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

數學不應只是計算或公式，而是揭示宇宙結構與內在真理的語言。就像音樂或繪畫一樣，數學也是人類表達美的一種形式。----想像你上一堂美術課，只被教導如何粉刷柵欄，卻從未見過梵谷或畢卡索的畫作，甚至不知道他們的存在。這聽來難以置信，卻正是我們多數人學習數學的方式──因此，數學成了令人昏昏欲睡、乏味無趣的代名詞。但事實大不相同。在《愛與數學》這本充滿熱情的著作中，知名數學家愛德華・弗倫克爾向我們揭開數學的真實面貌──它不只是邏輯與公式的堆砌，更是一種蘊含著深刻美感與無窮創造力的藝術。他以親身經歷熱切訴說：數學並非遙不可及的學術象牙塔，而是我們每一個人都能接觸、感受與欣賞的宇宙語言，它能跨越文化、穿越時空，把人心緊緊連結在一起。《愛與數學》是一段雙重旅程的故事：一方面探索數學世界的神奇與優雅，另一方面講述一位年輕人──作者自己──如何深陷其中，燃燒生命追尋真理。弗倫克爾曾在充滿歧視的教育體系中奮戰不懈，最終躍升為當代最具影響力的數學家之一。他致力鑽研的，是過去半世紀最宏大也最深遠的數學構想──「朗蘭茲綱領」（the Langlands Program）。這項被譽為數學界「大一統理論」的計畫，讓各數學領域得以彼此對話、資源共享，解開像費馬大定理（Fermat's Last Theorem）那樣的千古難題。《愛與數學》的核心，是一則關於開啟全新思維之門的故事。它讓我們看見，數學不只是知識，而是一種豐富生命、深化世界理解的方式。這本書是一封熱情的邀請函，邀請你踏入那個隱而未見、充滿魔力的數學宇宙，重新發現這個世界的無限可能。----我不知道我是否曾經把「愛」和「數學」這兩個詞放在一起使用，但這本書改變了我的看法。弗倫克爾揭示了數字的客觀之美。這些數字，如同音符一般，獨立於我們的心靈而存在，並且邀請我們勇敢地探索其深度，以神祕的方式將其組合起來，敘述我們的故事。讀完這本書後，讓人忍不住想要放下一切，再次嘗試數學，參與這終極的奧祕。──克里斯．卡特（Chris Carter），美國科幻電視劇《X檔案》（X-Files）編劇這本書非常易讀，充滿了激情，描述了一些最令人興奮的想法。我強烈推薦這本書給所有對美充滿好奇的數學愛好者。──大衛．葛羅斯（David Gross），諾貝爾物理學獎得主《愛與數學》＝快節奏的冒險故事＋親密的回憶錄＋內部人士的敘述。探索破解現代數學核心的「羅塞塔石碑」。這

If you’ve ever longed to start again, doubted your own courage, or simply needed a reminder that dreams don’t expire with age, this book was written for you.Step into my journey — and perhaps, into a braver version of your own.Cinnie是個看不出年紀的神秘女人，身上同時具備天真好奇與世故洞察兩個相反特質，有種把世界當成大遊樂場的開放心態，造就這本獨一無二的作品。讀者可以把本書當成求學遊記，你會看到她們在異國文化差異裡苦中作樂，也會看到她們在孤單環境中的堅韌和努力，細品她們對待每一縷溫暖善意的感恩，更會看到一位媽媽對孩子最深刻、最廣袤、無邊無際的永恆親情。這是一本為了女兒才存在的書，而我們何其有幸，得以透過Cinnie的細膩觀察和溫柔文字，一起進入這個讓人跟著劇情心情起伏跌宕，又哭又笑的幸福時空中。——鄧心彤（耕己出版總編輯）
