Strength Training Secrets

The Key To An Exponential Leap in Power Is Now At Your Fingertips

"Easily readable and on current issues within sports science." - Alex Wolf, Strength and Conditioning Coach, U.K.

Dear Athlete,
When I was asked to write to you about a new book, ‘Strength Training Secrets’, I asked the author a simple but crucial question:

“What are the benefits of strength training?”

I needed to see a copy of the book. There are lots of books on training around and many of them, frankly, are not very good. I wanted to get to the nitty-gritty, the heart of the matter: What good will this book actually do for one of our members?

After all, neither you nor I have time to waste reading books that don’t offer some real and lasting payoff.

I received a draft copy of the book by return, along with the answer to my question about the benefits that you, the reader would receive. Suddenly I became seriously enthusiastic – and I want to share that enthusiasm with you.

The advantages ownership of this new book brings are outstanding and undeniable. The book will be a best-seller for one simple reason: whether you are a top athlete or simply someone who is interested in attaining superb overall well-being, this strength manual will set you on the road to maximum power, agility, balance and coordination – quickly and safely.

The new book, Strength Training Secrets, is by Danny M O’Dell, MA. CSCS*D. In around 80 pages it delivers a solid framework of scientifically based training methodology and exercise pattern movements.

Rather than hyping the book unnecessarily, you’ll find below the answer to my question: “What are the benefits of strength training?”

Read it. The key to an exponential leap in power is now at your fingertips.

You now possess the key to an
exponential leap in strength development

I have listed below what you will gain by reading ‘Strength Training Secrets’ and why I am convinced this power-generating book belongs in your hands:

• Increased power output which increases speed of movement -- thereby heightened sport prowess

• Reduced incidence of injury

• Enhanced psychological aura surrounding the more physical and powerfully prepared athlete

• Increased agility, balance and coordination with more power available to the athlete

What about the ordinary man in the street?

The short and sweet answer is strength building will lead to increased mental and physical stamina to better endure the stresses of daily living in this modern world of constant pressure to be on the go continually:

• Increased energy: more endurance, power and strength which translate into more useable energy

• Improved digestion and elimination processes. Your body is built for and meant to be active in all ways

• Improved intellectual capacity and productivity. Your brain needs a reprieve from thinking; physical exercise provides that respite from the constant intellectual thinking tasks of our modern life

• Better sleep: exercise enables a better sleep pattern to develop

• Weight loss: muscle burns more calories than fat because of the higher rate of metabolism within the muscle tissues

• Strong bones: increased bone mineral density as a result of the imposed loads being placed upon the bone during the exercise sessions

• Control of depression: you are active in a productive manner and the brain sends out endorphins signaling a happy pleasant state of mind during and after exercise

• Decreased stress: you are doing something for YOURSELF

• Added protection from heart disease: lower BP reading in many cases with just a small amount of increased activity and as little as ten pounds of weight loss

• Increased endorphins (pain killers): the runners high

• Increased self-confidence, self image, self-perception and outward self-projection.

Further benefits of strength training

Here are further benefits users of Danny M. O’Dell’s Strength Training Secrets workbook will enjoy:

• Body fat percentage decreases

• Lean tissue percentage increases

• Blood pressure readings decrease

• Heart rate decreases

• Serum cholesterol decreases

• Range of motion and flexibility increases

• Strength increases

• Lung function increases

• Bone mineral density increases

• Cardiovascular circulation capacity increases

The drawbacks of no strength training

Those who decide not to bother with strength training risk a great deal: declining health with increased risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, lowered self esteem, lack of power to protect against falls and loss of balance in the older years. A decaying power output leads to the inability to function on your own. Here’s what happens:

x Body fat percentage increases

x Lean Tissue Percentage decreases

x Blood Pressure readings increases

x Heart Rate increases

x Serum cholesterol increases

x Range of motion and flexibility decreases

x Strength decreases

x Lung function decreases

x Bone mineral density decreases

x Cardiovascular circulation capacity decreases

Strength training: some common misconceptions

The biggest misconception relates to the building of muscle mass. It does not come overnight, but nor does it take forever. Here are some facts:

• Fat is not lost by doing endless sessions of running at a slow speed

• If you stop exercising the muscles do not turn to fat, they are completely separate tissues so it is physiologically impossible for this to happen. What is taking place is the muscles are atrophying due to the lack of continued exertion and (as) the person continues to eat the training diet, which soon covers the muscles with a larger and larger layer of fat tissues

• Women will not ever, repeat ever bulk up like a man. This is due to the lower testosterone in their bodies

• Flexibility is not lost on those who develop power and strength IF the person performs full range of motion movements

A perfect and to the point reference
“The fitness and sport-training industry's are loaded with professionals who try to make a quick buck from the population at large with fad and gimmick type ideas. The reality is that training for fitness or sport is a simple concept with simple procedures. Strength Training Secrets, a book by Danny O'Dell, is a perfect and to the point reference that covers all that you need to know with respect to this topic. It is a wonderful resource for both beginners as well as advanced participants”.

Real help with the Olympics!
“Thank you so much--this will really help with prehabilitation for the synchronized swimming team I am working with. One was in Greece at the Olympics!”
Cheryl W

Lost inches all over, sleep and feel better
“I started lifting weights mid January of this year 2 times a week. At the start, I was using 5-pound to maximum of 10-pound weights. As time has progressed, the lightest weight I now use is a 10-pound weight and it goes up from there. At present, I can now press 45-pounds, run up and down stairs with 30-pound weights, I have lost inches all over my body, sleep better and feel better over all.”
Shanwa

Problems disappear
“I have fibromyalgia and osteoporosis. I had been going to physical therapy and acupuncture, one of them weekly. I have not returned to either since early February. I am sleeping better and have much less problems since starting the weight lifting.”
Sandra

A craftsman at his trade. A labour of love!
“Composite Training and Strength Training Secrets have both become a necessary educational resource for me. Danny's meticulousness to detail in both of these books is phenomenal! Science, theory and practical application all interwoven into an easy and understandable format. The variety of exercises and the way the series of them were constructed, definitely displays a "craftsman" at his trade! A "labor of love" through trial and error, never compromising technique and form, and always advocating injury prevention. These books should be in your library, or it's not complete!”
Leon T. Watford, CPT, LPTA

Virtually EVERYONE can gain from this book
“The whole truth Danny is modestly withholding is that he used to call this book "Strength Training Basics" until a group of us read it and were convinced that "Basics" wasn't a fair indication of the wealth of knowledge virtually EVERYONE can gain from this book. I recommend it highly.”
Stephen Holt, BSE, CSCS, PES
