One of the nation's elite strength and conditioning coaches presents a
unique training program designed to help men achieve functional strength
and muscular balance throughout their bodies
For decades, the conventional measure of an individual's strength was
the amount of weight he could bench press. Now, that measure is being
challenged by expert trainers like Robert dos Remedios who argue that
the variety of movement patterns used in functional training is the real
key to getting bigger, stronger, and more powerful. In Men's Health
Power Training, this acclaimed collegiate strength and conditioning
coach describes in detail the methods he has used to develop hundreds of
Division I scholarship athletes, including several current NFL players.
The key features that make this book a standout in the fitness field
include:
- exercises geared toward functional strength that can be utilized in
real-world situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture
- training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective
- compound, multijoint exercises that replace the less-effective
isolation exercises found in many fitness books
- no-nonsense dietary information utilizing a new and innovative food
pyramid developed by the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition that will
optimize strength gains, recovery, and physical progress
