Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who would have thought that training with sledgehammers would be one of the best ways for functional strength and conditioning?One of the oldest forms of training around is becoming a staple of building fantastic results for athletes and everyone else looking to become a force to be reckoned with.I can remember many years ago using sledgehammers for destruction; tearing down walls and breaking up concrete when I worked in construction.When I was done with a long day's work with the sledgehammer, I felt like a badass, even though I was tired as hell.My forearms would be the size of grapefruits, and my core, shoulders, back, and grip would be sore for days.When you think of old school training methods, the sledgehammer is one of the first things that probably comes to mind. In regards to building and developing raw strength and explosive power, nothing beats it.Of course, the primary recipient of your "destructive" sledgehammer swings is a large tractor tire.Sledgehammers come in many weights: from 4 pounds, all the way up to 30+ lbs, and some are even bigger.Along with many of the physical benefits that come with sledgehammer training, you also feel damn good just swinging and slamming it down.It brings out your innate raw power and leaves you feeling like a superhero (or villain, depending on your mood).You just can't get this feeling from any piece of equipment that a fancy gym might provide.

Download or read book Testosterone Transformation written by Myatt Murphy and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking workout and diet plan that replenishes a man's testosterone levels, rebuilds his body, and remakes his life Testosterone is the most crucial hormone in the male body--and every man's T levels begin a slow, steady decline as he ages. The result? Loss of strength and muscle mass. Poor sugar metabolism. Increased body fat, especially around the waist. Loss of T also affects red blood cell production, vitality, bone density, mental acuity, and sex drive. In short: It slowly chops a man down. Testosterone Transformation helps a man produce higher levels of T and reverse the downward spiral. By eating the right foods and adopting a new exercise approach, any man at any age can transform his life by starting a positive chain reaction: Raise T levels through the strategies in this book, improve workouts, get stronger, improve workouts even more, get even stronger, and enable the body to use muscle to process sugar--instead of storing it as fat. Testosterone Transformation is a life-changer: a serious exercise and strategic diet plan that uses the science of a man's own body to help him recharge his sex drive, increase vitality, and reduce health risks across the board.
