Description
This book is about the practical act of WRITING STRENGTH PROGRAMS, an activity that many people do on a daily basis and that forms a component of their professional services. The content for this book was developed over thirty years of practical personal experience in strength training, studying the art and science of strength training, and professional experience in writing strength programs.
In brief it was written from practical experience for people who wanted to know practical guidelines of HOW TO WRITE Strength Training Programs. There are many fine texts available about the science of writing strength training programs – not so many about the practice of writing these programs.
This is how the book is presented. It is broken into three parts. Part A takes you, point by point, through the steps you should consider when writing a strength training program. When you come upon a step that you would like further information or clarity on, you will find it in Section B. Part B is a summary of the variables and related issues in strength training programs. It is arranged alphabetically for ease of reference. Part C provides samples of how I write strength programs. If you want further information on the exercises used in these and other examples throughout this book, refer to the partner text How To Teach Strength Training Exercises.
This book covers every aspect of strength training program design. It walks you throug how to design strength training programs using a 35 step model.
Note that this book was first published in 1998, and we will leave you, the reader, to resolve any thoughts about books published since then with the same or similar content.
How to Write Strength Training Programs really is what the sub-title says – a practical guide for coaches and athletes. It provides the reader with a unique insight into the theories and methods Coach King uses when he write strength training program. We have also found that non-coaches, those serious about designing their own training programs – have found value in this book.
What others have said
I am not a strength coach or even a personal trainer. The only person I train is myself. However, with the knowledge gained from your book How To Write Strength Training Programs, I feel I could do a better job than most of the trainer’s in the gyms in my area.

Without doubt this is the best book ever written on the subject of writing strength training programs. Virtually everyone who reads strength training books is ultimately looking for just this – how to put a good program together. I’ve read most of the top books around today but yours is by FAR the best – it is practical, something we can actually use for ourselves instead of just being told what to do by someone. I love it! —Jonathon
