Synopsis

Love him or hate him, Triple H does what he wants, when he wants to do it. And in this book, for the first time anywhere, he tells you how he does it - and how you can too. "Making the Game" is Triple H's verbal and visual blueprint for building your body. He discusses how he morphed a skinny 135-pound 14-year-old into one of the biggest superstars in World Wrestling Entertainment. For twenty years he has lived the philosophy that training results not only in improved strength and conditioning but in increased self-discipline and the ability to focus of setting goals. This book isn't for pantywaists who would rather exercise their egos! In "Making the Game" he takes the reader step-by-step through his personal training techniques and the challenges he has had to overcome to reach the top - including how he came back from career-threatening injury with just nine months of a specially-designed rehabilitation program in 2001. He discusses the nature of exercise and the value of form over volume; the dangers of over training; how to avoid training injuries and how to inject creativity into your workout. For those who want to get themselves into the best shape of their lives, there can be no better guide.

Introduction

Whenever I'm out in public, there are two questions people always ask me. How did I get to where I am in the wrestling business, and what tips can I give them on working out?

To some, the questions may seem unrelated, but for me, they cannot be separated. Becoming a serious weight lifter as a teenager prepared me -- both physically and mentally -- to fulfill my dream of becoming a professional wrestler.

Weight training transformed me from a hundred-and-thirty-five-pound beanpole to someone who was entering bodybuilding competitions a few years later. It taught me how to set goals and remain focused on my quest to achieve them. It gave me self-confidence.

Many of the relationships that introduced me to the world of professional wrestling had their roots in the gym. And once I was in the wrestling business, my dedication to weight training and the lessons I learned through it helped me overcome challenges and continually shoot my career to the next level.

This book isn't an exact blueprint on how to turn yourself into a twohundred-sixty-pound World Heavyweight Champion.

This is a workout book that will give you training tips, exercise examples, and information on nutrition and eating properly, all designed to put you on the road to an improved physique and a healthier lifestyle.

It's the story of how a kid from New Hampshire worked himself to the top of the professional wrestling industry.

Most importantly, this book explains how working out led to my professional success.

Whether you're trying to become the best player on your high school football team, live a healthier lifestyle, look good at the beach, or just want to give yourself a better shot with the babe down the block, I believe a dedication to weight training will provide the structure to help you achieve your goals.

It certainly did for me.
