21 Days to Bigger Shoulders


Book Description

The Only Shoulder Workout You Will Ever Need Weight training is a very thought out process that requires knowing which exercises are not only going to strengthen your muscles, but which ones will also add on to your muscle size. The same is true when it comes to working out your shoulders. You may think that by working out your arms, chest, and upper back your shoulders will automatically be affected. This just is not true. Not only do your genetics play a role in how big your muscles can actually get, but like any other part of your body specific workouts must be applied to the area. Inside Grant Michael's shoulder workout guide, you will get 11 great exercises that are specifically for toning and building your shoulder muscle mass. You will never look back once you fully understand how your body is impacted by each and every exercise you perform. How Will This Book Help You Increase Your Shoulder Muscle Mass? Grant has put together an extremely detailed illustrated guide specialized in weight training for your shoulders. These 11 exercises will not only focus on the specific deltoid muscles located in the shoulders, but also on the areas surrounding them and the full body. This is to help you ensure that your overall physique is in sync. For example, muscles that will be targeted in this guide besides those located in the shoulder include: Quadriceps Hamstrings Gluteal Abdominal Back Triceps Not only will you get an even workout, but you will learn how to increase your muscle size through safe and recommended methods. You will be taught how to master top-of-the-line weight training exercises that people at the top of their field perform. Why Do You Need a Workout Focused on Your Shoulders? Weight training is a very specific type of working out. The main goal is to obviously build weight onto your body, and when adding this weight you want it to be evenly distributed throughout your muscle mass. Often the shoulders will be overlooked because the trainer thinks that they will automatically be affected from the other exercises. The shoulders are actually the most moveable joints in the body. This makes them very unstable if the muscles, ligaments, and tendons surrounding them are not strengthened. Since your shoulders are involved in the many daily movements that you make with your upper body, it is important to make sure that they have as much attention during your exercise as the rest of your body. What You Should Take Away from This Book When the shoulders are in top shape subsequently so are all areas that are attached to them instead of the other way around. Anyone who has ever suffered from a shoulder injury knows just how important this part of the arm and upper body is. However, with these exercises you will not end up with widely disproportionately shoulder muscles either. Instead you will use the weight training contained within to expand on the strength and size of your shoulders while simultaneously keeping them even with the rest of your body's size.

The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Total Body Transformation


Book Description

Primal Blueprint author Mark Sisson presents a fun, easy-to-follow, practical guidebook to help you "get Primal" in only 21 days. First, you'll learn eight Key Concepts that represent the most important day-to-day elements living Primally, then tackle five Action Items that will enable you to literally reprogram your genes toward a long, healthy, and energetic life. The Action Items are presented in a fun and life-transforming 21-Day Challenge, featuring daily diet, exercise, and lifestyle endeavors with corresponding journal exercises. You'll transition out of the regimented, carb-dependent, fat-storing Standard American Diet (SAD), the chronic, overly-stressful exercise patterns recommended by Conventional Wisdom, and other health-compromising elements of hectic modern life. Instead, you'll smoothly implement the evolution-tested lifestyle behaviors of our hunter-gatherer ancestors to promote optimal gene expression. By eating Primally, you'll transform from a "sugar-burner" into a Sisson's so-called "fat burning beast", where stored body fat becomes your preferred fuel choice, and energy, hormone, metabolic, and immune function are optimized automatically. With an intuitive mix of Primal workouts, you'll get exceptionally fit in only a few hours per week -- and have fun while you're at it! The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Transformation is stocked with photos, diagrams, concise section summaries, workout descriptions and photos, resource lists for Primal-approved foods and foods to avoid, recipe suggestions, and detailed real-life success stories to help you stay confident and focused on your Primal journey. Unlike many complex, regimented, quick-fix programs, the Primal Blueprint 21-Day Transformation is a simple, sensibly-paced journey shaped by personal preference and a strong emphasis on enjoying comfortable modern life. The material is scalable for everyone, from Type-A fitness die-hards who might benefit from a more relaxed approach, to couch potatoes who need motivation to take that first step. Mark Sisson guides you in a light-hearted, irreverent tone that will make you feel comfortable and inspired, and never intimidated. You can expect quick results in the first 21 days (fat loss, improved energy levels, fitness, and blood test markers), but your 21-Day Transformation is only the beginning of a life of ease and contentment that is possible when you live in harmony with your genetic requirements for health and longevity.

The Men's Health Big Book of 15-Minute Workouts


Book Description

Men love shortcuts. If there's a way to accomplish a job quicker and more efficiently, they're all for it. That goes for work and working out. Now, new research shows that as little as 15 minutes of resistance training is just as effective in spiking a man's metabolism—his fat-burning furnace—as a workout lasting more than twice as long. All it takes is 15 minutes to achieve lifelong results—and men are more likely to stick to an exercise plan if it's chopped down to those 15 minutes. The Men's Health Big Book of 15-Minute Workouts contains fast-paced circuit training and interval workouts that boost calorie burn, build muscle, and fry belly fat in half the time of regular workouts. Readers can choose from at-home, body-weight-only workouts and total-body barbell programs to exercises that target major muscle groups—the chest, arms, legs, and back—and sport-specific workouts. Other highlights include: - a special section of 15-minute core workouts to build a rock-hard six-pack - an eating plan with delicious meals that take 15 minutes or less to prepare - workouts for the office or when you're traveling and can't make it to the gym - hundreds of tips from America's best trainers, nutritionists, and exercise scientists
