Basics for Starting Training

The first step in building anything is to start with a solid foundation. That is as true for strength training as it is for construction. A program built on sound principles, anchored by science and proven effective time and again, will reward you with true and tangible results and a lifetime of lifting success.

Focusing on the most essential information you need to know to start a safe and effective strength training program, Foundational Strength provides step-by-step explanations of the key elements and phases of the four essential lifts: squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press. Each lift is accompanied by photos that walk you through the lift from start to finish, detailing the proper mechanics and purpose of the lift.

Variations for each lift are included, helping you identify your individual starting point to ensure success, and common errors are identified to help avoid injury. Warm-up exercises ensure your body is ready for each main lift, and an assortment of accessory exercises helps you progress over time.

The book also takes the guesswork out of creating workouts, providing the basics of programming and information on how to create your own programs based on your situation, needs, and goals.

Complete Guide to Landmine Training

When training for fitness or performance, you have an array of equipment to choose from. Unfortunately, pain or limitations related to the knees, hips, lower back, or shoulders can limit your options with dumbbells, barbells, or machines. The need for an alternative way to load the body in unique, joint-friendly positions is at the heart of why the landmine was created.

Complete Guide to Landmine Training is the ultimate resource for everything you need to know about this powerful training device. Renowned coaches David Otey and Joe Drake break down the science behind landmine training, why it works, where it is most effective, and how you can immediately begin to reap its benefits. Inside the book you will find the following:

82 exercises for the upper body, lower body, full body, and core, with coaching cues and modifications, including countless options for training around restrictions

35 workouts to train for total body conditioning, advanced conditioning, hypertrophy, strength, and power that feature options for using the landmine alone or in combination with other equipment

The foundations of program design to help you understand training principles that can be applied to any workout, not just those using a landmine

• Employing and blending parallel, sequential, and emphasis periodization models for athlete development.

• Synchronizing recovery strategies with training phases and periods to enhance adaptation.

• Manipulating nutritional strategies to magnify performance.

• Using and interpreting monitoring data to adjust programs within the periodized plan.
