The basic premise of the book is that there are six core movements that are necessary to hit the major muscle groups of the body. They are squats, deadlifts, push, pull, lunge and rotational.<BR/><BR/>The cable woodchop is rotational. The lat pulldown is a pull movement. The DB push press is a push movement. Bulgarian split squats are a variation on lunges. the deadlift is obvious. Right now, I do either deadlifts or squats in the same workout, but not both. Then, a sixth lift is added that augments either the squat or the deadlift. The Romanian Deadlift is a deadlift variation that targets the hamstrings, including flexibility, and the glutes, to support regular deadlifts.<BR/><BR/>The "core" is rarely worked directly, because the other lifts are mostly full body lifts that hit the core as well. Deads and squats do a lot for your core muscles.<BR/><BR/>One of the things I like most about the book is that they don't waste your time with isolation exercises. There are no bicep curls or tricep-specific exercises or other "isolation" exercises. The lifts are intended to use as many muscles as possible and allow you to hit lots of muscles in a short amount of time.<BR/><BR/>I do add some warm-up and cooldown things like push-ups, pull-ups, crunches, reverse crunches, burpees, etc., but mostly I stick to the basic program.<BR/><BR/>If you want to see the specific exercises, the web-site http://www.exrx.net/ has little video clips of just about every lift you can imagine.Damonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393751713576765589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-124160833070692205.post-73293361778544116002008-01-25T12:10:00.000-05:002008-01-25T12:10:00.000-05:00We stayed at a nice condo right at the entrance to...We stayed at a nice condo right at the entrance to squaw valley (3 miles from the start). It was cheap too. If you want info I can get Adrianne to dig it up (we had a two bedroom condo).<BR/><BR/>Boy you are doing some wierd weight lifting.
