About this listen
I have gathered the best knowledge available for someone to begin weight training. I think everyone wanting to begin weight lifting to consider this book because it will provide you with a wealth of knowledge to get yourself started off on the right foot. I see many people begin exercising without having a clue on what they're doing. You can tell they are oblivious to working out because that aren't doing anything right in their routine. A poor routine is a foreshadowing to failure in the long run. If you take time to educate yourself on the basic of weight lifting, you will begin to better results, which can range from fat loss to Olympic strength. This book will eliminate the need for a personal trainer, because I provide you with a wealth of terms on direction in order to have the same knowledge as your average trainer. I am a certified professional trainer through the National Federation of Professional Trainers (accredited by the NCAA), certificate number 45582.

Story
Before beginning a muscle-building program, it is critical to understand its purpose. Muscle is simply the tissue in our body that provides us with the necessary power to move in various directions. As bodybuilders, our primary focus is on skeletal muscle. What exercises can we perform to improve our bodies and increase muscle? It is critical to remember that each individual has a unique body mass. Muscles must be exercised to be strengthened. This necessitates weight training. You can begin with modest weights and gradually increase them.

It is widely believed that improving your appearance will lead to success in other areas; jobs, relationships, personal well-being. And while there are some studies which suggest this is the case - for example, because of the biases which are often expressed against heavier people at school and in the workplace - there are others who argue these effects don't last beyond first impressions. The truth is, devoting too much attention to appearances can damage a person's self-esteem.

If your one of the many people who struggle to reach the rim and dunk over their opponents, don’t get disheartened – because what many don’t realize is that dunking a basketball requires more than on court skill alone. And it is certainly not determined by either your height or your age. In fact, our ability to dunk is dictated by our muscle strength, muscle power, and our vertical jump performance. Which in itself is an extremely positive thing, because these factors are not necessarily inherited, nor are they determined at birth. Rather, each of these factors can be trained independently in the gym and on the court, allowing us to improve our vertical jump height, ensuring we can dunk with ease – irrespective of either our age or our height!

What’s your max squat? How much ya bench? What’s your best deadlift? Can you press your body weight? Today, pushing quantifiable expressions of strength, like your maxes, is becoming increasingly ubiquitous. However, though strength may be specific, real strength is much more than a powerlifting total - it’s about resilience, capability, and adaptability. It’s survival of the fittest after all, not the strongest.
