This report overviews the work that was done in year 2 of our investigation. We completed all of the upper and total body resistance training (6 months) groups (n=17 to 21 per group) and are now examining the longitudinal data. In year 3 will work to finish the field training and endurance training groups along with completion of the normative men group. We have completed a number of acute cross-sectional studies and have made the following observations: (1) Different from prior studies in the literature with small n sizes, women can see a transient increase in testosterone in response to an acute resistance training workout, (2) A relationship between free testosterone and regional fat distribution exists in healthy women too. (3) Insulin-like growth factor response to exercise in women is related to the pre-exercise values and not related to immunoreactive growth hormone responses; (4) Post-exercise cortisol concentrations explain the immuno-suppression observed after exercise, (5) To predict abilities in repetitive lifting tasks the best predictors were 1 RM box lift and the 2 mile run time; (6) Prediction of strength from cross-sectional area of muscles can be misleading due to a high neural component not factored into many equations; (7) The relative gender difference in occupational lifting performance which requires both strength and endurance is less than in pure strength only tasks.

One of the nation's elite strength and conditioning coaches presents a unique training program designed to help men achieve functional strength and muscular balance throughout their bodies For decades, the conventional measure of an individual's strength was the amount of weight he could bench press. Now, that measure is being challenged by expert trainers like Robert dos Remedios who argue that the variety of movement patterns used in functional training is the real key to getting bigger, stronger, and more powerful. In Men's Health Power Training, this acclaimed collegiate strength and conditioning coach describes in detail the methods he has used to develop hundreds of Division I scholarship athletes, including several current NFL players. The key features that make this book a standout in the fitness field include: • exercises geared toward functional strength that can be utilized in real-world situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture • training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective • compound, multijoint exercises that replace the less-effective isolation exercises found in many fitness books • no-nonsense dietary information utilizing a new and innovative food pyramid developed by the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition that will optimize strength gains, recovery, and physical progress

Every person’s body is different. Short, tall, or big all over, training should be designed to accommodate an athlete’s different joint angles, bone lengths, and overall body structure. In Strength Training for All Body Types: The Science of Lifting and Levers, Lee Boyce and Melody Schoenfeld have teamed up to create a unique resource that explains how different bodies manage various exercises and how to best take advantage of physical attributes to optimize those movements. Strength Training for All Body Types covers 13 body types: Tall Short Big all over Short arms and long legs Short legs and long arms Long torso Long torso, short legs, and long arms Long torso, long legs, and short arms Short torso, short legs, and long arms Short torso, long legs, and short arms Long femurs and short shins Long shins and short femurs Small hands Professionals working with people of various shapes and sizes will learn how to modify common lifts like the deadlift, squat, and bench press to maximize training outcomes and reduce the risk of injury. Detailed analysis and descriptions for each exercise variation provide the rationale for the modification and the science that explains why it is beneficial. The authors also dig into the physics of the body and describe how the length and proportions of body levers (e.g., arms, legs, torso) have an impact on the body’s response to load. You will be better equipped to help clients use their body’s proportions to their advantage rather than being a hindrance to optimal performance. Packed full of strength training exercises, sample workouts, and conditioning work designed for different body sizes, Strength Training for All Body Types gives you the tools you need to help your clients make changes to their technique, become stronger, lift more, and avoid injury.
