Full Color Collector's Edition SOLD OUT!
The publisher has reprinted the now sold out "Collector's" edition in its entirety --the only change was in converting the color photos and illustrations within the book's inside pages to black and white --offering readers a considerable saving!
This is not a book about body building! It is a book about achieving maximum strength, speed and endurance.
Unlike bodybuilders, who do not have to perform on the playing field, athletes should never train heavy all year long.
The most a human body can take of any heavy weight program is about 60 minutes. After that, hormone levels start to decline, neural fatigue sets in, and further weight work will not increase muscle power --or even muscle mass, according to Colgan.
And to back up his claims, Colgan typically sites mountains of scientific evidence, as well as his own experience -to demonstrate how overtraining creates injury and long-term fatigue of the nervous system.
Dr. Colgan offers a simple solution: "...the first step to athletic power is periodize your weight training...that is, divide the year into cycles of different forms of weight work!"
Use this well-researched guide to...- learn about the power posture before you begin your training
- find out why stretching exercises don't work -and what you should really do to greatly enhance your power
- build powerful, injury-free shoulders
- discover the secrets of powerful movement, and why you must train your body from inside, out
- begin to correct years of improper workout habits
- adopt the NEW power diet and gain maximum srtength through supplementation
- program your mind to master the 10 components of true athletic power
- use the Link Cycle to train your nervous system so it will convert strength into explosive power on the playing field
At last! This fully illustrated training system can be used to increase the power of athletes of all levels, from weekend warriors to Olympics medallists, in the whole alphabet of sport.
From archery, basketball and boxing, through skiing, track and field, and tennis, to America's Cup Yachting, this book provides a system of weight training that fits with human physiology and the science of strength and speed development.
This program gives both men and women all they need to re-build themselves as a body of power.
"As we move into the new millennium, the value of the correct weight training is finally becoming apparent, not only to athletes but to everyone who wants a powerful, injury-free and disease-resistant body. In choosing this book you are already well on your way."-Michael Colgan, PhD.
Great gift idea!
