Publisher's Synopsis
"When you think of strength training, what comes to mind? You're likely imagining a bodybuilder-type physique, lifting hundreds of pounds over his or her head. While this is only one sub-sector of the strength training community, we're often inundated with images of people doing heavy squats, barbell pressing, and guys pumped up on steroids. Strength training is so much more than bodybuilding. In fact, it's important for everyone! Teenagers, in particular, have a lot to gain from weightlifting-and it isn't just muscle. A well-organized resistance training program provides a foundation for a healthy lifestyle into adulthood. It can also improve sports performance for youth athletes aiming to reach the next level"--.
