The Functional Training Bible

Nice amount of information in a small book!

This book is well organised. Generally speaking it was written from a professional to other professionals. Explaining various exercise versions in all planes of motion. Just one small warning: this is not a presentation of countless equipment used in strength programming. It is all about the movement and that makes this book worth familiarize with.

I liked the ambitious scope of this book. Unfortunately however it wasn't pulled off. The book is disjointed and repetitive.It contains a broad range of exercises, but most of the unique content is content other books rule out (such as balancing weights above the head and balancing on medicine balls).I feel with some good structure and editing it could be a great book. It's just not there yet.

I'm a new personal trainer and this book is giving me a lot of great information. I'm glad I have it in my little home library.

Guido is a Bible himself, for what he knows, what he does, how he does it and for his passion and attention for every detail. If you personally know him you understand better what I am talking about...Thanks Guido!

Confusing. Good for learning individual exercises, but the programs are lacking. The programs speak about changing the exercise “pairs” and “groups.” But no pairs and groups are designated! Are these “pairs” supposed to be done as straight sets or back to to back? And what are they? Save your money.

Excellent training guide with endless ideas to make workouts more interesting. What I like the most is how many modalities (sandbag, kettle bells, free weights, exercise bands) are presented.

good needs more workout routine

Great book, as a PT I'm always looking for options for clients and bootcamps. This is the one with a lot of great options and alternatives to weights and gyms!

to be honest ,you have seen all of this before ,not much of a bible ,basic reference ,there are better books out there ,bit disappointment to be honest entry level stuff .

Master to have

Un'altra bella iniziativa di Bruscia, mi piacciono questi libri cosi puliti, con belle foto. Quando ti arriva sei contento di averlo preso e lo inizi a leggere avidamente. Sono un fan di Bruscia, ma devo anche dire che il libro è forse non adattissimo per spiegare tutta una serie di esercizi dinamici, tipici del functional training. Un dvd, o, meglio, una bella app. per tablet o smartphone, con video sarebbe il top. Sul modello di quello che ha fatto Steve Cotter .... Comunque un must have .... Dimenticavo, non sono riuscito a trovarlo in italiano e l'ho preso in inglese .... Curioso ...

Un très bon livre sur l'entrainement fonctionnel. Le sujet traité est complet : définition, théorie des sous-systèmes (appareil locomoteur, filières énergétiques, types et contractions musculaires, groupes et chaines musculaires, etc...). La 2ième partie est consacrée à la présentation de différents entrainements : exercices au poids du corps, l'entrainement avec Sandbag( sac de sable), le kettlebell et le medecine ball. Un livre concis, mais précis dans sa partie théorique. Je possède une demi douzaine de books sur ce sujet (cross-training, functional, crossfit, etc...). c'est mon préféré.
