{ "item_title" : "Barbell Workouts for Beginners Over 40", "item_author" : [" Declan Merrick "], "item_description" : "You've been told the barbell isn't for a body like yours. That's exactly backwards.Too old. Too many miles on the joints. Too far gone to start with a loaded bar-better to wait, go light, maybe hire someone first. If you've stood in a gym doorway and talked yourself back out of it, this book was written for you.Here's what almost no one tells you: the people losing muscle fastest, with the most to lose and the least time to waste, are precisely the ones the barbell was built for. Not despite your age. Because of it.Most strength books for the over-40 crowd bury that truth under a hundred pages of physics, then quietly admit you'll need to go hire a coach anyway. This one doesn't. It's built to be read-plain language, one idea at a time, no wall of jargon-and built to make itself unnecessary. By the end, you won't need it, and you won't need anyone standing over your shoulder either.Inside, you'll learn: Why the deadlift is the safest lift in this book-not the most dangerous-and how to protect the very back you're afraid of hurtingThe one skill everything rests on (most people never learn it, and it's the reason a good back goes bad)A press that fits your shoulders-including the honest route for my shoulders just don't go there anymoreA full 12-week program, revealed one manageable phase at a time so you're never overwhelmedHow to tell a normal hard week from a real warning sign - and exactly when to stop and see a professionalHow to keep progressing on your own long after week twelve, using a principle three thousand years oldNo membership required. No coach required. Minimal equipment. Just a bar, a plan you can actually follow, and a straight-talking guide that respects both your fear and your capability.Your only job for the next twelve weeks is to show up and log it. This book handles the rest.Start where you are. The bar has been yours all along.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/698/9798186982449_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "13.99", "online_price" : "13.99", "our_price" : "13.99", "club_price" : "13.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
