The most important rule of effective training is to be consistent. However, it is surprisingly easy, and human, to break this rule. Training wisdom is about recognizing and prioritizing the most important training principles and not getting distracted by secondary issues.
In The Little Black Book of Training Wisdom, Dr Dan Cleather - an elite strength and conditioning coach - describes the fundamental training principles in a simple and accessible way. In addition, he highlights some of the most common training pitfalls so they can be avoided. The book is a must for anyone who wants to learn how to build dominant athletic prowess by working smarter not harder.
