Summary of Bret Contreras's Bodyweight Strength Training Anatomy
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 When designing a workout, I trust strength coaches over just about anyone. They have a vested interest in optimizing their athletes' strength, power, and conditioning, as well as their joint health and longevity.
#2 Bodyweight training is highly skewed toward pushing exercises, and this must be taken into account when designing a program. Because of the wonders of gravity, all it takes to get a great pressing workout is to sink your body toward the ground and then push your body upward.
#3 Bodyweight training is the most convenient form of resistance, and it can provide you with a great workout. You can gain great functional fitness in terms of strength, power, balance, and endurance from progressive bodyweight training, and recent research shows that you can enhance your flexibility to the same or even a greater degree through resistance training than from a stretching routine.
#4 You will continue to challenge your neuromuscular system as you progress to more difficult variations and increase the number of repetitions you perform with the various exercises. Your body will respond by synthesizing more protein and laying down more muscle tissue.
