Personal Trainer Review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mind and Muscle (Paperback)
Speaking from a professional point of view, mind & muscle provides an excellent base for persons with a knowledge of training as well as catering for those with lesser gym based experience. I found this book to be both Inspirational and educational because none of us can be so niave to say we know everything! Thumbs up all round, and being a Human Kinetics book as well adds further weight to quality. Victore in mente, victore in compore (Conquer the mind, conquer the body)

Innovative Approach to a Great Topic,
By brad whitson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mind and Muscle (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book. The explanation of mental skills for bodybuilding is done in a creative way. The exercises are easy to follow and they are truly helpful. I have become much stronger mentally since reading this book and it has helped me shape my body. I now know that I can have the body that I always wanted. I recommend that every bodybuilder, strength training coach and those interested in fitness buy this book. It is one of a kind. There is simply nothing out there that compares to this book.

Training the brain as well as the body,
By Karl Miller "kemspeaks" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mind and Muscle (Paperback)
Looking for an "edge" in the gym (or in life, because the lessons of Mind and Muscle translate very well outside of the weightroom? This book offers some very helpful practices for involving the mind in your workouts.Mr. Whitmarsh's book centers on the idea that tremendous gains in size and durability can be made through an active mind-muscle connection. Through the use of various assessment exercises, the program is designed to teach you training strengths and weaknesses, and how to use mental tools to increase your effectiveness in goal setting and strength gains. If you spend any time in a weight room, its clear that most people go about their lifting as a passive participant, especially from a mental standpoint. While involving mental tools is a slow learning process (as Whitmarsh admits), when incorporated into your program, the benefits are substantial. Using some of his methods, I've increased my bench presses over 20 pounds in the last month. I also have an increased desire to excel. My trainer is big on the idea that "Intensity + Intelligence = Results". If your program requires a mental boost, or if you fail to recognize the importance of the thought process in your lifting regime, I encourage you to pick up this book. |
