Body by science

Book • 2009
Body by Science explains the principles and benefits of high-intensity, low-frequency weight training.

The book is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature and provides detailed explanations of how this type of training improves cardiovascular health, resting metabolic rate, glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, body composition, and more.

It introduces the 'Big Five' workout routine, which involves slow movements using the largest muscle groups, and discusses the importance of proper rest and recovery.

The authors also address genetic factors in muscle development and provide guidance for athletes and seniors.

The book is well-organized, well-researched, and includes numerous graphs and diagrams to support its claims.
