Anybody know anything about these books?


Charlie Francis Training System by Charlie Francis and Paul Patterson
Kinesiology of Exercise by Michael Yessis
Fundamentals of Strength Training by Verkoshansky (translated from Russian text)
Power by Fred "Dr. Squat" Hatfield

Also, I went to amazon to look up Science and Practice of Strength Training, its $43.50! Anyone know where it sells cheaply?

Charlie Francis is a pdf download for $16.99 at www.CharlieFrancis.com

Fundementals ($23)[and all the other Russian Translations] and Science and Practice ($37) are at Dave Tate's site www.elitefts.com. Dave usually knocks a couple of bucks off of the amazon price.

I wouldn't waste my money on the Yessis or the Hatfield books. I have seen the Yessis book in the bookstores...it's a turd. I have also purchased 3 different books by Yessis in the hopes that something of significance would jump out at me. There is better info in S & P than the Hatfield book.

Keep in mind that Mel Siff's Supertraining contains a great portion of all the Russian texts, Zatsiorsky, Louie, and many others in a little more understandable format although Dr. Siff could be a bit challenging as well. If you don't have this book. Get it first.
