That tradition continues in his third edition of Jim Stoppani’s Encyclopedia of Muscle & Strength.

Packed with an impressive 380+ exercises and nearly 140 programs, this comprehensive encyclopedia of training will guide you in helping your clients maximize muscle mass, strength, and fat loss. Breaking down the latest science and research, this reference defines more than 130 key terms and concepts; evaluates 95 types of strength training equipment, including suspension trainers, BOSU balance trainers, and kettlebells; and provides nutritional goals for specific training outcomes. You’ll be prepared to help your clients find success with
  • 7 programs for maximizing fat loss,
  • 41 programs for building muscle mass,
  • 27 programs for maximizing strength, and
  • handy Quick Tips featuring snippets of Stoppani’s expert advice on exercise technique.
Beginner, intermediate, and advanced program options are available for each training objective and incorporate exercises that target 13 muscle groups. Programs are rated according to workout duration, the projected time frame for achieving measurable results, level of difficulty, and overall effectiveness.

Once you complete the course and pass the exam, you can print a certificate for continuing education credits.
