You probably have seen infomercials for fitness equipment, all claiming that they will magically transform your body. You can have all of the equipment in the world, but without proper knowledge of how to exercise, you are better off saving your money. The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Sports is far different and far better than any of those big, expensive machines. It is the one-stop guide to proper weight and athletic training that gives you a tremendous variety of goal-specific and time-oriented programs. With weight training, knowledge is the key to success.
Beginners to weight training need guidance from people who are more experienced. By following The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Sports, you will get all of that guidance and more. You will know exactly what to do, how much weight to lift, how many times to lift it, and even why you are doing what you are doing. This book does not waste time; it tells you only what you need to know to make your gains and achieve your goals.
Weight training is a science, and there are many biological and cellular reasons for your muscular gains and overall health. This book touches on the most important major biological aspects to weight training to give you a general sense of what is happening to your body at the cellular level. You will learn about the differences between fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibers and the different ways to train them.
This book is here to increase your athletic potential, and teach you how to properly use your time in the most efficient ways possible. It will not be long before you start noticing a completely different person both physically and mentally. Weight training can be addictive. No question about it. The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Sports will get you so motivated, so excited, so engulfed in lifting weights that you will not be able to wait until the next day to go in the gym and further sculpt your body into an athletic machine. Who does not want to have a good body? Who does not want to become a better athlete? Who does not want to become a healthier, happier person? There is nothing better on earth to be addicted to.
This book will benefit experienced weight trainers as much, if not more, than beginners. At one time or another, no matter who you are, you will experience plateaus where you peak out
and get stuck
in the gym. When this happens, gains are harder to come by no matter how hard you work. The best way to get over these bumps in the road is to change your routine, try something new, sometimes even decreasing the intensity of your training, if necessary. You need to incorporate some type of change in your routine to shock your body so it can adapt to the new style of training and continue to make gains. The compilation of programs in this book was put together for the purpose of getting you over those bumps by providing you with numerous training techniques and styles so you can have a selection to choose from based on your goals, time availability, and personal preferences. Many people pay thousands of dollars for personal trainers to provide them with custom-made programs. This book provides you with 54 personal-trainer designed, custom-made programs, each one created for a different purpose.
What weight-training manual is complete without sections on stretching to loosen up your muscles before and after working them out in the gym? The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Sports begins with warm-up and cool-down activities, which include stretching as well as mid-section exercises. Again, you are provided with pictures and descriptions so that you know the correct ways to perform these exercises.
After the warm-up and cool-down sections are the recommended weight-training exercises, followed by other necessary weight and athletic training topics. After reading through these sections, you will be ready to start on any one of the different programs. Pick the ones you like, or use them all over time. They are all designed by weight-training specialists and are proven to work to get you into the shape you desire. Best of luck with the programs. Work hard, maximize your athletic potential, and achieve all of your goals!
Warming Up
Warming up is an essential part of a weight-training routine. A warm-up activity can be any type of low-level activity as long as it loosens up your body, gets your blood flowing, and prepares your body for the workout. Warming up is absolutely necessary if you plan to lift heavy weights. To walk into the gym and attempt to max out (lift the maximum amount of weight you can handle) without first warming up can cause injury because your body is not ready for the physical stress of a weight-training routine. In general, there are two major types of warming up, which are listed below.
