Product Description

Most traditional weight lifting programs are too general to benefit triathletes. This illustrated guide offers 60 exercises that build strength for swimming, biking, and running by replicating the muscle usage patterns specific to triathlon events. The exercises are organized by sport and muscle group, allowing triathletes to quickly find the best exercise for their unique training needs. Included are sample seasonal plans for each race distance, along with instructions on adapting training plans to individual needs that make it easy to develop a personal strength training program.

Valuable Resource5
This book is extremely helpful for putting together a well thought out strenght program to prepare for triathlon season. Not only does it provide a list of discipline specific exercises, but it also helps with the number of reps and the proper amount of weight. The best part of the book is the distance specific workout plans.

Target oriented strength training4
If you are serious with your triathlon training, no matter the distance you aim for, you need to do efficient workouts. The gym sessions are too often disregarded. Reading this book you will not only get knowledge on why you need strength training. You also get plans for what to do, and how.
