Does it really matter if you use free weights or Smith machines?

FROM Sports Performance Bulletin TO You

Sport Fitness Training:

“All the sports conditioning information you need to compete faster, stronger – and for longer…”

Dear Sports Performance reader,
Once upon a time, simply playing and practicing your sport was considered more than adequate for developing sport performance.
Not any more…
The sports science revolution of the last 20 years has ensured that, whatever your sport or the level you compete at, maximising your sport fitness is absolutely essential for achieving your true potential this year.
So my latest special report – Advanced Fitness Training – for elite sports performance – brings together the latest sports science findings across a range of sports training fronts. These breakthroughs are (or should be!) revolutionising the way sportsmen and women train for sport.
Reserve your copy today at a special discount price (more on that later) and you’ll quickly find out how you can build more power, more strength, more speed and more endurance so that you can perform faster, stronger and longer!
