Overcoming Gravity 2nd Edition description

Commonly referred to by readers as an "exercise Bible," Overcoming Gravity is a comprehensive guide that provides a gold mine of information for gymnastics and bodyweight strength training within its large 8.5"x11" size and nearly 600 pages.

Steven Low takes the reader on a journey through logically constructing a strength-oriented bodyweight workout routine. With a highly systematic approach, he delves into the physiology behind strength training equips the reader to adequately prepare their body for the rigors of bodyweight training. This book covers much ground that other books do not, offering information health and injury management, factors that contribute to a successful routine, and actual program implementation. If you prefer your health and fitness books to include scientific data, comprehensive sample programming, and effective recommendations, Overcoming Gravity is the ideal choice for your library.

This Second Edition has been revised, expanded, and re-organized to read easier, provide more content, and offer easily accessible next-steps for beginner, intermediate, and advanced populations.

Notable improvements from the first edition include the following:

• Editing team to correct all previous editing errors.
• Increased clarity on scientific principles and routine construction.
• Updated scientific information to ensure the book aligns with current research.
• Extensive information on body part splits and population modifications, allowing one to construct a routine that fits their lifestyle and skill level.
• More in-depth explanation of each element of a routine.
• An entirely new chapter entitled Methods of Progression to ensure plateaus are never an issue.
• Expanded sample programming that includes common faults made at different skill levels.
• More real-life examples of how a routine may look.
• Addition of proper scapular positioning and technique for each exercise.
• Upgraded images that illustrate exercises from 2D to 3D.
• Modified charts with more accurate level placement and new leg exercise inclusions.

Note: This book does not contain primary gymnastics skill work like cartwheels, tumbling, swings, giants, etc.

Overcoming Gravity Advanced Programming description

Overcoming Gravity 2nd Edition is great at what is does: Help beginners and intermediates learn how to construct routines based on underlying scientific strength training principles to work toward high level upper body strength exercises. Since that book's release there have been tons of videos and tutorials on Youtube, Instagram, and other platforms on many different exercises and progressions. Progressions are aplenty, but good advice for advancing with good consistent progress is still lacking in many cases.

One of the big reasons why people are still unable to reliably progress is because of their lack of knowledge on the fundamentals of programming. I initially wrote several chapters in Overcoming Gravity 2nd Edition to help people with that. However, even when reading through these chapters it is still difficult to understand more advanced programming concepts without more explanation and experience. This e-book is one I put together to break down the fitness-fatigue model and use it to explain how to understand and implement different periodization models with reference to concepts like the popular article by Renaissance Periodization Training Volume Landmarks for Hypertrophy.

I included the Table of Contents in the above image so you can take a look at all of the concepts covered in the book. It's broken down into 6 different sections:

1. Reviewing the basic nature of periodization and understanding fitness and fatigue
2. Understanding the advanced fitness and fatigue model and basic fitness landmarks for adaptations
3. An overview of the 3 groups of periodization models and their various pros and cons along with basic examples
4. A deeper dive into the 3 groups of periodization models with in-depth examples on how to make programs with advice
5. Describing many of the different fatigue mitigating techniques (not to be confused with progression techniques) that allow one to continue to progress taking into account the simultaneous nature of fitness and fatigue during a mesocycle
6. Laying down a basic framework to implement any of the periodization methods in any of the different types of splits or methods you choose to design your own programs

Overcoming Gravity 2nd Edition mostly did a cursory look at linear sequential, undulating sequential, concurrent, and conjugate programming, but this book delves deeply into the theory and practice behind all of the different models.

I hope you guys enjoy!

Overcoming Poor Posture description

With what seems like more than 78 million books about fixing your posture, so what what makes this one different? Three things:

• We bust the myths surrounding bad posture, good posture, pain, muscular tightness, and how to approach them from a scientific standpoint.
• Instead of a cookie-cutter routine, we'll show you how to select the right exercises for your own needs.
• Since even the best routine is useless if you don’t actually do it, we’ll show you how to integrate better movement habits during the other 23.5 hours of the day.

Written by two physical therapists who have worked with thousands of people around the world, Overcoming Poor Posture is based on one simple idea: there is no such thing as perfect posture.

No two bodies are alike, and we’ll teach you how to find your own best alignment so you can live each day in health and comfort while performing your best in all the activities that matter to you. Instead of a painful issue to fix, you’ll learn to think of your postural alignment as a dynamic component of how you sit, stand, and move in your body.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Practical, real-life explanations about the factors that have shaped your posture, the link between poor posture and pain, and how your posture impacts lifestyle.
• Clear pictures demonstrating exercises for alignment, mobility, strength, and motor patterning, all with detailed instructions.
• Tips for making a habit of better posture throughout your day.
• Instruction for choosing the right exercises and structuring a routine that fits your body and goals.
• An appendix with sample programs you can use to get started right away.

Put it all together, and you’ve got a systematic approach to refining your posture for better health and performance in everything you do.

If you're already aware of many of the different exercises for posture, many of the exercises may be familiar to you. However, we teach and show you to put them together coherently with progression to work toward specific goals instead of just throwing them at your body hoping they will work.

Overcoming Tendonitis description

Tendonitis is one of the most misdiagnosed and poorly understood injuries that athletes and workers may encounter in their lifetime. Even the word "tendonitis" itself is a misnomer because from the research we understand that tendinopathy is primarily a non-inflammatory proliferation disorder with minimal to no inflammation. It seems everyone has an opinion on what to do about tendinopathy from rest to ice to old wives tales to get this pesky injury to go away. This book seeks to change that by taking an in-depth look at one of the most commonly diagnosed orthopaedic conditions and provides a systematic approach to its resolution.

Overcoming Tendonitis is a multi-faceted book that covers all topics related to tendinopathy from understanding the best available scientific research to relating the highly trained clinical rehabilitation experience its authors. It delves into the physiological understanding and process of tendinopathy to explain why the function and signs and symptoms of the tendon may differ between stages. It takes a look at the myths surrounding tendinopathy and the pain neuroscience education that can often make the rehabilitation process more complicated. It also gives guidance to patients and medical practitioners to comprehend an overview of the most scientifically accurate recommendations for treatment application.

This book is a must-have manual for clinicians who are interested in comparing the efficacy of the multitude of interventions available in today's rehabilitation landscape. It is a useful tool for patients who are experiencing tendon issues and are in need of direction for their rehabilitation in conjunction with their physical therapist. If you or someone you know are one of the millions of individuals who has dealt with the confusing, frustrating, and painful diagnosis of "tendonitis," this book is for you.
