Here it is:
I'm 34 years old and I've always felt a little puny. I could be one of those people that is never happy with their body, but for now lets assume that my current evaluation of my physique is semi-objective.
The prototypical desk jockey.
That is to say I'm 5 foot ten inches tall, 152 pounds with about 14 percent body fat.
I'm a skinny looking guy and if I reach down to my sides there is a little something to hold on to, but thats not my focus.
Workout plan:
Scrawny to Brawny
The book focuses on the anatomy of the long and lanky suggesting specific exercise adjustments to suit the shape of the "ectomorph".
Part of what I like from just reading the book is that it has corrective exercises built in. For example, the first phase of the program is all about observing your natural shoulder and knee positions and prescribing a set of exercises to get you tuned up for the more heavy lifting. I'm perpetually tweaked in one way or another so it is refreshing to approach a program that has at least some focus on keeping the body in order.
