Every person’s body is different. Short, tall, or big all over,
training should be designed to accommodate an athlete’s different
joint angles, bone lengths, and overall body structure. In Strength
Training for All Body Types: The Science of Lifting and Levers, Lee
Boyce and Melody Schoenfeld have teamed up to create a unique
resource that explains how different bodies manage various
exercises and how to best take advantage of physical attributes to
optimize those movements. Strength Training for All Body Types
covers 13 body types: Tall Short Big all over Short arms and long
legs Short legs and long arms Long torso Long torso, short legs,
and long arms Long torso, long legs, and short arms Short torso,
short legs, and long arms Short torso, long legs, and short arms
Long femurs and short shins Long shins and short femurs Small hands
Professionals working with people of various shapes and sizes will
learn how to modify common lifts like the deadlift, squat, and
bench press to maximize training outcomes and reduce the risk of
injury. Detailed analysis and descriptions for each exercise
variation provide the rationale for the modification and the
science that explains why it is beneficial. The authors also dig
into the physics of the body and describe how the length and
proportions of body levers (e.g., arms, legs, torso) have an impact
on the body’s response to load. You will be better equipped to
help clients use their body’s proportions to their advantage
rather than being a hindrance to optimal performance. Packed full
of strength training exercises, sample workouts, and conditioning
work designed for different body sizes, Strength Training for All
Body Types gives you the tools you need to help your clients make
changes to their technique, become stronger, lift more, and avoid
injury. Earn continuing education credits/units! A continuing
education exam that uses this book is also available. It may be
purchased separately or as part of a package that includes both the
book and exam.
