Strength training puts the body under tremendous stress. Over time the stress of hard training and normal living can lead to strength or flexibility imbalances that leave the muscles functioning at less than 100% leading to less efficient technique, more frequent aches and pains and less strength or muscle mass development. In order to maximize training, all muscles need to be functioning properly. This special book/DVD package explains how muscles develop imbalances, how specific testing can pinpoint and assess dysfunction, how to determine the risk/benefit ratio of different exercises, and how to develop a program to maximize muscle function and strength. A detailed presentation of the most efficient exercise technique for the 32 most popular free weight exercises will show how to do the exercises based on the biomechanics of the muscles and joints. The DVD presents, in greater detail, the subtleties of techniques, exercises, and testing.(Check Catalog)
