I emailed the authors to let them know about the review I wrote yesterday about The New Rules of Lifting, and both of them have been very friendly and appreciative of my having put it up. As such, I’m appreciative that they wrote it. Alwyn Cosgrove had this to say in response (reprinted with permission):
The New Rules of Lifting is a recently published book from Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove. The New Rules of Lifting‘s basic premise is that it is not which muscles you work out at the gym that makes a real difference in your body, but how you move those muscles. The New Rules of Lifting are based upon using muscles in tandem and in very natural ways, rather than isolating your muscles and working your muscles in a way that your body will never need outside of a gym.
