that this book gets such great reviews is proof of how little the general public knows about weight training. many of the pictures and instructions for lifts is wrong, which is potentially dangerous. among the worst is the power clean which shows an atrocious way to set up, and a dangerous way to catch. deadlift setup is also wrong.but nothing compares to the idiotic way the authors treat the squat. recommending athletes to engage in qtr and half squats is at irresponsible and possibly negligent. its far more dangerous than a full squat (do a force diagram) and does very little in the way of building strength bc the muscles are not stretched to the proper extent to force an adaption.if you want weightlifting advice, i would suggest getting it from powerlifting or olympic lifting books.
