Additional New Rules of Lifting: Six Basic Moves for Maximum Muscle Information
|
A revolutionary method of weight lifting using today's science for maximum results.
In The New Rules of Lifting, fitness guru Lou Schuler and strength-training expert Alwyn Cosgrove boil down the most recent findings on weight lifting and fitness to create a program of workouts that focuses on the movements at which the body naturally excels. These six "real-life" movements-squat, bend, lunge, push, pull, and twist-compose three complete programs for three distinct goals: fat loss, muscle gain, and strength improvement.
At home or at the gym, these routines can be mixed and matched for a year's worth of workouts that will keep boredom at bay and lifters challenged long after most plans have called it quits. And while coordinated, useful muscles will always turn heads at the beach, they'll also help you live better and longer. Besides providing comprehensive workout programs, The New Rules of Lifting covers much-needed background on aspects of lifting that are often overlooked, like warming up, nutrition, and meal planning. Throughout, Schuler and Cosgrove debunk strength-training myths, troubleshoot dangerous pitfalls, and clearly illustrate moves with black-and-white photographs.

What Customers Say About New Rules of Lifting: Six Basic Moves for Maximum Muscle:

Nothing useful to a beginner or a pro. NO SCIENCE nor does the author quote any studies to support his exercises.Author is not an expert nor a real body builder. rowing). Lots of words. This book has very little useful information in it. It proposes a bunch of exercises based on "natural" everyday movements and discourages focused single muscle exercises or anything involving sitting (i.e. Co-author might be but is pretty uninvolved in writing the book.Big print.
But the book is to be read with common sense and skepticism liberally applied. In total this makes for boring reading and calls his competence into question in many areas. The book has some helpful exercises, but the prejudices of the author are given way too much ink. The author also spends too much time discussing his own contributions to the topic. However, there are some good exercises that could be done at home with free weights and some credible suggestions for training.
In a book with a clear and easy to read format, I learned a better way to enjoy lifting. Personally, the training program seems useful in breaking above current plateaus. I enjoyed the alternative viewpoint given in this book. I recommend New Rules for persons weary of the current (old) thought process on lifting.
I've been doing many of the protocols introduced in the book for many years and have had great success building muscle & strength and I'm 43. A definite read if your goal is to build muscle, strength or both and live a normal life - a job, family, school. As certified trainer and lifelong lifter I wanted to read the book since I respect Schuler's take on training - efficiency is better than volume. A common sense approach for all levels, novice to advanced.
I bought this book for a friend who was just starting out in the gym and wanted to know what the meat of his routine ought to be. Schuler's tone, style, and expertise are really why this book is a great place to start for beginning lifters. Highly recommended, especially for men over 30.
