Eric Cressey's cutting-edge four-phase program, featuring constant progression, variation, and inspiring goals, keeps you focused on increasing strength along with muscle mass, helping you achieve the fittest, most energetic, and best-looking body you've ever had-with fewer hours at the gym. Review: Get Stronger And More Mobile - Eric Cressey's "Maximum Strength Program" is a good, basic program for building raw strength and increasing joint mobility & health. As a Personal Trainer, what I found unique to this program is Mr. Cressey's emphasis on joint health and proper prep for heavy work. Too many other programs sold concentrate almost solely on the "lifting/exercise" portion alone and do not address the importance of soft tissue work and training in a balanced fashion. This is not one of those programs. It is scientifically sound, musculoskeletally balanced, and periodized for results. I hold two very minor differences with this book, one which is more programmatic and the other which is more business-oriented; neither of these personal differences are very meaningful however since they do not detract from the ability to attain significant strength gains in 16 weeks - hence the reason why I kept my review rating to 5 stars: 1.) Mr. Cressey's periodization model is much shorter in length than what I am accustomed to using with clients. He varies overall workload on a weekly basis, whereas I tend to vary such on a much longer block of time - typically 6 weeks, give or take 1-2 weeks depending. The short-block emphasis is good for more intermediate-to-advanced lifters who probably are not used to waving their intensity so drastically, while I have found the long-block emphasis good for beginners and those who really wish to hone in on certain fitness goals at certain times of the year. Those with orthopedic challenges may find that extending the block-lengths (from weekly to biweekly, monthly, or even a bit further) in the beginning will help to provide more time and room for postural corrections and rebalancing than just simply starting off with weekly variances. Again, not a big deal and there are many different training variations with which to work, but for those who find that a weekly undulation may feel a bit "harried" or rushed there are other methods of periodizing the program which can work as well. 2.) Just from a purely marketing standpoint, unless Mr. Cressey has plans of unveiling a "Maximum Strength For Females" book in the near future, I would like to state that despite the book's blatant emphasis on the male gender, this program is suitable for males OR females who wish to develop maximum raw strength. The references throughout the book to the male gender may have developed out of his experience that the vast majority of his clientele interested in maximum strength development are male, however keeping it so characteristically male-centered has probably been a turnoff to some potential female readers. To any females reading this review, please do not allow that to happen. This book will help you just as much as any man (if not more so given the average tendency of males to acquire and exhibit strength moreso than females). In conclusion, great job Mr. Cressey on a workable, intelligent approach to maximal strength training! 5 stars was easily deserved on this one. Review: Excellent Program! A Must Have for Anyone Serious About Gaining Strength - I'm new to strength training, and this book has helped me immensely. I was previously using the Strong Lifts 5x5 workout, but I injured myself due to lifting too much weight too soon for too long. This 16 week program is designed with rotating High Load, Medium Load, Very High Load, and Low Load weeks which has helped my strength to increase while lessening the risk of injury. The 2 alternating warm-up routines eliminated pain in my shoulders within a week. The warmups take me 20-25 minutes, but they make a huge difference in the amount of weight I'm able to lift without pain. I've had constant shoulder pain for the last 13 years because of 3 major shoulder separations during college. The combination of soft tissue work, stretches, mobilizations, and the strength routines themselves have done miracles for my shoulder pain, which is now non-existent! I have also struggled with terrible back pain throughout my life due to a 15mm leg length discrepancy. Since I've started using this program, my back pain is also getting better and my back is getting stronger. I just make sure I'm using my heal lift while squatting and dead-lifting. If you're looking for a strength program that will build functional strength and mobility for athletics or just for enjoying life, this is the program for you! ## Features - Weight training, strength, ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #771,966 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,770 in Nutrition (Books) #6,903 in Exercise & Fitness (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 206 Reviews | ## Images ![Maximum Strength: Get Your Strongest Body in 16 Weeks with the Ultimate Weight-Training Program - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kPptb6GBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get Stronger And More Mobile *by W***T on October 2, 2011* Eric Cressey's "Maximum Strength Program" is a good, basic program for building raw strength and increasing joint mobility & health.

A Must Have for Anyone Serious About Gaining Strength *by D***R on December 27, 2013* I'm new to strength training, and this book has helped me immensely.

You don't have to read many workout books to know that Eric Cressey's Maximum Strength is phenomenal, both for its content and workout programming. First off, the book has a complete section on proper warm-ups, nutrition for building strength, and then the actual exercises. Each exercise and warm-up comes with a picture, sometimes two, and a detailed explanation of how to perform the exercise. This is a comprehensive guide to getting in shape and healthy, not just what exercises to do. More on that though: this book breaks down exactly what you should do for each workout, down to the numbers of reps. This means you don't have to think about anything, you just follow the instructions. Given that recent research has shown that will power is a muscle like any other, not having to think too much is a valuable component of any program. I thought I knew how to warmup prior to reading this book, but the 1st time I did the warmup from this book and felt muscles move I didn't know I had, I realized I had not been warming up properly. The warmup does take 10 to 15 minutes, but you move so much better afterwards that you don't begrudge the time spent. I highly recommend just following the warmup section for anyone who has long-standing injuries. You might benefit as much from that as you do the actual exercises. I recommend this book if you like to workout but want to get stronger, are bored with your current routine, or want to learn more about weight-lifting in general. Oh and if you're not down with working out 4 times a week, which is what the plan calls for, check out Cressey's 'Show and Go' on his personal website; it has options for 2x a week up to 5x. ## Frequently Bought Together - Maximum Strength: Get Your Strongest Body in 16 Weeks with the Ultimate Weight-Training Program - New Functional Training for Sports - Strength Training Anatomy --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4126052-maximum-strength-get-your-strongest-body-in-16-weeks-ultimate](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4126052-maximum-strength-get-your-strongest-body-in-16-weeks-ultimate) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
