Insider's Tell-All Handbook on Weight Training Technique

To benefit from lifting weights, you must work out consistently and effectively. But if you do not use correct exercise technique, you will often get injured, and you will be unable to work out consistently and effectively no matter how good the design of your exercise routine or workout may be. Correct exercise technique is the bedrock of training success.

Properly done, weight-lifting exercises are safe, but the use of incorrect exercise technique is rampant in most gyms. Do not expect to learn correct exercise technique from most gyms, especially the form of the biggest and most important exercises.

The emphasis you place on weight training will vary according to the degree of muscle size and strength you desire, but the pool of exercises you can select from is common to everyone who lifts weights men and women of all ages and levels of training experience, including bodybuilders, fitness trainees, athletes, and powerlifters and other strength trainees.

The Revised Third Edition of THE INSIDER'S TELL-ALL HANDBOOK ON WEIGHT-TRAINING TECHNIQUE provides the most thorough, safety-minded, up-to-date, detailed and illustrated book on exercise form. Over 60 exercises are covered. It is the definitive source for everyone who lifts weights, and for coaches and personal trainers, too.

And to enhance the guidance on exercise technique, McRobert s authoritative book provides important supplementary information, including a detailed and illustrated routine of stretches to help ensure adequate flexibility, how to use a camcorder to help with the proper implementation of exercise form, an explanation of proper rep speed and control, and a primer on anatomy.

This book can save you years of wasted training. You can learn a wealth of useful information from just a few days of study. You no longer have to learn the hard way what constitutes correct exercise technique.
