When buying books on physical training or martial arts, there’s only one thing I demand: does the author have actual years of experience to know what he’s saying? In that singular aspect, K. Black sets himself apart with his incredibly useful book, ‘Tactical barbell: Definitive Strength Training for the Operational Athlete’—this book just blew my mind away and changed the way I perform, plan and actually train.To put it simply, ‘Tactical Barbell’ is the culmination of the author’s decades of experience in the military and federal law enforcement—that’s why the book contains intensive barbell training usually performed by soldiers, SWAT members, firefighters or anyone who has to always be on top of their physical game, if not better. Moreover, the book is written in a friendly, intimate manner—author Black generously shares his own life experiences and tips that is inspiring and deeply motivating. It can even be entertaining—the author’s experience in highly intense, risky situations can drop your jaws.But make no mistake—while this book is specifically best for those what the author calls “operational athletes” (people in the military or law enforcement fields who obviously need sustained strength and endurance during physically demanding operations), anyone who is interested to up their physical fitness training can benefit from this book in a huge way—author K. Black’s potent blend of insider military knowledge and years of field experience and training are what make this book the ultimate resource.And perhaps the best part is that you don’t train blindly: the book also provides a strength testing component that enables you to know if you have actually enhanced your strength, and by how much. These definite answers are what make a good strength training book truly indispensable.Let me suffice it to say that anyone who engages in physical training in any way NEEDS this book—this sets you on the right path, the best path, to increase your strength significantly. Highly recommended, ‘Tactical Barbell’ is a strength training gem in its own class—a book that gets our enthusiastic two thumbs up for its comprehensiveness, and for giving that extra helpful insider’s information.
