983, 1984, 1986, 1987 and 1988) and was the World Master Olympic Lifting Champion in the super-heavyweight classification in 1988. Furthermore, he was Director of Education, Research and Development for the Health and Tennis Corporation of America from 1974-1989, now named Bally Health & Fitness nationwide. During that time period, HTCA grew from a $ 25,000,000 to a $ 800,000,000 company. Under his direction HTCA became known to be the leading edge in exercise programs and providing the most up-to-date exercise equipment and nutrition programs. In addition, he has coached and assisted many World Champions and record holders in a variety of sports, Olympic Champions and Olympians in Track and Field.

Dr. Robert Ward is an former Marine officer who was a university and college professor and coach but is best known for being the strength and conditioning coach for the Dallas Cowboys (1976-90) during the "glory years" of Coach Tom Landry.

He was also coach of Track and Field Olympians and is known for application of Martial Arts principles in sport.

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WEIGHT TRAINING is not like all the rest of the books dealing with weight training. This volume is a fresh approach to application of scientific and practical principles of weight training for sports, general fitness and bodybuilding. In addition, the last section of the Encyclopedia gives an excellent discussion of nutritional support of these weight training programs.

The information contained in the Encyclopedia of Weight Training presents the principles and practices that will enable anyone at any level of training to design and apply an effective weight training program. The particulars of how to perform specific exercises have purposely not been addressed in this volume because there are many books that have amply covered the specific exercise techniques. The focus of the ENCYCLOPEDIA is the synthesis of the science and theory of weight training integrated with practical observations derived from years of training and teaching all levels and motivations of people participating in weight training programs. The combined experience of the authors extends nearly one hundred years and they continue to remain as active researchers, coaches and participants in all dimensions of weight training and application of super-nutrition for general health, training and competition.

The ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WEIGHT TRAINING must be in your library as a reference and guide to weight training and nutrition for general fitness, bodybuilding, sport training and competition. This volume will take you from the basics, to training to be world champion in sport or bodybuilding. It is also valuable for the average person who needs a quick and valid source of information on weight training and nutrition.

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PURCHASE THIS BOOK FOR YOUR LIBRARY!
