Explosive Ergogenics for Athletes: Using the Science of Nutrigenomics to Improve Performance

Athletes in explosive sports need to build performance traits like reaction, startingstrength, maximal speed, striking force, and power-endurance. These explosiveathletes are desperate for the truth and scientific validation of how nutrition canamplify their training results. In the past, these athletes and their coaches have hadto rely on nutritional advice focused on bodybuilding or endurance sports. This bookwill change the way explosive athletes train, adapt, and supercompensate, resultingin superior sport specific athletic performance.Explosive Ergogenics for Athletes leverages the new science of nutrigenomics toamplify the specific genes involved in muscle growth, neuromuscular power, fine motorskills, and even fat loss. Explosive athletes deserve scientifically valid and practicalsolutions that match the metabolic demands of their sport. This book delivers thesesolutions.For the past 28 years, Rick Brunner has helped over 1,500 explosive athletes andtheir strength and conditioning coaches in football, baseball, hockey, basketball, trackand field sprints, throws, and jumps, Olympic weightlifting, and many others achievebreakaway gains in reaction, starting power, maximal speed, striking force, andpower-endurance. As a nutrition scientist and coach, Rick pulls the facts fromthousands of research studies to make practical sense of their application in realworldtraining/nutrition plans. Rick calls upon his extensive training and collaborationwith Soviet and Russian scientists since the 80’s to help deliver modern usefulinformation that athletes in explosive sports can use right away.Explosive Ergogenics for Athletes
