"This book contains a comprehensive compilation of strength training methods that can be applied in training programs to achieve specific goals like improving strength, power, hypertrophy, endurance, flexibility, or cardiovascular capacity and to introduce variety or modifications into overall programming. The techniques are divided into those that develop muscular strength (intensification) and those that develop hypertrophy (accumulation) and are ranked by level of difficulty to provide the tools to target or diversify training as needed. The description for each training technique details how to apply the method, its effects on the development of strength or hypertrophy, and its advantages and disadvantages"--
