Specialization
Training
By Nick Nilsson - Review
Review by Rahul Alvares
A most comprehensive
collection of the best specialization techniques I have never
read about! "Specialization Training" is a must have
for every serious bodybuilder.
Think about it - rarely
will a bodybuilder develop proportionately in all aspects of muscle
and symmetry on a regular routine that demands three sets of six
to ten reps. If you care to find out, you will learn that most
bodybuilders are regularly using some kind of specialization at
any given time or the other – be it training a muscle part
like the lower tricep or upper chest, be it full body parts like
training for a bigger back, or be it just an overall mass gaining
routine or program for getting ripped.
The bodybuilders who
have outstanding physiques are almost solely the ones that specialize.
The exceptions are the ones with irritatingly good genetics. I
have a friend like that who has pecs that pop, and an abdomen
with rippling abs. He works out a month in a year and lives on
a diet of tea and cigarettes! But other than those that can build
muscle on tea and cigarettes, the majority of us have no option
but specialization training.
I found Nick Nilsson’s
book to be an excellent read. With six different Specialization
routines targeting strength gains, size gains and effective techniques
to produce growth in lagging and stubborn body parts, "Specialization
Training" is essential reading for every bodybuilder who
is thinking of making some serious gains.
Nick has a very practical
approach to training also. That means you know Nick has tried
and tested all the techniques a number of times to know the difficulties
you might face and how to work around them and adjust the exercises
according to your needs. And, unless I am wrong, I think that
almost all the techniques in the book are Nick’s own. At
least I haven’t found any of them elsewhere.
But for one thing,
all-inclusive though "Specialization Training" may seem,
I am sure Nick could dig out and include some more programs into
it. I know for sure that there are some more excellent training
programs out there that would make lovely additions to an already
excellent book. But that is up to Nick. Like I said, maybe the
reason for Nick not including more programs is because he has
decided to keep "Specialization Training" fully original
or maybe there are other issues in using another trainer’s
ideas.
The book remains an
unfair bargain though. At nine dollars to have access to such
routines is a steal, and at the 50% discount he offers it at for
being a previous customer, it is practically illegal!
