Got this book for Christmas (thanks in-laws) and slowly drew content from it over the next 2 months. I still read over it when in doubt or seeks my confirmation (I left sticky notes all over that bad boy). Literally contains all the content you were never taught on that poxy course you took to 'become a fitness professional'. Definitely worth reading if you're humble enough to accept you don't even know half of your profession
