George F. Jowett's Progressive
Barbell Training Course
 |
| Available again in a modern reprint edition - George F. Jowett's Progressive Barbell Training course. A true classic! |
This little gem dates back to the 1920's
or 30's - but I've issued it again in a
modern reprint edition. We have a very
limited number of copies, so if you want
one, act fast.
To order the Jowett course:
Order a copy of my Dinosaur Training
book - but include a note (or send me
an email) saying that you actually want
the Jowett course.
 |
| To order a copy of George Jowett's Progressive Barbell Training, do this - order a copy of Dinosaur Training - but include a note (or send an email) telling us that you really want the Jowett Progressive Barbell Training course. We'll fill your order by sending the Jowett course, not Dinosaur Training. |
Be sure to include the note or send the
email so we know what you actually
want!
Progressive Barbell Training is a
great old-school course - with plenty
of line drawings to show you how to
perform all of the barbell and
dumbbell exercises in it.
Good stuff - and a very nice link to the
past.
Seven Strength Training Tips
Here are 7 strength training and muscle
building tips to help keep your workouts
zipping along - and to help you get the
very best possible results from every
minute of your training.
1. Visualize success.
Set aside 10 minutes every single day -
and use the time to visualize whatever
you want to achieve.
Create a movie - with you as the lead -
doing the things you need to do - and
getting the results you want.
Make this a regular part of each and
every day.
2. Stay on track.
Decide what you want to do - set a
goal - make a plan - and then carry
through on it - without getting side-
tracked by social media.
3. Focus on progression.
When you train, focus on making each
workout better than the one before it -
OR - as part of a series of workouts,
all of which, taken together, help you
achieve the goals you have set for
yourself.
4. Maximize your recovery.
You can't gain if you don't recover from
your workouts.
The critical thing is not just to train hard
and heavy - it's to recover from your hard
and heavy workouts.
5. Do less rather than more.
Tommy Kono used to call this Quality
Training.
The idea is to get maximum benefit
from your workouts in the minimum
amount of time - with the minimum
amount of exercises, sets, and reps.
I sometimes call this Championship
Training - and there's a reason for
that.
It builds champions.
6. Concentrate!
When you train, concentrate on the
task at hand.
Treat it seriously.
Your workouts deserve your full and
undivided attention.
That includes your warm-up sets -
and your work sets - and the time
in between sets and exercises.
7. Focus on the goal.
Set a goal, and work towards it with
unwavering determination.
Don't change goals more often than
you change socks.
Decide what you want to do - and then
start working to make it happen.
Don't get distracted.
Program-hopping is a huge problem for
most trainees - and so is goal-hopping.
So there you are - 7 strength training
tips that will help rocket you to the top
of the Iron Mountain. Give them a try -
they'll make a HUGE difference for you.
As always, thanks for reading and have
a great day. If you train today, make it
a good one!
