Jim's Weight Training Guide, Superset Style!: A Resistance Training Method For Weight loss, Muscle Growth, Endurance and Strength Training

by James Atkinson

Hi, I'm James Atkinson (Jim to my friends and readers). I'm a qualified fitness coach, competing bodybuilder and have a burning desire to help others reach their fitness goals. I have been training for nearly 20 years and this training has taken me from long distance running to bodybuilding competition. It is fair to say that I have learned the secrets of weight loss and fitness from my own personal journey. I have been fat, skinny and muscle bound throughout my fitness career and I really feel fulfillment from helping and advising others when it comes to their goals. This book is all about the very well-known but little practiced (correctly) method of training known as "Supersets." My aim with this book is to give you the knowledge so you will: Be able to identify the workload that best suits your training goal Effectively add supersets to your existing workouts Use the method "full time" Plan to use supersets to target your weaknesses Be in a position to devise your own workout routine using this method From my first year of resistance training I knew of the superset concept but it was many years later that I started to use it to good effect in my training and later, my clients training too. It was through my own exercise and learning that I was able to fashion this method into something that could be used in all types of workout. Whether you are looking to build muscle, burn fat or even train for endurance, you can: Use supersets to shorten your workouts Increase intensity Add volume to your training Add variety to your average training session This book includes examples of full workout routines for different levels of fitness and different fitness goals. These can be followed directly from the book, but my main focus is to pass on my knowledge so you can adapt your training or tweak the featured routines to great effect. I will wish you good look and I'll see you on the inside. Let's get started!......"

I’m a fit and start exerciser but I’ve benefited from each of James Atkinson’s books. Not only is he an experienced fitness trainer, he also teaches others through his books. Jim’s Weight Training Guide, Superset Style! really resonated with me as the exercises were shaped for a variety of levels and types of exercisers and that, combined with the conversational like flow of the prose made it not only motivational but also, easy to read.

What is a superset? Basically it’s two sets of exercises performed back to back with no rest in between. And while that sounds simple enough, there’s still a lot more to the technique than that. The book takes us into the world of getting fit and dividing the nature of the exercises based on the level or type of fitness you are trying to achieve. With gentle reminders to push your limits and record your progress, this book is a great motivator that includes a description of various exercises and the muscles they target at the end of the book. If that’s not enough, there’s also some healthy exercises and a newsletter available on the author’s website. If you’re on the road to or even thinking of, getting fit – this is a must read.
