Push-Ups & Pyramids – 2nd Edition Available Now!
I’m pleased to announce the availability of the second edition of “Push-Ups & Pyramids, The Ultimate Guide To Maximize Your Reps.” I am sure that you will feel, as I do, that it is the ultimate guide to unlocking your body’s full potential. The book demonstrates the power of the pyramid training routine through the lens of what I consider to be the perfect exercise – the mighty, time-tested push-up.
At the time of the first edition’s release, I had just discovered the power of incorporating pyramid training into my routine. After applying the principles, I could crank 200 reps out in under 20 minutes. I wanted to share what I had found and to help people looking for similar information. I had spent many hours researching, going through trial and error to perfect this routine. Despite no marketing effort, it accomplished the main goal – helping people realize their fitness goals. If it would have supported only one person, that was good enough for me – mission accomplished. It’s been over seven years since the first edition’s release, so the time is right for an update.
But since the first release, I have gained even more knowledge and information that I wanted to share. Making the second edition has also been a labor of love, done only in my spare time; it has taken longer to get out than I would have liked, but I am pleased with the results. There is so much more additional information that I wanted to share, which was the motivating factor behind the effort to create a second edition in the first place. I wanted to delve deeper into this unique and effective training method, pyramids, because it has worked effectively for me and many others. If the information within the book is applied, it will work for you, too.
The second edition has a revamped additional insight to help anyone just beginning their journey or continuing their training with pyramids. As with the first edition, the second edition of “Push-Ups & Pyramids” is designed to be accessible to everyone, from complete beginners to experienced fitness enthusiasts seeking to add another dimension to their workouts. Each chapter is crafted to provide valuable information, clear instructions, and practical advice.
Push-Ups & Pyramids – 2nd Edition Overview
Push-Ups & Pyramids is not just a book about performing push-ups, nor is it strictly about the pyramid training routine. It will serve as a roadmap to personal strength, endurance, and resilience while helping instill a new level of self-confidence you may not have thought possible. Yes, it does teach you a series of push-up variations where you can progress from being unable to perform a single rep of the standard form of the exercise to ultimately doing a one-arm push-up. It also teaches you what a pyramid routine is, its origination, and, most importantly, how you can construct routines depending on your goals and objectives. Pyramids can be performed with any exercise, so once you learn this technique, you can apply it to any exercise to ramp up your max and progress to more challenging variations of exercise. It is also sprinkled with additional information on the importance of nutrition, rest, recovery, and progressive overload, lessons that will take you far in your quest. Without further ado, let’s get to the meat and potatoes of the book.
The first chapter, “In Pursuit of Perfection: Are Push-Ups The Perfect Exercise?” dives into why push-ups, an age-old exercise, hold the power to transform your body and mind. We explore the versatility and effectiveness of push-ups, providing a solid case for why they might be the perfect exercise.
