Fantastic. By far the most complete resource on the impact of volume in training adaptations. Very in-depth yet managing to stay practical. A must-read for serious coaches and athletes interested in sports science.

Another masterpiece by the RP Crew. A must read for a coach or fitness enthusiast.

The content is top notch, but I took away a star because I found the material too densely presented. I've been able to get through other RP books relatively more swimmingly, but found myself pausing to read between the lines in this one, despite its shorter length.

this book is excellent, it's concepts are made very simple to understand and the understanding you will gain about training is massive. would recommend this book to ANY person interested in optimising their training!

Short and precise guide on Maximum Recoverable Volume (MRV) and Minimum Effective Volume (MEV). Takes hypertropy as the focus but occasionally gives examples for strength training.
Very good for getting a good understanding of these fundamental concepts.

A little disappointed
Came over after reading Understanding Healthy Eating, which I highly recommend! Felt disappointed after reading this book because it is too repetitive or maybe I am just not the right target audience.

Great insights for beginners and young coaches
I was hoping for a little more detail on topics, but overall it gave a great framework for beginners and young coaches. Experienced coaches will find nuggets, but the framework was intended for those with a basic understanding of strength and conditioning
