Give me that old time Strength training!

Dedicated to the concept that muscular men and women should be as strong as they look, Pavel's BEYOND BODYBUILDING is a virtual encyclopedia of power building strategies from the Iron Game's all time greats!Trainees at all levels can immediately pluck key concepts to transform their stale personal programs into dynamic, instantly progressing, strength/muscle building systems.

As can be expected from Pavel, this book is very interesting, highly informative, and easy to enjoy.It takes only a few pages to convince a serious trainee that REAL body and strength development is far removed from the all too common low weight pumping schemes which are mindlessly set forth in today's gyms, schools, and clinics.

Thank goodness that a volume is finally available that will rock the training world back to the sensibilities of its STRENGTH building origins!!Pavel carefully documents the reasons why heavy, basic, intense but brief sessions are the only way to go for dedicated athletes, absolutely strong people, and those who would aspire to outright studliness!

Many of us old dogs of the 60s have been howling ever since about the virtues of hard, heavy training. Back then EVERYONE strived to become as strong as possible, and those who persisted and fought to achieve big weights had the rugged looks to verify it. Now BEYOND BODYBUILDING brings that magic back! As Bob Hoffman,the "Father of American Weightlifting", once stated, and Pavel's meticulous research confirms, " heavy lifting is the best form of bodybuilding!"

In the Top 5 of Training Books of All Time

I will be brief.As a trainer of 16 years and a martial artist of 24 years,I can say that I have read most of whats out there.Walk in any book store,go to the weightlifting section and realize that I have read %95 of what is on there shelves.This is a READABLE,APPLICABLE text that could change your physique forever.I first balked at the price but I recant.You can buy this book for what two visits with me would cost.Sure there are prettier books out there but is the data as good?I find that I have reread this text 5 times in the first week since I have owned it.If you really apply what is contained, sucess will not evade.I will not list all that is included;you can simply view the table of contents.Trust my experiance.I am no shill.I have spoken out on the forum when I disapproved of a product.I will stake my reputation as a trainer on the quality of the data this text presents! Safe ,smart training to all!
