All paperback purchased on Amazon.com include a free Kindle version via Kindle MatchBook! Running, rowing, weightlifting, gymnastics—today’s innovative fitness programs draw from many different disciplines and combine them to create what may be termed Multimodal General Physical Preparedness (MMGPP) training. But the explosive growth in popularity of MMGPP training is sometimes problematic. Neophyte trainers can find themselves in over their heads when teaching complex skills to groups of varying ability, and athletes, lacking clear exercise progressions, may attempt movements they’re not ready for, leading to poor form and retarded progress. That’s why I created BY THE NUMBERS. By the Numbers is a system for instructing MMGPP that emphasizes progression at every level. It builds exercises pose-by-pose, movement skill exercise-by-exercise, and tests movement skill with incremental increases in volume, load, and intensity. It’s effective whether you’re teaching yourself, or leading a class with dozens of athletes. This 568 page manual includes... By the Numbers is all about creating the best moving general population gyms in the world. Want yours to be one of them? Start using BY THE NUMBERS today!

Great manual

This is a comprehensive introduction to crossfit workouts and the proper form. The concept of the book is that there are a number of positions within each exercise that define the exercise. Learn the positions "by the numbers" with great color photographs and you're probably doing it right. Manseau is clearly experienced as he highlights common mistakes, or faults, and offers great advice on how to correct them. This is a great book for an anyone involved in the sport.
