健身巨巨都在練！10大經典鍛鍊 × 6項複合重訓 × 26種輔助訓練老派訓練的全新應用！訓練期更短、增肌更有感！ ►縱橫肌力與健身界50年，老派舉重者的經典鍛鍊法，全面系統化！ ►10大超負荷系統經典鍛鍊 × 6項全身性複合式重訓動作 × 26種增肌輔助訓練 ►針對不同需求，安排個人化課表、專項訓練，找出最適節奏、更快達成目標！ ►超值收錄「肌力標準判定表」：臥推、深蹲及硬舉、槓鈴肩推，正確施力、有效增肌！ 最初，重量訓練曾經非常單純 ——人們只需專注於「盡可能地舉起大型負重」即可。 然而，隨著時代演進，現代重訓方法可謂五花八門， 每位重訓者都想知道，究竟該怎麼選，才能快速增肌且風險最低。 與其盲從跟隨、重複試錯，不如聽聽老派舉重者怎麼說。 早在1920～1970年代，由於資訊流通尚不發達，諸如： 保羅．安德森（Paul Anderson，1956年墨爾本奧運超重量級舉重金牌得主）、 鮑伯．皮普爾斯（Bob Peoples，硬舉先生［Mr. Deadlift］）、 安東尼．迪提洛（Anthony Ditillo，力量訓練哲學家）、 哈利．帕斯柯爾（Harry Paschall，老派重訓之父），以及 鮑伯．霍夫曼（Bob Hoffman，美國舉重之父）等眾多重訓先驅， 他們用以確認某個做法有沒有效的唯一途徑，便是親自嘗試。 本書兩位作者克里斯提安．迪包鐸與湯姆．謝帕德皆為現役肌力暨體能專職教練， 兩人將前輩們親身體驗並認證的10大經典鍛鍊法， 整合為超負荷系統重訓（the overload system training）。 除了詳細說明其背後的科學原理之外，更提供適用於現代情境的實際做法。 跟著一起練，便能使訓練期更短、增肌更有感！ ★何謂超負荷？為何有助提升肌力與肌肉量？ 根據1888年發表的「阿恩特—舒爾茲定律」（Principle of Arndt and Schultz）， 重訓時給予身體足夠刺激，便能誘發適應性反應（adaptive response）並提升體能。 然而，一旦超過身體所能承受的最大耐受度（maximum tolerance）， 體能狀況就會惡化，運動傷害風險也會跟著攀升。 為此，我們必須提供「介於體能臨界值與最大耐受度之間」的刺激， 意即以超負荷為原則進行訓練。此舉能使身體產生足夠的代

This book is the first book written by Omega Ministry, the reason why it is called the "Messenger of Time and Space" series because it was inspired by visions and dreams that I received—entirely from the Heavenly Father.Sometime back in 2012, a prophet named Patricia in Toronto prophesied about writing a book, saying that it would be revealed to the world. However, it wasn't until ten years later that I began writing. “Who Is Battling for Earth—The Clash of Spiritual Warfare” is the first book of the “Messenger of Time and Space” series.I never knew that in another dimension, another time and space, Someone had been watching, observing, protecting, and silently loving me all along, guarding me secretly. My life, which was nothing but a speck of dust among the multitudes, like a drop of water in the ocean—ordinary and unremarkable—became legendary due to Someone's intervention.How our story began – one day my world collided with His, and at a certain point in time, He (God) crossed time

海峽兩岸的衝突其來有自，國族認同是問題之一。在兩岸矛盾還在發酵的今天，我們有必要進一步探討這個問題，以期尋找一個和平解決矛盾的方案。本書檢視了台灣和大陸的知識份子和國家在不同的歷史時期對兩岸的國族想像以及各自在其中的作用。本書也討論了兩者可以如何想像一個聯邦和邦聯的混合體，或者說歐盟模式，作為化解兩岸衝突的和平方案。現實主義和理想主義總是處在矛盾之中，但是對前者的理解、對後者的執著，或許才是防止衝突失控的不二法門。這本書可以給我們一些啟發。 中文版專家推薦(依姓氏筆畫順序) 施正鋒╱曾任淡江大學公共行政學系暨研究所教授、國立東華大學原住民民族學院院長，台灣獨立建國聯盟秘書長等職 夏明╱紐約市立大學研究生中心政治學教授 張茂桂╱中央研究院社會學研究所兼任研究員 葛永光╱曾任台灣大學政治系教授、國家發展研究所所長、監察院監察委員等職 錢永祥╱中央研究院人文社會科學研究中心兼任研究員、《思想》雜誌總編 蕭新煌╱中央研究院社會所兼任研究員，台灣亞洲交流基金會董事長，總統府資政 英文版專家推薦(依姓氏字母順序排列) Timothy Cheek╱不列顛哥倫比亞大學教授 Christopher R Hughes╱倫敦政治經濟學院教授 Lynn White╱普林斯頓大學教授 Timothy Ka Ying Wong╱香港中文大學教授 海峽兩岸劍拔弩張，國際社會憂心忡忡。如何理解這種緊張關係，如何化解目前的困境，本書從歷史社會學和知識份子社會學的角度，提供了一些想法，供關注兩岸和平發展的讀者參考。
