at optimal times by manipulating six different training phases.
Serious Strength Training discusses these different training phases
including anatomical adaptation, hypertrophy, mixed, maximum strength,
muscle definition, and transition.

you:
* scientifically based guidelines for periodization
workouts.
* new information on incorporating popular bodybuilding systems
into the periodization plan
* 80 exercises that cause the greatest stimulation in the muscles.

body's changing dietary needs during each phase of training.
Serious Strength Training the second edition also presents a revolutionary
metabolically based approach-created by Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale (author
of the Anabolic Solution and Metabolic Diet) which allows readers
to structure their diets to meet their individual metabolic profiles.
Serious Strength Training also includes programs for strength trainers
and bodybuilders as well as for those with special needs and interests.
