"Without the fundamentals, the details are useless. With the fundamentals, tiny gains can add up to something very significant." -Vince Lombardi
"Get the fundamentals down, and everything you do will rise." - Michael Jordan
This one-of-a-kind book provides absolutely everything you need to know in order to build bigger, stronger, and healthier shoulders via science-based training for all 3 deltoid heads! It breaks down barriers and builds a rock-solid foundation for shoulder training by clearly illustrating the fundamentals of the anatomy of the shoulder muscles and how they operate, then applying them to isolation lifting techniques, compound exercises, and even stretches for all experience levels targeting every region of the shoulders. Whether you're a novice who's just getting started with resistance training, or a 40-year gym veteran with a Ph.D. in exercise science, this book will significantly enhance your shoulder-training knowledge, capacity, and effectiveness, and enable you to fully optimize all shoulder-related workouts that you perform for the rest of your life!
What's Included:
- 116 full-color, illustrated pages packed with top-tier, science-based resistance training & weight lifting education specifically for shoulder training
- Comprehensive yet easy to understand anatomy breakdowns for all 3 deltoid heads - the anterior deltoid (aka "front delt"), lateral deltoid (aka "side delt"), and posterior deltoid (aka "rear delt") - including origination and insertion points, all illustrated with 3D anatomy graphics
- Detailed, clear explanations and examples for all movements performed by each deltoid head (explained in both lay and scientific terms), including 3D anatomy graphics demonstrating each movement
- Step-by-step illustrated instructions with real-life demo images for over 100 isolation (single-joint) exercises and compound (multi-joint) lifts for each deltoid head, including important form tips, optional advanced techniques, and multiple variations for both free weight and cable versions of each exercise, along with color-coded 3D anatomy graphics demonstrating the primary and secondary agonists (targets) in-action for each exercise.
- Breakdowns of many common and dangerous lifting form mistakes, including insightful explanations for why they're harmful or ineffective and how you can correct them.
- Step-by-step illustrated instructions for stretches for each deltoid head, along with a color-coded 3D anatomy graphic demonstrating the primary and secondary agonists (targets) in-action for each stretch.
- Little-known education on the benefits of different types of stretching (i.e. static vs ballistic), including the pros and cons of each and when and how to use them
- Dozens of injury-prevention principles and techniques, illustrated and explained in-depth
- More advanced, science-based tips and strategies for optimizing resistance-training results, such as blood flow restriction training, goal-based weight, set and rep instructions, and more - all based on the latest in exercise-science research
- Every section and page is color-coded for deltoid region and topic, making it easy to organize, digest and integrate the content into your workouts
- Whenever exercise-science terminology is used in the book, the lay (non-scientific) equivalents are included with them in-text, ensuring accuracy and improving familiarity with correct terminology without sacrificing understanding. No previous experience or understanding of scientific terminology is required!
- Even more miscellaneous content and instruction is included, ultimately providing everything you need to know in order to master shoulder training!
