Scientific Principles of Strength Training
In Scientific Principles of Strength Training we have created one of the most comprehensive resources available on the topic of building strength.
Checking in at nearly 400 pages, Scientific Principles is co-authored by Dr. Mike Israetel (author of The Renaissance Diet), Dr. James Hoffmann (Exercise Science Professor at Temple University) and Chad Wesley Smith (Top 10 Raw Powerlifter of All-Time). This trio of authors has given Scientific Principles a unique combination of scientific and practical knowledge, not found in any other text.
Topics Covered
In depth definitions of important strength training and programming terms. Nuanced discussions of the following foundational training principles and how they can influence your training and program design:
- Specificity
- Overload
- Fatigue Management
- SRA
- Variation
- Phase Potentiation
- Individual Differences
- Various powerlifting periodization schemes and their strengths/weaknesses

Scientific Principles goes far beyond just giving you sets and reps to use for a few weeks or months, rather it will empower you with knowledge to create effective training programs and make informed answers to tough training problems for a lifetime.
Customer Reviews
I bought this book in paperback form and the print is like a light gray at best. It’s so light I can barely even read it. And every page was like that. Awesome book. Would like a copy that I don’t need a magnifying glass and a spotlight on to be able to read it though
