Book Reviews of New Rules of Lifting: Six Basic Moves for Maximum Muscle
Book Review: Buy mens health book of muscles instead
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the "Mens Health Book of Muscles" lame title but exeptional book by Lou Schuler and Ian King. Now I think it should be mentioned that Lou Schuler is not a strength coach but a fitness writer. He obviously put Ian King concepts and routines into some cohesive book form but did not formulate any of the ideas. I decided to buy "The new rules of lifting" hoping that as a successor it would be the next step and an improved approach to the earlier book. If anything you would hope that Lou is doing enough research to figure out who's lifting ideas he should be writing about. I was dissapointed instead. Many Weeks of the same routine with only variation in reps along with uninspired writing and ideas. Not working muscles in isolation has been a concept supported by more than a few strength coaches in the now not so distant past but this book seems to dummy down the approach. After reading this book I decided to start back on the routines in the first book and will probably seek out some Ian king books. Only good I think for building a base.
Summary of New Rules of Lifting: Six Basic Moves for Maximum Muscle
A revolutionary method of weight lifting using today's science for maximum results.In The New Rules of Lifting, fitness guru Lou Schuler and strength-training expert Alwyn Cosgrove boil down the most recent findings on weight lifting and fitness to create a program of workouts that focuses on the movements at which the body naturally excels. These six "real-life" movements-squat, bend, lunge, push, pull, and twist-compose three complete programs for three distinct goals: fat loss, muscle gain, and strength improvement.
At home or at the gym, these routines can be mixed and matched for a year's worth of workouts that will keep boredom at bay and lifters challenged long after most plans have called it quits. And while coordinated, useful muscles will always turn heads at the beach, they'll also help you live better and longer. Besides providing comprehensive workout programs, The New Rules of Lifting covers much-needed background on aspects of lifting that are often overlooked, like warming up, nutrition, and meal planning. Throughout, Schuler and Cosgrove debunk strength-training myths, troubleshoot dangerous pitfalls, and clearly illustrate moves with black-and-white photographs.
