DESCRIPTION:
112 pp.. If you want to find out what you've been missing by hiding out with only really nice weights to lift, grab this - the original - "functional strength" training book. From America's Heartland, the Great Plains, comes the genuine article when it comes to real-world strength and power: Steve Justa. Justa is the guy whose original "Barrel Lifting" course (contained in this book) was a cult favorite for years, and for anyone who remembers his White Buffalo ad, we need say no more
"Great Book for Strength Athletes" according to N. Traxler. Steve Justa is not only a great lifter, but his aptly named book shows he can teach you exactly what he has done to become so strong. This book surprised me in it's realistic style, which makes you feel as if Steve is sitting with you at his kitchen table, telling you his secrets. Not only does this book show what he has done to become strong, but it outlines many different excercises and lifting ro. "Very Innovative!" according to Thomas M. Seay. For some time I have been one of those who, for some reason, believed that strength could only be built with barbells and dumbells in a nice, clean gym. This peculiar way of thinking was due to being under the spell of body-bulding and the fashionable scene that goes along with it nowadays.Sure barbells and dumbells need to be a big part of a strength trainers "arsenal" but, thanks to writers like B. As far from mainstream as it gets, excellent, very worth reading More a booklet than a book, but inspiring and well worth the read. Steve Justa is a modern descendant of the Old Time Strongmen, one of those outliers who has spent his life building amazing practical strength. Here he lays out some of the training systems he used to build that strength. Barrel lifting, isometrics, weighted running, shovel lifts, sled pulling, the Backlift, the Hand-and-Thigh lift,
