Editorial Review: Product Description: Ten unique programs for fat loss, muscle gain, and strength improvement for beginners and elite lifters. Want to get more out of your workout and spend less time in the gym? Many guys devote so many hours to lifting weight yet end up with so little to show for it. In many cases, the problem is simple: They aren’t doing exercises based on the movements their bodies were designed to do. Six basic movements—the squat, deadlift, lunge, push, pull, and twist—use all of the body’s major muscles. And, more important, they use those muscles in coordinated action, the way they were designed to work. The New Rules of Lifting, now in paperback and with more than one hundred photographs, gives you more than a year’s worth of workouts based on these six basic movements. Whether you’re a beginner, an experienced lifter looking for new challenges, or anything in between, you can mix and match the workouts to help you get bigger, stronger, and leaner. In addition, the comprehensive nutritional information provided makes The New Rules of Lifting a complete guide to reaching all your goals. If you aren’t using The New Rules of Lifting, you aren’t getting the best possible results. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Lifting SnobberyThere is some good info here, but the authors of New Rules seem more interested in advancing their particular training philosophy than in actually educating/inspiring readers to improve their training. Essentially, the focus of their 'New Rules' is compound, Olympic-style weightlifting. Nothing earth shattering there, but the authors take their program a step further by basically denouncing all other forms of physical activity as unnecessary. This approach to the subject is both myopic ...

Very scientific but aimed at normal readers. Even quite humorous at times - which helped. More importantly - I have been using these NEW RULES with great success - Go read the book! IOt is good for you... Rating: - Very ImpressiveAs a personal trainer, I find it interesting to see the huge variety of workout books. I like this one a whole lot. There is lots of scientifically valid, sensible advice, and a lot of very good workout plans. Best of all, it goes down very easily because the author (I assume it's mostly Lou) is very funny. Books about weight training, even ones that I enjoy, aren't necessarily "fun" to read. They can be too academic, a footnote every 4 sentences, or at the other extreme, so brief and ... Read More Rating: - "New Rules" revolutionized my workout - but took some time to sink in.I've been lifting weights in my local gym for about 2 years - doing circuits of the nautilus and cybex weight stack machines. I had been plateaued for a while and wanted a better understanding of which moves work which muscles, how to use the machines to best advantage, proper form etc... I bought "The New Rules of Lifting" looking for a basic guide and what I got was different from what I was expecting. The New Rules is an attempt to shake things up and it attacks a host of standard wisdoms - such as ... Read More Rating: - LIFT WEIGHTS!!!I recently bought their other book "New Rules of Lifting for Women" and decided that I needed this one as well since I am a Personal Trainer. I like how they bring it back down to the basic classics that have worked for centuries. Power lifting is the original functional training. And with all these crazy fads its nice to see some good common sense advice. These moves maybe classics but they are combined with modern knowledge to show why they are effective and how this kind of lifting is best. Browse for similar items by category:
