Strength Training for All Body Types: The Science of Lifting and Levers , written by Lee Boyce and Melody Schoenfeld, is a comprehensive resource that explores how different body types manage various exercises and how to optimize physical attributes for optimal performance. The book covers 13 body types, including Tall, Short, Big all over, Short arms and long legs, Short legs and long arms, Long torso, Long torso, short legs, and long arms, Long torso, long legs, and short arms, Short torso, short legs, and long arms, Short torso, long legs, and short arms, Long femurs and short shins, Long shins and short femurs, Small hands, and more. Professionals working with people of various shapes and sizes will learn how to modify common lifts like the deadlift, squat, and bench press to maximize training outcomes and reduce the risk of injury. Detailed analysis and descriptions for each exercise variation provide the rationale for the modification and the science that explains why it is beneficial. The authors also dig into the physics of the body and describe how the length and proportions of body levers (e.g., arms, legs, torso) have an impact on the body's response to load. You will be better equipped to help clients use their body's proportions to their advantage rather than being a hindrance to optimal performance. Packed full of strength training exercises, sample workouts, and conditioning work designed for different body sizes, Strength Training for All Body Types gives you the tools you need to help your clients make changes to their technique, become stronger, and live healthier lives.
