This is simply the best Strength Training book out there for non-competitive athletes of any age. I am a 52 year old man and a CSCS (for what that's worth) with ten certifications and seminars under my belt (the Starting Strength Seminar was hands-down the best), and a voracious reader of health and fitness books. I have been using the principles and methods of Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength (SS) and Practical Programming for Strength Training (PPST) for my training for the better part of the last 10 years.Barbell Prescription combines the information found in SS and PPST while filtering out the information that only applies to high school/college football players and competitive powerlifers and Olympic lifters. It presents the novice Starting Strength program as well as the intermediate Texas Method with enough variants to apply to anyone of any age or experience level, and to provide for a lifetime of sequential programming (as opposed to random variety). A 20-30 year old could jump in on the baseline programs then refer to the age-related modifications as life dictates. Advanced programming is also discussed for those very few non-competitive athletes that may need it.The only exception to the above is the guy who wants a beach body. While these programs will pack on muscle, it will be go muscle, not show muscle, and washboard abs are not a consideration. Having said that, I don't think Sullivan, Baker, or Rippetoe would have an issue with someone doing a few sets of hanging leg raises, bicep curls or triceps extensions (lying triceps extensions are prescribed as an assistance exercise in some of the PPST programming and bicep curls are dicusssed in Barbell Prescription) for the sake of vanity after the heavy barbell work is done. Younger guys looking to train primarily for appearance may want to consider a hybrid strength/bodybuilding program such as Michael Matthews’ Bigger, Leaner, Stronger.Only one complaint; the authors go into great detail about the benefits of high intensity interval training (HIIT) over long slow distance (LSD) work for general conditioning, but they are skimpy on the details of how to optimally program HIIT. They just give a few examples of HIIT work/rest time intervals and some non-prescriptive figures of how conditioning could be formatted into a weekly strength program, but give no rationale and leave the details up to the coach or athlete.For an excellent approach to HIIT, check out Marty Gallagher and Chris Hardy’s “Burst Cardio†heart rate-based methodology that automatically adjusts to the athlete’s training and recovery status in their book Strong Medicine. Joel Jamieson has a ton of free cutting-edge conditioning info on his website, but unlike the authors of Barbell Prescription, he recommends 80% LSD and only 20% HIIT for general conditioning. The Starting Strength organization is known for its expertise in strength, not conditioning, so perhaps some outside assistance could help this section become a prescription (instead of general guidance) like the rest of the book.I will be enthusiastically recommending this book to my athletes, friends, and anyone else who asks me about training. Read it cover to cover (it’s ok to gloss over the dozen or so pages on bioenergetics and muscle fiber types), study the videos at the Starting Strength website, then seek out a qualified powerlifting coach to get you started. Speaking from experience, the vast majority of globo-gym personal trainers are clueless on the safe and effective performance of the lifts presented in this book.Starting Strength and Practical Programming for Strength Training belong on the bookshelves of every coach and trainer, but for the non-competitive layman, The Barbell Prescription has it all.
Two initial disclosures. First, I will never appear as a verified purchaser, as I ordered the book from the publisher directly so I could receive it sooner. Second, I am a trainee at Greysteel Gym and coached by Dr. Jonathan Sullivan. The following is my honest evaluation. There is no bias as a stellar review from me will undoubtedly not reduce the number of sets I have to do on Monday regardless.Nothing in this book will allow you to live longer. But do you want to live better? I can personally attest that the methodologies and science meticulously explained in this book will give you a chance at the latter. We have another trainee in our gym who is north of *90* years old. He could barely walk in when he started. Two weeks ago, for his 90th birthday (and this was a personal goal), he dead-lifted 100 pounds. I can think of no better real life testimonial to the precepts and prescriptions that are on offer in these pages.What will you get? The book is long. If you read a page every day, on a leap year, you would still need until January 2nd of the following year. This is not "bro-science". The endnotes run for 38 pages. Dr. Sullivan is a licensed M.D. and Starting Strength coach. If you want to understand the actual biological basis of getting stronger, this book is for you. If you want to understand the single best way to improve your odds of fighting off aging (though, again, not prolonging life), this book is for you. If you want to occasionally have a laugh or wry smile at the incisive writing and wit, this book is for you.The book is divided into three parts: Why, What and How.Why? Why should master athletes (those over 40) embark on an exercise program dominated by strength and weightlifting? Dr. Sullivan meticulously makes a case that is hard to argue with by the time you are done. This is not for the faint of heart. There is science here. Decisions are driven by data. While many fitness programs cherry pick an individual study, this book compares them across time and methodically. You are given a base understanding of cellular biology and how your body actually uses energy (anyone remember the Krebs Cycle from AP Biology?) However, while there is science, and lots of it, you are walked through with practical analogies and humor. There are no equations to master, but there are concepts to embrace.What? What exercises will maximize your gains? The guidelines here will be very familiar to anyone who has read the idiomatic tome on this, Mark Rippetoe's "Starting Strength". Rather than duplicating the detail found in that excellent book, "Barbell Prescription" summarizes the key points of the lifts. Crucially, Sullivan and Baker explain how to modify these exercises for masters athletes. For example, how do you deal with someone who cannot press due to a shoulder injury from decades ago? How do you modify the squat to allow progress when hip flexibility is compromised? What alternative exercises can you program and still allow strength to improve?How? Knowing what exercises to do is a matter of simple practice, but *training* requires their use in a disciplined and rational program based on manipulating the proper variables (whether volume or intensity) for the level of the athlete. Again, Mark Rippetoe has a more in-depth (though general) treatment of these topics in "Practical Programming for Strength". The insights of this book are how to apply programming for lifters in middle age and beyond. Volume is the enemy of age. One must focus on intensity. Familiar programs such as Starting Strength or the Texas Methods are adapted for the special challenges that the decline of our body's ability to repair itself impose.What is not so good in this book? I can only ascribe this to a miscommunication with the printer. However, half of the tables in the programming section are in the traditional notation (weight-reps by sets) and the other half are strangely reversed (weight-sets by reps). It is very confusing and detract from what is an otherwise outstanding book. My only other quibble is that I would have liked to see a bit more in the nutrition section. However, this is fundamentally a book on the exercises, and more importantly, why one should do them, than a topic that probably requires its own book to do it justice.In the end, I will leave you with the words of Dr. Sullivan himself on page 78, "I am a physician, and a physiologist, but most importantly, I am a Masters Athlete. The material in the last six chapters isn't just a nerdist or professional abstraction to me. It's personal. I have no intention of going quietly. I am committed to growing old with as much strength, vigor, and function as I possible can. I am to cling to every muscle cell, every bit of bone tissue, every inch of my range of motion, every iota of functional independence... for dear life."
