A revolutionary fitness plan for women, focusing on weightlifting to create a lean, strong, feminine physique
In "The New Rules of Lifting for Women," fitness experts and authors Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove continue their wildly popular "New Rules of Lifting "series with a comprehensive strength training, conditioning, and nutrition plan specifically designed to help women reap the benefits of weightlifting. Along with women's fitness expert Cassandra Forsythe, they show how stepping off the treadmill and into the weight room can help women get the body they want.
Contrary to popular belief, weight training will not cause women to "bulk up," but rather will create the properly conditioned muscles that will in turn increase metabolism and promote weight loss, and give women a lean, healthy look. "The New Rules of Lifting for Women" includes six months' worth of progressively challenging workouts that strip fat while increasing strength and building lean, head-turning muscle--all in two to three hours a week. The authors also provide an easy-to-use, customizable nutrition program that shows you how much to eat to reach your goals.

Ten unique programs for fat loss, muscle gain, and strength improvement for beginners and elite lifters.
Want to get more out of your workout and spend less time in the gym? Many guys devote so many hours to lifting weight yet end up with so little to show for it. In many cases, the problem is simple: They aren't doing exercises based on the movements their bodies were designed to do. Six basic movements--the squat, deadlift, lunge, push, pull, and twist--use all of the body's major muscles. And, more important, they use those muscles in coordinated action, the way they were designed to work.
"The New Rules of Lifting," now in paperback and with more than one hundred photographs, gives you more than a year's worth of workouts based on these six basic movements. Whether you're a beginner, an experienced lifter looking for new challenges, or anything in between, you can mix and match the workouts to help you get bigger, stronger, and leaner. In addition, the comprehensive nutritional information provided makes "The New Rules of Lifting" a complete guide to reaching all your goals.
If you aren't using "The New Rules of Lifting," you aren't getting the best possible results.

For years now, the so-called experts have told you to avoid the foods you love. That you're supposed to ditch the weight room and jog your way to maximum fitness. And that testosterone -- the hormone that makes you a man -- is actually a problem for you, rather than the solution to your problems. In the meantime, American men have kept getting fatter and more frustrated. Which is why we've looked into all this, and from what we've learned, we can tell you -- the know-it-alls are know-nothings.

The Testosterone Advantage Plan is about realizing your full potential as a man, and will

• show you how nature intended you to eat.
  
• explain how the male body differs in its nutritional needs from the female body -- especially when it comes to the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are not bad for you.
  
• give you a superior workout regimen to help you attain the muscular physique you've always wanted.
  
• explain how you can boost your testosterone and energy levels naturally, without supplements or quick-fix fads.
  
• help you tick off the long list of benefits you'll likely reap in terms of energy and enthusiasm, power and potency, confidence and charisma.

This much you know: What you've done in the past hasn't worked. Why not try it our way? You have everything to gain -- and nothing to lose except your gut.
