Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1961, “[T]his book is the result of ten years of research and experiment in the problems of muscle strength and muscle training at the Max-Planck-Institut für Arbeitsphysiologie, Dortmund, Germany supplemented by further work at the Lankenau Hospital, Division of Research, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There is provided the present status of these problems, and there is demonstrated how muscle strength may be built and maintained with a minimum of time and effort. “The methods used are adaptable, with suitable modification, to children, to average young people, to athletes in training, to sedentary workers and older persons who wish to maintain bodily strength, and to those who have undergone surgery and need rehabilitation of the muscle structure—in short, to anyone who wishes to develop and maintain good muscle tone. “A strong and well-built body not only has pleasing appearance, it permits the undertaking of arduous physical activities or active sports without undue fatigue, and with real enjoyment. “It is the author’s hope that in this age of fast living and nervous tension, when there often seems neither time nor place for extensive exercise, this book will assist those who wish to maintain bodily strength and fitness—simply, at home, without elaborate equipment—on a do-it-yourself basis. It should prove of special benefit to teachers of physical education and rehabilitation.”—THEODOR HETTINGER, M.D.

Download or read book Iron Isometrics written by Steve Justa and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-11-22 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steve Justa is the proverbial, ""White Buffalo,"" of the strength training world. He is known to be one of the strongest men in the world in the feats he performs, but several years ago, found himself in a career ending health situation. Like many strength athletes, Steve kept his body weight up in order to push the highest poundages possible. The weight became more than his system could tolerate and he found himself in the severe end of Type 2 Diabetes, with neuropathy and lost the use of his feet and legs. Given a grave diagnosis and heavy medication, Steve committed himself to reversing his situation. With his limited mobility he began training exclusively with the use of Isometrics. Today, Steve's diabetes is no longer medication dependent and controlled through exercise and diet. The symptoms of neuropathy have vanished. He lost the excess weight and now, at nearly 60, he is stronger than he's ever been lifting implements and totals he never before touched.

However, I'm sure that all of you will learn a lot of new training means, methods, and methodics from this book. What it will do is add a few tools to your coaching/athletic toolbox, allowing you to reach a new level of success in your training (or your athlete's).
