I appreciate how the book cuts through the normal BS you find online, focusing on the six basic body movements-squat, deadlift, lunge, push, pull, twist-and the associated compound exercises that will sufficiently develop every muscle group in your body.Ĭons: The author is mostly correct to de-emphasize isolation exercises like bicep curls and lateral shoulder raises, but probably takes things too far. This book will show you how to avoid the most common mistakes with strength training while presenting the rules to help you develop a better body in less time, based on the latest science of exercise physiology and the experience of world-class strength coaches and lifters. Done right, you can gain strength and mass quickly and efficiently done wrong, and you’ll spend all your free time at the gym with little to show for it. Unfortunately, most of them are a waste of time. Pros: When it comes to strength training, there’s an endless number of programs and exercise techniques you can follow. Throughout, Schuler and Cosgrove debunk strength-training myths, troubleshoot dangerous pitfalls, and clearly illustrate moves with black-and-white photographs. Besides providing comprehensive workout programs, The New Rules of Lifting covers much-needed background on aspects of lifting that are often overlooked, like warming up, nutrition, and meal planning. And while coordinated, useful muscles will always turn heads at the beach, they'll also help you live better and longer.
These six "real-life" movements-squat, bend, lunge, push, pull, and twist-compose three complete programs for three distinct goals: fat loss, muscle gain, and strength improvement.Īt home or at the gym, these routines can be mixed and matched for a year's worth of workouts that will keep boredom at bay and lifters challenged long after most plans have called it quits. In The New Rules of Lifting, fitness guru Lou Schuler and strength-training expert Alwyn Cosgrove boil down the most recent findings on weight lifting and fitness to create a program of workouts that focuses on the movements at which the body naturally excels. A revolutionary method of weight lifting using today's science for maximum results.
