Enamait ebook

However, a beginner lacks the intuition to do this. As far as the writing goes, Ross' continual use of rhetorical straw-men is very annoying and unnecessary, but doesn't distract too much from the book. Mar 10, Michael D. Excellent book that I've bought as an Xmas present for five or six friends and relatives. Enamait goes against the grain in that he isn't involved with the typical circle-jerk guru squad who write testimonials for each other.

He tends to stand on his own so doesn't get as much hype as he should. It's too bad as his material is solid and he actually trains real athletes. This book is based mostly on bodyweight exercise. Most of the exercises are self-explanatory. Some involve basic equipment, but Excellent book that I've bought as an Xmas present for five or six friends and relatives. Some involve basic equipment, but nothing extravagant.

Enamait also doesn't coddle readers like they are idiots who have never seen a pushup. I like that as I don't need to feel like I'm in a 4th grade gym class. Overall, a solid book with excellent workouts and sample routines. It definitely gives you more than you'll need to get in great shape with little or nothing. I highly recommend it Nov 06, Tom Roberts rated it liked it.

Good book, but I prefer Infinite Intensity by a longshot. For strictly bodyweight stuff I like Sonnen's Gymnastic Body see my review.

Aug 19, Dorum rated it it was amazing. One of the better books on bodyweight training out there. High on information, and very low on fluff. Ross Enamait gives a no nonsense approach.

I also don't get the usual guru vibe that can be retrieved from other similar books many of which are quite poor in information.

The book contains information for the usual split of bodyweight strength exercises: push, pull, legs. Then it goes on into supplementary training: isometrics, core and conditioning. Afterwards, it finishes with information on One of the better books on bodyweight training out there.

Afterwards, it finishes with information on diet and programming. In short, everything you need in just one book. What I like even more is that Mr. Enamait actually walks the walk. He is performing all the described exercises, including some very advanced skills like one armed pullup and one arm ab wheel rollout. I believe that there are some other books which are more scientific e.

However, this book is probably the best for a beginner to advanced-intermediate trainee. Highly recommended. Jan 25, Ryon rated it it was amazing Shelves: physical-fitness. Ross Enamait is someone who practices what he preaches. He doesn't advertise gimmicky methods to get ripped or to get that beach body. You won't see him on late-night TV. What you will get is ass kicking no-nonsense conditioning drills to get your ass in shape, but only if you're willing to put in the hard work and hours of time it takes.

Jul 19, Margot rated it liked it Shelves: This book is mostly a long list of bodyweight exercises - sometimes needing resistance bands or a medicine ball. It's pretty handy to have all these options presented together, although a lot of the exercises are above my current fitness level. I liked that this book was not focussed only on maximal strength currently very popular in the fitness community , but also stressed the importance of strength endurance, speed and explosive strength.

I had hoped to get a bit more information about how to put together a training program, the information in that section was a little too sparse for me.

A great resource for tough exercise routines, but his nutrition section is one giant pseudo-scientific rant that belongs in a conspiracy theorist forum. May 15, Christos Andreev rated it really liked it. I train with free weights and this book provide me with a new perspctive on lifting.

In his books he also goes in depth with interval training, circuit training, wind sprints, jumping rope, plyometrics, isometrics, sand bag training, there's even stuff on exercise bands.

But whats really important is not just the individual exercises or routines , but the ideas pertaining to getting yourself in condition, and how they relate to combat sports. I don't care if your a world champion fighter or at an elite level of fitness, the workouts laid out in his books will kick your ass and take your conditioning to a new level.

I think the only thing I disagree with him on is he downplays, if not out and out excludes distance running opting for interval runs and wind sprints. Ali and Fraizer in their fights, incredibly conditioned fighters like Henry Armstrong or Ray Robinson, and Rocky Marciano who was probably the best conditioned heavyweight ever and he would sometimes run as much as 15 miles in a day while training for a fight.

So while I agree that sprints and intervals should be used, and yes there is such a thing as doing too much running, you can't really argue with greats like those whose conditioning surpasses any boxers fighting right now that I can think of.
