Practical Programming for Strength Training

There is a difference between Exercise and Training.

Exercise is physical activity for its own sake, a workout done for the effect it produces today, during the workout or right after you're through.

Training is physical activity done with a longer-term goal in mind, the constituent workouts of which are specifically designed to produce that goal.

Practical Programming for Strength Training 3rd Edition addresses the topic of Training.

It details the mechanics of the process, from the basic physiology of adaptation to the practical application of training principles.
