Mens Health Power Training: Build
Bigger, Stronger Muscles with
through Performance-based
Conditioning by Robert dos
Remedios MA CSCS
Power Training Book
One of the nation’s elite strength and conditioning coaches presents a
unique training program designed to help men achieve functional strength
and muscular balance throughout their bodies
For decades, the conventional measure of an individual’s strength was the
amount of weight he could bench press. Now, that measure is being
challenged by expert trainers like Robert dos Remedios who argue that the

variety of movement patterns used in functional training is the real key to
getting bigger, stronger, and more powerful. In Men’s Health Book of
Strength, this acclaimed collegiate strength and conditioning coach
describes in detail the methods he has used to develop hundreds of
Division I scholarship athletes, including several current NFL players.
The key features that make this book a standout in the fitness field include:
• exercises geared toward functional strength that can be utilized in real-
world situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture
• training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective
• compound, multijoint exercises that replace the less-effective isolation
exercises found in many fitness books
• no-nonsense dietary information utilizing a new and innovative food
pyramid developed by the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition that will
optimize strength gains, recovery, and physical progress
Personal Review: Mens Health Power Training: Build Bigger,
Stronger Muscles with through Performance-based Conditioning
by Robert dos Remedios MA CSCS
I have been using this book for a half a year and have seen amazing
results. I'm 35, and I started with no experience whatsoever. I could not
do a pushup, a pullup, a dip, or anything. I could only bench press 75
pounds. Since then, I can now bench full sets at 145, deadlift 235, do 40
chinups from a full hang to touching my thumbs to my shoulders (good
form-- most people do half chinups cause they're easier and they're more
interested in the number they do!). The improvements list goes on. My
bodyfat's gone from 28% to 14%, I've got lots of muscle to show for it, and
the improvements still seem to be accelerating.
This book is excellent for the intermediate and advanced level lifters. But
also, I feel that this book can be appropriate for a beginner if he or she
follows a few guidelines:
First, be serious and read all the supporting material, twice, before starting.
All the admonishments and caveats are there.

Second, Start off with a friend or partner who has also read the book. Help
each other with form, and a spot is always nice when the weight starts to
get heavy.
Third, do this at a gym with the proper racks, particularly for the leg
exercises.
And fourth, when things get a little more balance-intensive, start off with
light weights and learn the movements. With proper form, the exercises
that require a little more balance will be successful in just a week in every
case I've tried.
Buy this book if you intend to make health and fitness your new hobby.
