Book excerpt: The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40 directly addresses the most pervasive problem faced by aging humans: the loss of physical strength and all its associated problems - the loss of muscle mass, bone mineral loss and osteoporosis, hip fractures (a terminal event for many older people), loss of balance and coordination, diabetes, heart disease related to a sedentary lifestyle, and the loss of independence. The worst advice an older person ever gets is, Take it easy. Easy makes you soft, and soft makes you dead. The Barbell Prescription maps an escape from the usual fate of older adults: a logical, programmed approach to the hard work necessary to win at the extreme sport of Aging Well. Unlike all other books on the subject of exercise for seniors, The Barbell Prescription challenges the motivated Athlete of Aging with a no-nonsense training approach to strength and health - and demonstrates that everybody can become significantly stronger using the most effective tools ever developed for the job.

Book excerpt: BONUS: Buy the Paperback Version from Amazon and Get FREE Access to the Kindle Version If you've encountered plateaus with your current strength training program and you can't seem to get over this slump no matter what you do, then keep reading... What's your max squat? How much ya bench? What's your best deadlift? Can you press your bodyweight? Today, pushing quantifiable expressions of strength, like your maxes, is becoming increasingly ubiquitous. However, though strength may be specific, real strength is much more than a powerlifting total - it's about resilience, capability and adaptability. It's survival of the fittest after all, not the strongest. But most strength training programs emphasize mastering only one factor of strength - technicality via neuromuscular efficiency, which happens to be the least transferable factor of strength too. There are other factors of strength that should be trained, which offer more carryover to other sports as well as to other aspects of life. In fact, your training should be specific to you, and it should be dependent on your training advancement, goals and weaknesses. Yet I see many strength enthusiasts make the same mistake I once made Get addicted to the simplicity of beginner linear progression programs and try to run them forever. But proper training doesn't have to be complicated; you can continue to have simple programming as you enter the intermediate and advanced stages of your lifting career. With my simple yet revolutionary 4-step training system, train all factors of strength at the same time and become a stronger, better and more confident you. Referencing some of the best powerlifting and strength coaches, discover: What your training advancement is according to a comprehensive classification chart compiled from 5 different coaches, and how to correct your training so that it matches your real experience level (pg. 61) What to prioritize at each training advancement, and why most of you should not be fixated on either technical mastery or periodization (pg. 74) How to properly autoregulate your training using RPE according to its founder, champion powerlifter and renowned powerlifting coach, Mike Tuchscherer (pg. 110) What you know about volume is WRONG: Discover how to properly measure and regulate training volume according to 2 experts, a champion powerlifter and an Olympic coach (pg. 112) What real strength entails and, contrary to Mark Bell's claim that strength is never a weakness, how and when strength is a weakness (pg. 8) The most important training variable no one talks about, and 2 equally important ones that are forgotten (ignore these and you will never reach your potential) (pg. 121, 125) Why exercises like the deadlift are great for displaying strength, but aren't the best for developing strength (and what the best exercises for developing strength actually are!) (pg. 135) Why you can benefit from dropping the overhead press from your strength training arsenal, according to Glenn Pendlay, Dr. Mike Israetel, and more (pg. 153) What the greatest indicator of strength is, and how to best develop it according to evidence-based researchers who squat well over 600 lbs (pg. 41) Whether you are a novice running Starting Strength or are a seasoned powerlifter with over 400 Wilks, you too can benefit from reading this book. With observations from Mark Rippetoe, Chad Wesley Smith, Greg Nuckols, and more, you will find both practical and theoretical advice on how to take your training to the next level.

We start out with a thorough examination of your weak points because that''s how quality coaching works. The idea is to show you what to program, and when, based on your weaknesses in the squat, bench press, and deadlift. This sounds simple, but it''s something most people don''t even consider, much less put into practice. From there, the 10/20/Life system takes you through the best injury-preventative warm-up in the industry, followed by a comprehensive layout of coaching cues for each individual lift. From start to finish, you''ll learn what to look for and what to do, and you''ll learn the reasoning behind all of it. By the time you''re finished working your way through these materials, you''ll be able to coach yourself, and others, like a pro." Learn to be your own coach, attack your weaknesses and utilize a proven philosophy that is a guide to permanent success. This book includes a comprehensive WEAK POINT CHART and WARM-UP INDEX that teach you how to assess your own training and PRESCRIBE THE EXERCISES YOU NEED. 20 YEARS OF RESEARCH AND TRIALS distilled into a program you can actually use!

Download or read book How to Powerlift written by Story Ninjas and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-03 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ATTENTION ASPIRING POWERLIFTERS:If you want to start powerlifting, but don't know where to startWhen you buy this book you'll learn. - The problem with most programs- The solution to get the biggest bang for your buck- An introduction to the three main lifts: Squat, Bench, and Deadlift- The critical benefits of Powerlifting For many people, getting into training is hard. There are no two ways around this. You might be someone who has never set foot in a gym before. You may even be someone who has never considered how their current lifestyle can affect vital things such as posture, metabolism and eating habits. This lifestyle can result in low energy, little patience and little motivation to then finish a 9-5 shift and drive across town on a rush hour and hit a gym for a difficult and draining session. For the people who are in this situation they may find themselves in a position where they have the 9-5 job, followed by a school run, then a family meal so that they simply can not make the time to get themselves to the gym. The people with lifestyles such as this who do manage to make it to a gym are then most in need of finding a way to make every minute count. Without knowing how to best use your time, you may find yourself unsure of what to do. You want to get stronger and fitter, but you end up spending the majority of the time on cardio machines or doing exercises for muscles in isolation, rather than compound movements which could help your overall issues such as posture and strength. You manage to stick with this routine for a year and enjoy the 'escape' offered by the gym from everyday life is pleasant but you still don't see the changes you want, you're still lateral raising the same weights as 8 months previously. As a result you find yourself losing motivation to go even more so. You may be the type of person who wants to get stronger but only knows how to train for looks. You may result in looking better but not actually feeling or being stronger. This is normally fine, but if we go back to the example of the office worker who needs posture and lifestyle improvements, you may need to add in some more specific strength work. Focusing on the wrong things in the gym, or not making it to the gym at all can result in simple, everyday tasks becoming difficult. Try to pick something up off of the floor and then assess how you did it. Did you pick it up like you were taught to in your health and safety seminars in work? Or did you just bend down haphazardly with your heels raised and next to no balance involved? If it was more like the latter then you may need to focus on the proper movements (the squat, the deadlift, etc). You may think this doesn't affect your everyday life, but imagine picking your child up off of the floor, getting yourself off the couch or toilet, or even, carrying your shopping home. Better movements and strength will help with these everyday tasks. Now that you've agreed that you can use a plan to get you stronger you decide to aim for your favorite strength athlete and follow their routine. You try it, you get a little stronger at first, but then you find yourself fatigued and not enjoying it. You may even find yourself struggling to fit it all in. The fact is, if you're a beginner you do not need fancy movements or workouts that push the gym's opening times to the limits. What you need is to focus on the basics, and get incredibly good at them. However, a bad training plan could result in you becoming demotivated and see you leaving it all behind. The Solution Powerlifting. Powerlifting focuses upon the increase of strength in the body but also in the mind. In this book you'll learn to: -Improve your posture -Get stronger -Move better -Feel better -Build muscle -Lose fat -Develop better habits -Increase focus -Boost confidence
