Wild Strength: An Ancient Strength Training Plan for a Modern World (The Wild Athlete Plan) (Volume 1)

Wild Strength is a no-nonsense resistance training plan based on the physical activities of ancient and modern hunter gatherers. It is a Palaeolithic style manual of exercises and movements uniquely suited to the human body and dovetails ideally with current Paleo diets and lifestyles. The Wild Strength plan gives you comprehensive information on what exercises to include in a resistance training program and describes in detail how to perform them. It is THE original human exercise program. Ancient and modern hunter gatherers are arguably some of the healthiest and robust humans on the planet and this is due to their active lifestyles and healthy diet. But what exactly do their physical activities entail and more importantly, how do we incorporate them into our weekly schedules to harness the health, strength and fitness levels they enjoy? Wild Strength answers these and many other questions and gives you all the information you'll need to plan a lifetime of strength and muscle building routines to help you achieve your sporting and fitness goals. Wild Strength is not just another exercise book full of complicated gym routines and pictures of models pumping iron. It is a back-to-basics, content rich manual of strength training information based on sound, scientific principles of human movement and physiology and presented in a style that is easy to understand and simple to apply for the vast majority of trainees from beginners to elite level athletes.
