Elite Physique: The New Science of Building a Better Body is a revolutionary approach to male physique transformation that offers a fresh approach to body sculpting. Written by Dr. Chad Waterbury, a physical therapist who understands how bodies change with age, the book features over 100 exercises and 50 exercise videos for men seeking training programs designed to build muscle, burn fat, or target those problem areas that are slower to respond to training.

The book begins by performing an honest physical assessment to establish a starting point and more accurately gauge your progress. As you move into exercises for the lower body and upper body, you'll find tips on altering exercises to alleviate stress on primary joints like the shoulders, elbows, wrists, lower back, hips, and knees. Video clips offer demonstrations of many of the exercises, highlighting proper technique and common mistakes.

You'll learn the finer points of sculpting the midsection and will be able to create programs to target a lagging body part, either as an add-on to full-body training or as a stand-alone high-frequency training plan. Waterbury also includes advice on how to make staple lifts such as squats, deadlifts, and presses more joint friendly for older, more physically battered lifters. He breaks down how training must change as you age—with a program for a 20-year-old looking different than one for a 50-year-old.

Elite Physique: The New Science of Building a Better Body is a comprehensive guide that provides everything you need to know to achieve your fitness goals. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced lifter, this book will help you take your physique to the next level. So don't give up if muscle growth seems nonexistent; with Elite Physique, you can achieve the body you've always dreamed of.
