Book excerpt: From an elite Special Operations physical trainer, an ingeniously simple, rapid-results, do-anywhere program for getting into amazing shape For men and women of all athletic abilities! As the demand for Special Operations military forces has grown over the last decade, elite trainer Mark Lauren has been at the front lines of preparing nearly one thousand soldiers, getting them lean and strong in record time. Now, for regular Joes and Janes, he shares the secret to his amazingly effective regimen—simple exercises that require nothing more than the resistance of your own bodyweight to help you reach the pinnacle of fitness and look better than ever before. Armed with Mark Lauren’s motivation techniques, expert training, and nutrition advice, you’ll see rapid results by working out just thirty minutes a day, four times a week—whether in your living room, yard, garage, hotel room, or office. Lauren’s exercises build more metabolism-enhancing muscle than weightlifting, burn more fat than aerobics, and are safer than both, since bodyweight exercises develop balance and stability and therefore help prevent injuries. Choose your workout level—Basic, 1st Class, Master Class,and Chief Class—and get started, following the clear instructions for 125 exercises that work every muscle from your neck to your ankles. Forget about gym memberships, free weights, and infomercial contraptions. They are all poor substitutes for the world’s most advanced fitness machine, the one thing you are never without: your own body.

Book excerpt: BONUS: Buy the Paperback Version from Amazon and Get FREE Access to the Kindle Version If you have always wanted to slap on slabs of muscle and build your dream physique without going to the gym for machine work, then keep reading... Bodyweight exercises are simple, efficient and effective. They require minimal equipment, work many muscles at once, and the exercises feel natural - unlike the machines found in gyms. It's easy to pick up, easy to adhere to, and will challenge you continuously through new movement progressions. Consistency is the key to getting and keeping a strong, muscular body - and it is easy to be consistent with calisthenics. However, do you ever feel as if you lack the muscle mass that weight lifters have? Or maybe despite how much you train or how strong you are, you feel as if you don't look the part. Well, one of the issues with calisthenics is that several muscle groups are either too difficult to stimulate (biceps) or too difficult to stimulate with enough resistance to keep growth happening. It is no secret that volume drives muscle growth, but more volume doesn't necessarily mean doing more... Volume isn't just about how much you train; it's about how you train. It is entirely possible to train a lot yet make no gains. With references to over 15 scientific studies, discover: How the best natural bodybuilders program their training and how you can adopt their strategies (pg. 31) What convenient piece of equipment even the most advanced calisthenics practitioners use and why you should too (pg. 7) Why you should consider adding muscle mass to your frame even if you train primarily for strength feats like the planche (pg. 20) The 3 most important factors you must prioritize in your programming - no; it's not volume, frequency and intensity (pg. 21) How you can quantify your training by measuring volume the correct way (pg. 27) The difference between training for strength and training for size is not exercise selection or different rep ranges, but this (pg. 46) Exact volume recommendations based on how often you train so that you know exactly how to get started - whether you train 2x a week or 7x a week (pg. 63) What the best rep range for muscle growth actually is (hint: it is not 8 to 12 reps!) (pg. 72) How you can increase muscle size, concentric strength, and strength at end range by doing this (pg. 73) How you can grow your pecs using a calisthenics exercise that rivals dumbbell flyes and cable crossovers in chest activation (pg. 82) If you have small calves, you are probably committing this common sin in your calf raises (pg. 98) What lies you have been fed about tempo and time under tension, as well as when and how to incorporate tempo work properly (pg. 104, 110) Maximize your arm growth by training this often forgotten muscle (pg. 106) How small details like the position of your fingers can make or break an exercise (pg. 114) Bigger is not always better: Discover why some muscle groups, including popular ones like the abs, shouldn't be grown (pg. 117, 119, 134) Why periodization isn't mandatory and is oftentimes used to overcomplicate training in order to sell more programs and coaching (pg. 39) Even if you are tall and lanky or considerably overweight, obtaining bulging biceps, pecs and a slim, muscular trunk is within your reach. Whether you're a beginner who's never exercised before or a competitive athlete with little time to spare, you too will discover new ways to optimize your training.
