menace3000 - question...

rwbowle Posts: 2 Joined: 2006/04/19	2006/04/30, 01:48 PM menace3000 I'm a new member, but have been working out for many years. I found one of your postings very interesting. You discussed planning workouts based off of movements rather than bodyparts. Do you have any good book references, that I could read on this subject further? Also, what does your workout plan look like? thanks.

There's also a thread there titled "what are you reading?" These should hold you over until menace gets back. I hope your alright with this big guy, I'm just trying to give the guy something to check out in the meantime. I myself read thru your workout log pretty regularly. -------------- She sits and wonders why.....no more.
	2006/05/01, 06:39 PM I dont have a particular book that's about this 1 topic. I think you're better off trying to find articles online or old posts. You may want to ask wrestler125, he may know some particular books. My journal as Mojo pointed out is in powerlifting forum.

Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.
	2006/05/03, 04:23 AM thanks wrestler...knew u'd have one...LOL...mr brittanica :) I think I might get that book also...seems pretty cool
wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2006/05/03, 09:57 PM I recommend it. Its based entirely on how the body works throughout what Schuler calls the basic movements (push pull squat twist etc), and has a lot of great info on exercise selection... For you, I might recommend taking the step up to Cosgroves program design bible. A little more advanced, same concepts. -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.

	2006/05/04, 02:59 AM What's the name of that book? I tried searching on amazon but only found the first one( New Rules of Lifting by Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove (Hardcover - Dec 29, 2005) ) ....

wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2006/05/06, 07:03 PM Well, considering I'm doing a concentration in biomechanics, a movement book goes far for my college studies. -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.
