| men's physique training: Elite Physique Chad Waterbury, 2021-11-02 If muscle growth seems nonexistent, but you don’t have time to spend more hours in the gym each day, don’t give up. There is a better way. Featuring a revolutionary approach to male physique transformation, Elite Physique: The New Science of Building a Better Body offers a fresh approach to body sculpting. Based on scientifically proven strategies for making workouts more effective, Elite Physique features over 100 exercises and 50 exercise videos for men seeking training programs designed to build muscle, burn fat, or target those problem areas that are slower to respond to training. Written by Dr. Chad Waterbury, a physical therapist who understands how bodies change with age, Elite Physique shows you how to make radical physical changes by manipulating sets, reps, and frequency and by deciding when and how to use advanced training methods. You’ll start by performing an honest physical assessment to establish a starting point and more accurately gauge your progress. As you move into exercises for the lower body and upper body, you'll find tips on altering exercises to alleviate stress on primary joints like the shoulders, elbows, wrists, lower back, hips, and knees. Video clips offer demonstrations of many of the exercises, highlighting proper technique and common mistakes. You’ll learn the finer points of sculpting the midsection and will be able to create programs to target a lagging body part, either as an add-on to full-body training or as a stand-alone high-frequency training plan. Waterbury also includes advice on how to make staple lifts such as squats, deadlifts, and presses more joint friendly for older, more physically battered lifters. He breaks down how training must change as you age—with a program for a 20-year-old looking different than one for a 50-year-old—to safely pursue your goal of a lean, muscular physique. Designed for men looking for the most effective approach to ignite their physique transformation, Elite Physique is a go-to resource. Note: A code for accessing the online video is included with this ebook. |

But more often than not, those promises just turn out to be broken-and in the long run, you'll just find yourself wishing you did not believe them in the first place. This book won't give you any unnecessary promises, but rather would help you understand that you have it in you to change the course of your life-and your body! With the help of this book, you'd learn all about weight training-what it is, how it can turn things around for your body, and what kind of systems you can try so you could get into your best shape. BUT I AM NOT STRONG ENOUGH I know. You may feel like Weight Training is such a strong word, but as you come to read this book, you will realize that with enough power and commitment, it is so possible to follow various weight training systems, such as: *HIIT, or High Intensity Interval Training; *Kinobody; *Crossfit; *P90x, and others! You'll understand what each of these systems mean, and by doing so, you would be able to choose the system that you feel would work best for you-based on your body type, the activities you're used to doing, and how you think these systems would fit right into your schedule! Lots to look forward to! But of course, getting in shape does not just end with choosing a good weight training system. It always has to be a holistic process-so you'd know that what you're doing would actually work not just at the present moment, but more so in the long run!

You will then realize that while weight training is not one of those miracle cures that promise to give you a healthy body in just a day or so, it is in fact, so much better! It all starts with YOU! It is never too early to start taking care of your body-more so, doing it the right way. Why subject yourself to processes that you're not even sure are healthy and legal? If you really want to get in shape, and be the best version of you that you can be, then it is just the right time to start! It is up to you to decide how you'd want to honor your body. You see, not only will you be able to learn about weight training while reading this book, but you'll also understand how food works to make this all possible.
