Examine Mens Health Power Training: Build Bigger, Stronger Muscles Through Performance-Based Conditioning Conveyed By Robert Dos Remedios Presented In Ebook
no nonsense and effective,
It makes me scream to see teenage boys obsessed with the bench press ! All the variations on this book have become my training life.
Awesome book. I need a hug. THis book was mean to me! Yes it may be a practical guide to gyming and yes it might make me more efficient but I am also really achy when I am done.
Yowzers.
good guide. worth the buy! After beating myself up with the grueling routine the Governator prescribes in Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding, I wanted a routine that was more focused on building functional strength over making pretty muscles.
The size and strength gains I was getting with Arnold's routine were nice, but the routine took a long time and was incredibly tiring, especiallydays a week.
I found this book on Amazon, gave it a once over, and bought it, I've cut the time it takes me to do my routine in half, and I'm getting a complete body work out instead of isolating muscles.
On top of having an easy to use system that consists of a menu of exercises that are used with either a fullbody or push pull routines, it's got HIIT workouts, various complexes to
bring in a bit of extra cardio training into the lifting workout, diet information, as well as quick and ontheroad workouts.
It's a very complete book, I'm very happy with it, A barbellbased, no nonsense training program, Remedios focuses on major lifts, Builds the workouts on explosive, pull, push, abs movements,
His program has ',,day' options and also temporary, 'on the road', beginner etc, bonuses. If you selectday split, the exercises are also split into unilateral one legged, armed and bilateral versions,week Macro cycle is broken down toweek periods, You keep the types of exercises the same but shift the volume, Always insets. Clearly focusing on power, there are 'hypertrophy', 'strength' and 'pure power' leaning macros, He advises to alternate between pure power and othereveryweeks,
As you can tell, one can easily fill an entire year with this book, Just ensure you have at least a solid hour,times a week, This is not a short burst program,
The book offers a good variety of exercises for every type and you build your set choosing among them so it doesn't get boring.
Illustrations are good. Don't let Men's Health branding fool you, Remedios is a serious coach with a good record of alethic training,
minor flaws:
The cover picture is more of a body builders than a power trainer, A little misleading.
It is strictly barbell specific so choose empty hours if you are using a gym, You'll need to invade those cages for the entire workout,
This book is so, so! I just bought it to see a few of the multimovement bar exercises like, snatches, clean and jerks, etc.
. . If you have never done real workouts then you should get this book, Machines and bench press don't count as real, Coach Dos has a new follower, Yes, this is a Men's Health book, but dos Remedios has yet to write anything for women, You can watch him on youtube to get an idea of how fun and intense these workouts are, The best thing of all is that he's anti singlemuscle isolation, Reallife function rarely includes that kind of movement, As I reflect on my past experience, I can see that my favorite and most effective workouts rarely included isolation the Pilates reformer and The Firm workout.
Actual ./One of the nation's elite strength and conditioning coaches presents a unique training program designed to help men achieve functional strength and muscular balance throughout their bodies
For decades, the conventional measure of an individual's strength was the amount of weight he could bench press.
Now, that measure is being challenged by expert trainers like Robert dos Remedios who argue that the variety of movement patterns used in functional training is the real key to getting bigger, stronger, and more powerful.
In Men's Health Power Training, this acclaimed collegiate strength and conditioning coach describes in detail the methods he has used to develop hundreds of Division I scholarship athletes, including several current NFL players.
The key features that make this book a standout in the fitness field include:
exercises geared toward functional strength that can be utilized in realworld situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture
training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective
compound, multijoint exercises that replace the lesseffective isolation exercises found in many fitness books
nononsense dietary information utilizing a new and innovative food pyramid developed by the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition that will optimize strength gains, recovery, and physical progress.
