There is a new revolution happening in sports as more and more athletes are basing their success on this game-changing combination: health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. Unfortunately, the evidence-based techniques that the expert PhDs, academic institutions, and professional performance staffs follow can be in stark contrast to what many athletes actually practice. When combined with the noise of social media, old-school traditions, and bro-science, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction.

Publisher's Summary
There is a difference between exercise and training. Exercise is physical activity for its own sake, a workout done for the effect it produces today, during the workout or right after you're through. Training is physical activity done with a longer-term goal in mind, the constituent workouts of which are specifically designed to produce that goal. Training is how athletes prepare to win, and how all motivated people approach physical preparation.
Practical Programming for Strength Training - 3rd Edition addresses the topic of training. It details the mechanics of the process, from the basic physiology of adaptation to the specific programs that apply these principles to novice, intermediate, and advanced lifters.

Do not purchase
Should absolutely NOT purchase this audio book. The content is legitimate, intelligent, and understood. I have an MS in Exercise Physiology and am CSCS certified, and I was listening while driving a trip. I figured I could pick up a few things listening and refresh a few concepts, as good professionals should often do. However, throughout the book, it’s admittedly stated that “those of you that care to see the table should buy the hardback copy of the book.” How about being a professional author and caring instructor through providing a PDF file for your audible readers as opposed to the lack of information provided in tables and graphics. Novels all over audible provide PDFs with important tables and information, and the fact that this book does not do so is extremely disappointing. I was hoping for more.

Extremely biased, but some good info
Much of this book should be taken with a grain of salt, including his oddly discriminatory views on cardio and endurance training and literally saying "health is not of concern, strength is", as if the two are mutually exclusive. That being said, this also has a lot of great information on strength programming and progressive overloading. This book, in conjunction with "starting strength" are necessities for anyone looking to get started in or up their game with strength training properly. Could go without Mark's sarcasm and dismissive tone about anything that doesn't agree with his ideas, but overall a good book to have and go over from time to time.

A must-read for anyone with a body
This book should be required reading for students taking Physical Education classes in high school, or at the very least college.
Such incredible insights and knowledge. I began applying the training as soon as I could and have seen tremendous results.
Now my brother and a friend are both following the program and seeing incredible results as well. And my brother, who went to school for exercise science is even impressed with the results.
Read this and apply it!

Good when paired with the physical book.
I purchased this book after reading Starting Strength. My favorite thing is that Mark Rippetoe is an excellent reader and makes for an easy listen. My least favorite thing about him is that he often rips on the ACSM, sometimes to the extent that he detracts from his overall point (This happened in the beginning of the book where he explained the ACSM physical activity guidelines) Aside from his palpable negative opinions of the ACSM, the content is clearly organized and beneficial to anyone approaching the intermediate state of their lifting career (that is why i chose this book)
I have 2 copies of this book, one paperback and one audio. I have found this works well for me so I can listen while driving and review while at home. The audio book isn’t able to express the graphics and charts as well as the paperback so its worth the extra cost if you are interested in the programming.

Amazing book
This book was exactly what I was looking for regarding strength training. No BS, scientific, and also experienced based observations and facts about how to build strength for sports performance, or for the person who just wants to get stronger and may be confused about all the literature and hype that’s out there. Get this book, read it, understand it, apply it, and never look book.
