Download or read book Men of Kent written by Rick Rinehart and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men of Kent is, first and foremost, an archetypical sports tale—a story of the improbable happening to the unlikely, unfolding against the backdrop of a turbulent era. Both an homage and a unique inside look at the fast-growing sport of rowing, it embraces the sport’s history, traditions, and culture as it tells the story of ten ordinary boys and their coach from Kent, Connecticut, who found themselves in extraordinary circumstances during the spring and summer of 1972. The KentSchool’s 1972 crew, of which the author was a part, had a 46-0 winning streak, broke three course records, and claimed a national championship. In its final race, at the fabled Henley Royal Regatta in England—a race broadcast on television worldwide—it barely edged the Canadian National Champions. Kent’s achievement merited a banner headline in the New York Times sports section, and is regarded as one of the most breathtaking finishes in Henley’s long history.

Download or read book Scrawny to Swole written by Reese Dockrey and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SCRAWNY GUYS! If you're tired of being skinny (or skinny-fat) and you want to know how to bulk up fast and pack on muscle safely and cheaply, keep reading. Even if you're unathletic, you have an ultra-fast metabolism, you're past your prime, or if you've tried lifting weights before but didn't get the gains you were promised. You can absolutely get big and strong. That's exactly what fitness enthusiast Reese Dockrey did after age 30. Despite being a life-long "hardgainer," he did his research and learned how to overcome his scrawny genetics and get shredded. Using the latest scientific developments, plus his own incredible true story, Dockrey will guide you through the steps of bulking (healthy overeating), strength training (turning those extra calories into muscle), and cutting (eliminating the fat and leaving behind a jacked, athletic body). The process is simple: you can do it with quick workouts, an inexpensive diet, plenty of "cheat meals," and minimal supplements. However, it's complicated enough that you do need to learn some things before you start bulking up. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS BOOK: *Understand your body type, genetics, and muscle-building potential *Know whether you should cut before you bulk *Bulk with the optimal number of calories so you don't gain more weight than necessary *Know how fast you should gain weight and muscle (and how to track your gains) *Understand your macros: protein, fat, and carbs *Eat the right foods ("clean bulking") so you build muscle and don't create new health issues *Critical bulking hacks and high-calorie shake recipes for "hard gainers" with small appetites *Tips for bulking on a budget or out of a dorm room *How to cut bodyfat without losing muscle *Understand the process of building muscle and the different ways to do it *Choose the right workout program for you, and join a gym or build your own *Know which lifts to use, how to do them safely, and how to recover from each workout *Track your workout progress and troubleshoot when a program isn't working *Stay motivated when the going gets tough *And so much more! Chances are, you've already done a little research about bulking, and you probably noticed that the experts don't agree on much: how many calories to eat, which foods are healthier, which lifting program is best, and so on. Then there's the snake oil salesmen promising you can "gain 20 pounds of muscle and zero fat!" Obviously, the fitness world is a confusing place. This book is different; it will give you the facts (backed by science) and not a one-size-fits-all approach. You'll learn all the various options available to you based on your unique physical traits, personal goals, and finances. After reading it, you'll be armed with the knowledge you need to transform your body from scrawny to swole; from skinny-fat to jacked; from tall and lanky to filled-out and imposing. Consider Thomas Jefferson's advice: "If you want something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've never done." For you, that means it's time to bulk up. Let my book be your guide; your Sherpa to the mountain top. The view at the top is worth it!

Download or read book Iron John written by Robert Bly and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2004-07-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this deeply learned book, poet and translator Robert Bly offers nothing less than a new vision of what it is to be a man.Bly's vision is based on his ongoing work with men and reflections on his own life. He addresses the devastating effects of remote fathers and mourns the disappearance of male initiation rites in our culture. Finding rich meaning in ancient stories and legends, Bly uses the Grimm fairy tale "Iron John," in which the narrator, or "Wild Man," guides a young man through eight stages of male growth, to remind us of archetypes long forgotten-images of vigorous masculinity, both protective and emotionally centered.Simultaneously poetic and down-to-earth, combining the grandeur of myth with the practical and often painful lessons of our own histories, Iron John is a rare work that will continue to guide and inspire men-and women-for years to come.

