Description
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 real-world situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture
Training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective
Compound, multi-joint exercises that replace the less-effective isolation exercises found in many fitness books
No-nonsense 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

EFFECTIVE!!!!
I've read and practiced many styles of training, also varied different body types based on my current training regimen over years. I have to say this is the first fitness book I have read in a long time that has hit every point clearly. More importantly, a highly effective method of training with the key word, functional. Completely tears down the barrier of traditional split routine workouts which you see 90% of a gym participating in (unless you're an athlete). I have power trained prior to reading this book, however this book helped put my training to a higher level. Plus this is the first power training book I've noticed with great clarification on the subjects. At first I was skeptical because it was a Men's Health promo in which the magazine to me is a little to basic and mainstream. But was blown away by the contents this book provided. Def recommend!
