Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Learn how to lift safely and effectively with this step-by-step guide, perfect for beginners. Discover the core principles of strength training, follow clear photo tutorials, and get expert advice on avoiding common mistakes with the four essential lifts.
MoreLong description:
The first step in building anything is to start with a solid foundation. That is as true for strength training as it is for construction. A program built on sound principles, anchored by science and proven effective time and again, will reward you with true and tangible results and lifetime of lifting success.
Focusing on the most essential information you need to know to start a safe and effective strength training program, Foundational Strength provides step-by-step explanations of the key elements and phases of the four essential lifts: squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press. Each lift is accompanied by photos that walk you through the lift from start to finish, detailing the proper mechanics and purpose of the lift.
Variations for each lift are included, helping you identify your individual starting point to ensure success, and common errors are identified to help avoid injury. Warm-up exercises ensure your body is ready for each main lift, and an assortment of accessory exercises helps you progress over time.
The book also takes the guesswork out of creating workouts, providing the basics of programming and information on how to create your own programs based on your situation, needs, and goals.
More than just a bullet-point list of movement descriptions, Foundational Strength gives you a personal coach to guide you on the first steps of your lifting journey. Get the know-how you need to build confidence and success in the gym!
