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.

Menace keeps a running account of his daily workout in the powerlifting forum, The threads titled, "workout log.....continued from 8 week challenge". 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.

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.

An excellent book based entirely on this concept that I highly recommend is by Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove, "The New Rules of Lifting".

Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.

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.

Well, considering I'm doing a concentration in biomechanics, a movement book goes far for my college studies.
