Infos

The first step in building anything is to start with a solid foundation. That is as true for strength training as it is for construction. A program built on sound principles, anchored by science and proven effective time and again, will reward you with true and tangible results and lifetime of lifting success. Focusing on the most essential information you need to know to start a safe and effective strength training program, Foundational Strength provides step-by-step explanations of the key elements and phases of the four essential lifts: squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press. Each lift is accompanied by photos that walk you through the lift from start to finish, detailing the proper mechanics and purpose of the lift. Variations for each lift are included, helping you identify your individual starting point to ensure success, and common errors are identified to help avoid injury. Warm-up exercises ensure your body is ready for each main lift, and an assortment of accessory exercises helps you progress over time. The book also takes the guesswork out of creating workouts, providing the basics of programming and information on how to create your own programs based on your situation, needs, and goals. More than just a bullet-point list of movement descriptions, Foundational Strength gives you a personal coach to guide you on the first steps of your lifting journey.
