Over two million people have turned to Strength Training Anatomy
for an inside look at how the body performs during exercise. Now
with new exercises, stretches, and exercise variations, and with
more of Frederic Delavier's signature art, the fourth edition of
this classic work sets the standard by which all other strength
training resources will be judged. No other resource combines the

advice. Over 700 anatomical illustrations, including 90 new to this

muscles involved as well as all the relevant surrounding
structures, including bones, ligaments, tendons, and connective
tissue. Like having an X-ray for each exercise, the anatomical
depictions show both superficial and deep layers and detail how
various setup positions affect muscle recruitment and emphasize
underlying structures. New to this edition are stretching
exercises, safety and injury callouts, and training recommendations
based on body morphology. Author and illustrator Frederic Delavier
is known across the world for his signature artwork and books that
have been translated into over 30 languages. Now he offers you the
most comprehensive edition of his master work yet with Strength
Training Anatomy, Fourth Edition.
Fitness expert Adam Zickerman presents a revolutionary exercise
program - slow strength training - that will forever change the way
people work out. The Power of 10 seems to contradict nearly
everything we're accustomed to hearing about exercise. Forget hours
on the treadmill, and forget daily visits to the gym. This new
program offers 20 minute workout sessions, once or twice per week,
with an alluring emphasis on rest and recovery on your days off.
The principle behind The Power of 10 is simple: by lifting weights
in slow motion, making each rep last 20 seconds (10 seconds lifting
and 10 seconds lowering) instead of the typical 7 seconds, you can
maximize muscle transformation. The short workouts are so effective
that your body will need days to recover and repair properly.
Studies have shown that such routines can increase lean body mass,
help burn calories more efficiently, and prevent cardio-vascular
disease more effectively than aerobic exercise alone.
