Mike Gillette – Rings of Power

Rings can have a redemptive–and almost magical–impact on your long-term strength training… Why? Because ring work replicates natural, multi-dimensional, functional, self-correcting movement. Rings reduce the destructive stress on the joints often caused by traditional weight lifting–with its repetitive, forced, linear “grinding of the gears”. With ring work, the adaptive, strength-enhancing stress goes to the muscles–where it belongs… The rings are strength saviors for the over-forties—and in many cases represent a wiser, safer choice for younger athletes seeking to push their physical capabilities to ever-greater heights. The forgiving, user-friendly rings have the power to: Restore former strength lost to joint pain Rekindle your passion for intense, results-producing exercise Reengineer your body into a sleeker, tougher vehicle that continues to get stronger and stronger and stronger–pain-free Reverse the damage and imbalance wrought by an over-reliance on machine-based exercise Release you from the strength plateaus in your training–by introducing an infinite variability of adaptive challenge into your workouts Reclaim your full physical capabilities–and then help you exceed those capabilities Rejuvenate your system–through a newfound freedom from pain and a newfound ease of movement And the glory of it is that–in his inspirational Rings of Power–Mike Gillette gives you a super-simple yet immensely powerful plan to immediately transform yourself physically with rings alone. Follow Gillette’s clear-cut guide–and your severely-enhanced athletic capability is a foregone conclusion… “I wish I had Mike Gillette’s book when I started with rings. The crystal clear instruction on techniques in this book would have saved me countless hours of often-fruitless experimentation. This is a fantastic book for all ages, but absolutely essential for the aging athlete.”–DR. CHRIS HARDY, author of Strong Medicine
