• "Karsten did a fabulous job of breaking down periodization and showing how to put the pieces together."
• "Well done!  Lots of practical applications!  Very well presented.  Thank you."
• "Exactly what I was looking for to expand my knowledge of periodization."
• "Great speaker with good humour."
• "Excellent session very informational and useable."
• McMaster University was privileged to have international speaker Karsten Jensen present topics on Periodization from his upcoming book to our Strength & Conditioning staff in Jan 2010. Karsten's presentation was well-researched and backed by years of practical success. The presentation was perfect for staff from an academic institution and we look forward to having Karsten back in the near future.

COMBINATION EXERCISES: How to Become Lean and Muscular in 20 Minutes or Less!

Combination Exercises shows you 35 variations or combinations of classical exercises that include squatting, bending, lunging, pushing, pulling, twisting and core. 

When compared to performing a component of the combination alone, executing the entire combination has the following advantages:

1. A larger amount of muscle involved. This leads to a more pronounced hormonal response to your workout and increased energy expenditure. The first helps you build more muscle; the latter helps you loose fat.

2. Several of the combination exercises make use of a principle called “post –fatigue”. For example, after doing 20 Hindu Push Ups that fatigues your arms and shoulders, you continue with little or no rest with bear walks. Bear Walks provide a different, yet overlapping stimulus to your arms and shoulders allowing you to continue your set for maybe another 30-60 seconds. Such a combination stimulates strength, endurance and mass since it pulls into play a large number of different fibres.

3. The combinations are, per definition, more complex movements than the single exercises alone. This is an excellent stimulus to the nervous system. The fact that the combinations are more complex than the single exercises alone, means that they are also an excellent tool to provide variety and fun in a training program.

4. “The chain is never stronger than the weakest link”. In some exercises, for example: the squat and deadlift, your performance can be limited by your back (the squat) or your grip (the deadlift).  A solution is to use a squat combination, where the load on your back is harder than in your regular squat. Or you can use a deadlift variation, where the load on your grip is harder than in your regular deadlift. This book shows you such exercises. 

Many of the exercises included in this book are very challenging, whole body movements that may seem suitable only for athletes or power lifters and not for the general fitness enthusiast. It is, however, important to remember that EVERYONE IS AN ATHLETE. Even though your primary training goal is to look good, at some point you will encounter situations that challenge your whole body coordination and your ability to move.

The exercises in Combination Exercises will prepare you for movement, while at the same time, make you look good because they involve so much muscle mass and burn so many calories.  Click here to learn more.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN EXERCISES

Do you feel challenged to constantly come up with new exercises for your clients and athletes? Tired of spending hours on YouTube scrambling for inspiration? I started creating new exercises in order to give extremely sport-specific exercises to the athletes with whom I work. In this report I share the principles I use to

1. Create Extremely Sport Specific Exercises For Athletes
2. Create Exercise Progressions (for example for body weight exercises) and
3. Create New Combination Exercises

After studying this report you will see why the principles of biomechanics are so useful for us as strength coaches and personal trainers.
