I highly recommend The Science of Strength Training. It's a
comprehensive, actionable, and easy-to-understand handbook for new
and experienced weightlifters alike. Worth ten times the price.

Leaner Stronger
I am blown away with the quality of this book! From the photos,
diagrams, and text. This is truly the resource for both coaches and
those trying to understand the science of lifting more. The perfect
resource for learning what exercises target what muscles, how to
execute them, and how to train for your goals. Austin's book is an
incredible resource for anyone interested in fitness and
lifting. -- Alyssa Olenick, Ph.D.(c), CISSN, Researcher &
Coach
Austin Current's Science of Strength Training is a great
read for both beginners and advanced trainees alike. Far too often
people head into the gym without a clear understanding of the
physiology behind the process in which they are engaged. Austin
does a great job of breaking down the complex science behind weight
training while making it understandable for everyone and ensuring
practical applications every step of the way. I can't recommend it
enough. -- Cliff Wilson, author of Bodybuilding: The Complete
Contest Preparation Handbook and 13x World Champion Natural
Bodybuilding Coach
Austin has done an incredible job on putting together the
Science of Strength Training. He's found the perfect balance of
laying it out in a way that will benefit both the average gym-goer
who just loves to train and the more dedicated coach or trainer who
has a deeper understanding of the science side of things. I
honestly couldn't recommend this book enough, and I will be using
it as a reference for both my online and in-person clients and for
the coaches and trainers I help out along the way. -- Danny
Kennedy, Personal Trainer & Host of The Fitness & Lifestyle Podcast
