The genesis of More Muscle goes back more than 20 years, when I was owner of the original Gold s Gym in Venice, California. The notes I began jotting down on both the practice m~d scientific basis of weight training had the makings of a book. In fact, I remember the original working title: Gold s Gym Science of Sport--a mouthful of pomp and circumstance. My work at Gold s Gsqn offered a unique vantage point. The world s most \"hard-core\" bodybuilders, weight lifters, and professional athletes trained there, hour after grueling hour, to meet their lofty goals. And the few exercise scien- tists who were, at that time, studying tile effects of weight training, followed the champions every tbotstep. Many of the Kvm members were everyday people, from all walks of life, with more modest training goals. Some were weight training for fitness, some for improved sports performance, some to achieve a more attractive appearance. Yet, however different the training goals for elite and average lifters may have been, all lifters had one thing in common: a desire for physical change. More Muscle will help you achieve the positive physical changes you seek. If you are a high school or college athlete who wants to improve your strength and power, a well-developed bodybuilder who wants to look even more cut and buffed, or a fitness enthusiast who lifts regularly at home or the gym to get in better muscular shape, this book is for you. In ~Iore Muscle you ll find many exceptional featt~res, including the following: ~ A no-nonsense explanation of why weight training works. ~ Information-packed sections explaining the capabilities, special stresses, and the care and repair of the weight trainer s body. ~ Chapters that address your specific training goals.
