The New High Intensity Training: The Best Muscle-Building System You've Never Tried
Certain to become the bible of HIT-the training that revolutionized lifting with shorter,
far-more-intense workouts-this impassioned guide is the last word on
how to achieve explosive growth safely, without steroids! For
many dedicated bodybuilders, the weight-lifting theories of Arthur
Jones are gospel. It was Jones, the inventor of Nautilus exercise
equipment, who first discovered that short, intense workouts could
produce better results than the long, high-volume workouts then in
vogue. Even though research into Jones's methods has proved
them correct, a number of high-profile strength coaches use HIT to
train their athletes, and the bodybuilding magazine Ironman does
HIT-based features every issue, there still are no major HIT books in
stores. This new book-by champion bodybuilder, exercise researcher, and
best-selling author Ellington Darden, who is a Jones disciple and
friend-shows lifters how to apply the master's teachings, along with
some new HIT concepts to achieve extraordinary results.

The Men's Health The Book of Muscle From Publishers Weekly No stranger to the Men's Health fitness books, Schuler,
writing with King, designs a thorough workout plan for each part of the body.
The authors begin by explaining the physiology of muscles-how they grow and
deteriorate, what nutrition they need to build up. Exercises are then organized
by body sections, with such chapter headings as "Muscles that Act on the
Shoulder Joints and Scapulae" and "Muscles that Act on the Hips." With
full-color photos and step-by-step instructions, each entry explains the set up,
execution and variations of every exercise. The third section of the book
explains how to devise a workout plan, while that fourth section lists 6-month
workout schedules for beginning, intermediate, and advanced body sculptors. The
authors break each program into stages and offer charts listing number of sets,
number of reps, and how much time to rest in between. Whether one wants to build
muscles or simply tone them, this book is the perfect introduction to body
shaping for men.
