Comments from the Authors:
As the author of this book (co-author, actually, along with Jim Stoppani, PhD, one of the foremost authorities in the field of exercise science), I thought I'd share with potential readers why we wrote Stronger Arms & Upper Body the way we did...
Our goal for this book was to present both basic and cutting edge training advice in the most efficient, reader-friendly format possible. We didn't want to beat around the bush with unnecessary information that won't really help you in the gym. From Chapter 1, we dove right into the information you can use in the gym today.
In the first part of the book, we explain how to design your own training program, but in Chapters 11 and 12 we went ahead designed full training programs, and even individual workouts, for those who would rather not design their own programs. That makes this book good for anyone - beginning lifters to advanced gym rats - looking to build muscle, lose bodyfat and improve overall health.
The reason for having a chapter devoted solely to individual workouts (Chapter 12) was to cater to those who don't want to do an entirely new program - these individuals (who often tend to be advanced lifters) are happy with their existing programs, but still like to try a new workout every now and then to keep things fresh.
Chapter 10 is truly for the advanced lifter, as it's all about high-intensity, cutting edge techniques you can employ to take your workouts (and your physique) to the next level. Hardcore gym rats will love the novel techniques included in this section.
I hope everyone who reads this book will at least find a few useful tips and techniques to add to their workouts for better results in upper body training, whether the goal is to add muscular size, strength, definition or all of the above.