Download or read book The End of Men written by Hanna Rosin and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential reading for our times, as women are pulling together to demand their rights— A landmark portrait of women, men, and power in a transformed world. “Anchored by data and aromatized by anecdotes, [Rosin] concludes that women are gaining the upper hand." –The Washington Post Men have been the dominant sex since, well, the dawn of mankind. But Hanna Rosin was the first to notice that this long-held truth is, astonishingly, no longer true. Today, by almost every measure, women are no longer gaining on men: They have pulled decisively ahead. And “the end of men”—the title of Rosin’s Atlantic cover story on the subject—has entered the lexicon as dramatically as Betty Friedan’s “feminine mystique,” Simone de Beauvoir’s “second sex,” Susan Faludi’s “backlash,” and Naomi Wolf’s “beauty myth” once did. In this landmark book, Rosin reveals how our current state of affairs is radically shifting the power dynamics between men and women at every level of society, with profound implications for marriage, sex, children, work, and more. With wide-ranging curiosity and insight unhampered by assumptions or ideology, Rosin shows how the radically different ways men and women today earn, learn, spend, couple up—even kill—has turned the big picture upside down. And in The End of Men she helps us see how, regardless of gender, we can adapt to the new reality and channel it for a better future.

Download or read book For the Love of Men written by Liz Plank and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nonfiction investigation into masculinity, For The Love of Men provides actionable steps for how to be a man in the modern world, while also exploring how being a man in the world has evolved. In 2019, traditional masculinity is both rewarded and sanctioned. Men grow up being told that boys don’t cry and dolls are for girls (a newer phenomenon than you might realize—gendered toys came back in vogue as recently as the 80s). They learn they must hide their feelings and anxieties, that their masculinity must constantly be proven. They must be the breadwinners, they must be the romantic pursuers. This hasn’t been good for the culture at large: 99% of school shooters are male; men in fraternities are 300% (!) more likely to commit rape; a woman serving in uniform has a higher likelihood of being assaulted by a fellow soldier than to be killed by enemy fire. In For the Love of Men, Liz offers a smart, insightful, and deeply-researched guide for what we're all going to do about toxic masculinity. For both women looking to guide the men in their lives and men who want to do better and just don’t know how, For the Love of Men will lead the conversation on men's issues in a society where so much is changing, but gender roles have remained strangely stagnant. What are we going to do about men? Liz Plank has the answer. And it has the possibility to change the world for men and women alike.

Download or read book Becoming a Man written by P. Carl and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “scrupulously honest” (O, The Oprah Magazine) debut memoir that explores one man’s gender transition amid a pivotal political moment in America. Becoming a Man is a “moving narrative [that] illuminates the joy, courage, necessity, and risk-taking of gender transition” (Kirkus Reviews). For fifty years P. Carl lived as a girl and then as a queer woman, building a career, a life, and a loving marriage, yet still waiting to realize himself in full. As Carl embarks on his gender transition, he takes us inside the complex shifts and questions that arise throughout—the alternating moments of arrival and estrangement. He writes intimately about how transitioning reconfigures both his own inner experience and his closest bonds—his twenty-year relationship with his wife, Lynette; his already tumultuous relationships with his parents; and seemingly solid friendships that are subtly altered, often painfully and wordlessly. Carl “has written a poignant and candid self-appraisal of life as a ‘work-of-progress’” (Booklist) and blends the remarkable story of his own personal journey with incisive cultural commentary, writing beautifully about gender, power, and inequality in America. His transition occurs amid the rise of the Trump administration and the #MeToo movement—a transition point in America’s own story, when transphobia and toxic masculinity are under fire even as they thrive in the highest halls of power. Carl’s quest to become himself and to reckon with his masculinity mirrors, in many ways, the challenge before the country as a whole, to imagine a society where every member can have a vibrant, livable life. Here, through this brave and deeply personal work, Carl brings an unparalleled new voice to this conversation.
