THE POWER OF ONE (FREE BOOK)
The Power of One is a joint effort by Paul Zaichik and Guys at Bodyweightculture. The goal of the book is to explore the functionality of unilateral bodyweight exercises. Most physical activities are performed with one arm or one leg at a time. Examples are throwing a ball, throwing a punch, hitting with a racket, throwing a kick. Indeed most athletes perform unilateral skills, yet train bilaterally. The Power of One demonstrates the advantages of unilateral training.
Since most people are not aware of how to properly progress from two sided to one sided skills, the five step Power of One program is presented. These are the five steps one needs to take to go from a pull-up or push-up or squat, to its one sided counterpart.
In addition to commonly known unilateral exercises just mentioned, many other fully functional one arm/one leg techniques are taught. The book not only teaches new single sided techniques, but also how to master them. Moreover, there is a section that recommends chosen unilateral training techniques that can help a trainee excel in their desired sports and activities. Hundreds of pictures (Over 300) are showcasing a variety of exercises.
The Power of One is FREE for a limited time, you need only pay for S&H. If, you want to learn difficult one arm/one leg skills the safe and the right way, then this book is for you. We encourage you to get a free copy of this book and take your training to the new heights.
We have received many emails about bodyweight seminars. And would like to let you know that Paul Zaichik, who is a very frequent contributor to BWC is looking to give 2 online courses. We would like to extend this opportunity to our members as well.
These courses are as follows.
Bodyweight Training in Depth: This course covers every muscle group and shows how bodyweight training can target any specific muscle group or a needed movement. The world of bodyweight training is taken out of contest of a few popular exercises such as dips and crunches and explored through its full spectrum. A person walking away from this course will know how to train for any specific goal using only his or her own weight.
Splits and Flexibility in Depth: This course goes in depths into the ElasticSteel principles and how they are applied to general flexibility and splits. Muscle groups and their respective stretches are taught in correct sequences. Many modalities that assist in muscle relaxation and facilitate stretching techniques are explained.
