Whether you are a
novice to strength training or have been training
with dumbbells and want a little more variety or
challenge, then barbell training is an excellent
option.
In
The Great Barbell Handbook
we try to take a functional
approach to strength
training, which simply means
that the exercises you see
here resemble movements done
in everyday life. The idea
is that if you can get
strong and efficient at
these movements, then the
everyday tasks you demand
from your body get easier
and easier. In addition,
with increased strength
comes a sense of
self-assurance and
confidence.
Given today's hectic life,
setting up a complete gym at
home is a practical and
time-saving alternative to
the gym. By adding barbells
to your setup, you have
brought yourself closer to
the variety of exercises
that are available in most
gyms and health clubs.
The Great Barbell Handbook
is written in a clear and
concise manner, with
step-by-step instructions
and photos for all
exercises. Each exercise
description has a start and
finish photo to demonstrate
proper form and positioning.
