Adamantine Strength(TM) offers a solution to that problem by providing you with a proven framework for strength and muscle gain. This book is organized around the principle that everyone can benefit from properly-programmed strength training. In supporting that thesis, Adamantine Strength(TM) lays out an easy-to-understand, logical structure for training. Before you can start a journey in any discipline, you must lay a foundation of strength on the main, core lifts, specifically the barbell back squat, bench press, deadlift, and military press. Most people fail to do this, and instead simply exercise for 45 minutes. While that makes you tired for the day, over time nothing is ever built. The first part of the book discusses how to improve the main lifts through: 1) mastering technique; 2) using supplemental and accessory lifts, and 3) manipulating volume and intensity. The second part of the book, Adamantine Strength, applies the theoretical principles discussed in part one to real-life programming. This part starts with an in-depth discussion of the technique of performing the main lifts, which is supported with pictures for demonstration. I then provide an in-depth, practical overview of how to program the main, supplemental, and accessory lifts from your first day in the gym to elite levels. So no matter where you are in your journey, there is something for you in this book. There is also a discussion of warm-ups and deloading in this section. The third part discusses nutrition and supplements. The take-away of this section is that you must eat to fuel your performance. This means eating high-quality foods consistently. This section provides an overview of nutrition principles and provides suggestions based on body type. The section also discusses the utility of supplements. The book closes with a discussion on the topic of the mindset you must have for success. I discuss the important principles of vision, perseverance while moving toward your vision, not making excuses, and having a mindset of growth. You must chart your path to success and always be moving toward your goals. This section will help you with winning the mental game, which is a precursor to winning the physical game. To boil it down to one line, I wrote this book because it is the book I would give to my fourteen-year-old self when I first walked into a weight room. This is a perfect book for both new and seasoned lifters looking to take their training to the next level and to build a solid base of strength and muscle. It is also perfect for personal trainers and strength coaches working with athletes and clients to increase strength and muscle gain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew J.
