BIG 3: Strength training anatomy (Functional Anatomy of Strength Training)

The BIG3 Manual from the «Strength Training Anatomy» series is specifically dedicated to the Deadlift, Squat, and Bench Press. It analytically explains the anatomical and functional processes behind these three exercises and how to apply, transfer, and extrapolate this knowledge to any other situation.

We refer to BIG3 as the set of three exercises that allow us to move heavy loads and develop absolute strength, forming the basic strength package in many disciplines. They are also a fundamental part of the sport and discipline of Powerlifting.

Divided into four segments, the BIG3 Manual begins with a chapter dedicated to reviewing fundamental concepts and necessary tools to understand the work. The subsequent chapters address each of the three exercises in a clear and segmented manner, where they are described, explained, and analyzed in deep detail, also studying the dominant area of the body involved in the execution of each.

Through a combination of mixed written and visual language, both academic and popular, Jerónimo Milo manages to bridge both worlds, facilitating the full understanding of the content.
