The Complete Guide to Navy Seal Fitness
- The "Hypoxic Swim Training" exercises aren't supposed to be done alone--in case you pass out. That should give you a wee taste of how hardcore this fitness program is. But then again, the SEALs' bodies are also quite hard, and author Stewart Smith is no exception--his calves, thighs, and biceps are roughly the same gigantic girth. A graduate of the United States Naval Academy and the man in charge of training the Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL candidates, he presents here an ultraintensive 12-week program that's designed to help you pass the Navy SEAL fitness test. That's no small feat: SEALs are required to be able to swim 6 miles, run 15 miles, and do 150 pull-ups, 400 push-ups, and 400 sit-ups.
The book is packed with supremely clear step-by-step photographs with accompanying explanations that won't leave you guessing whether you're doing anything wrong. That's a good thing, too, because it would be easy to get confused with the seven types of sit-ups in the abdominal section. The workout's designed to be done without requiring a gym membership, although you will need a chin-up bar and swimming pool to complete the entire workout.

Science and Practice of Strength Training
- A reader writes: Excellent book exploring many facets of strength training.
The author has an extraordinary grasp of both the theory and practice of strength training. It is not, however, for those frightened of a bit of science. One of the more enlightening aspects is his explanation of the relationship between force and speed and the consequences of coaches failing to understand that relationship.
Zatsiorsky has a depth of knowledge related to the strength requirements for many sports and activities gained from his many years experience in the former Soviet Union.
This is probably the best book I have yet read relating to strength training.
