Single best strength training book ever!
I just turned 50 this year and I have tried a little bit of everything over the years: martial arts, swimming, soccer, cycling, free weights, weight machines, even yoga and pilates. I started using Convict Conditioning right after it came out. I started from the beginning, like Coach Wade says, doing mostly step one or two for five out of the six exercises. (Be sure to read the sections titled "The Smart Way" and "The Dumb Way").
I work out 3 to 5 times a week, usually for 30 to 45 minutes. Long story short, my weight went up 14 pounds (I was not trying to gain weight) but my body fat percentage dropped two percent. That translates into approximately 19 pounds of lean muscle gained in two months! I’ve never gotten this kind of results with anything else I’ve ever done. Now I have pretty much stopped lifting weights for strength training. Instead, I lift once a week as a test to see how much stronger I’m getting without weight training. There are a lot of great strength training books in the world (most of them published by Dragon Door), but if I had to choose just one, this is the single best strength training book ever. BUY THIS BOOK. FOLLOW THE PLAN. GET AS STRONG AS YOU WANT.
