Building muscle is both a science and an art. The science allows us to understand how 650 muscles and more than a quarter-billion individual muscle fibers conspire to set a human body in motion. The art is the magnificence of movement itself as well as the result of that movement-strong, lean, healthy, energetic muscles, the very image of the ancient gods and warriors.
This book is the first to combine the science of muscle building with the art of muscles themselves. The book comprises:
- Three total-body muscle-building programes, one each for beginner, intermediate, and advanced exerciseers-a total of 18 month's worth of workouts.
- Complete descriptions of more than 100 exercises.
- Vital advice on warming up, stretching, and recovering between workouts.
- The latest and best information on how to eat to make muscles grow.
The Book of Muscle does more than just explain how muscles work. It also gives comprehensive muscle-building programes from a world class trainer (Ian King).
