本書只有一個目標：練出非常強壯又發達的「六塊肌」「你的腹肌既是武器，又是盔甲，更是力量根源。一旦你領悟到你的腹肌需要的是訓練出最大肌力而非肌耐力，要得到殺手級六塊腹肌，只是順便而已。」●專文導讀：怪獸肌力及體能訓練中心總教練 何立安博士●審定：王啟安老師――台灣大學口筆譯講師，資深肌力與體能教練。●翻譯：陳柏瑋中醫師――中華民國運動教練學會肌力及體能丙級；怪獸訓練肌力及體能B級教練這套訓練法從菁英體操選手的肢體語言逆向設計而來，內含：◤三個殺手級訓練動作◤純粹肌力訓練法◤老派大力士心法◤傳統武術呼吸法高反覆仰臥起坐正是練不出來的原因做一般高反覆仰臥起坐，你感受到的「燃燒」是來自於乳酸堆積，這對於增強肌肉毫無幫助。正確的答案是，增加腹肌張力，同時增加「真正」的肌肉生長。──本書將教你增強肌肉張力的技巧和肌肥大的關鍵知識，聚焦這些地方，幾週就能練出來。硬派呼吸法，必須一起不開玩笑，光是呼吸，就能保護脊椎，再增強訓練效果。這是以一種將內臟壓縮到足以製成鑽石的方式呼吸方式，這種修練法可以追溯到1500年前的達摩祖師，也就是傳說中的東方武術始祖。但更重要的是，這樣的呼吸法得到了俄羅斯頂尖科學家們的認可。──本書將教你這種結合傳統武術精髓的呼吸技巧，並搭配精選訓練，加速練就腹肌。硬派仰臥起坐，保護腰背，優雅練出爆炸腹肌新改良的仰臥起坐來自於菁英體操選手訓練的逆向設計，避開誘發背痛的危險動作，使腹肌的收縮強度更高，平衡髖屈肌群對脊椎的拉力，穩定了脊椎，收縮效果再加成。──本書將教你帕維爾的獨門技巧和解除背痛的關鍵知識，更安全也更有效率。內部等長收縮的祕密，做得少比做得多更重要硬派仰臥起坐是一種刻意練習，而非破紀錄式的肌力測試，你不應該拿自己的成績與他人比較，甚至不該跟自己比較。只有一兩下的徹底執行才是重要，重複次數沒有意義。想要知道練習效果，從其他運動表現的狀況來評估就一目了然。──本書將教你認識肌肉的外部和內部等長收縮的祕密，讓訓練更精簡更集中。硬派懸吊舉腿超級強，5項要領做合格才有效但是，不用想都知道，你不該從這裡開始做。懸吊舉腿對腰部肌群的作用強度太驚人，腹外斜肌的啟動度峰值達到163%，下段腹直肌可達到300%，要獲得這種效果的5項動作要領，你必須先練好硬派呼吸法和硬派仰臥起坐才有可能。──本書將揭開這個終極動作的訓練細節和進階變化版，練出一身如武器般剛勁強健的體魄。經過
