Since January, I have unwittingly built a collection of copies of The Phil Tyreman Letter (my monthly print newsletter) by ordering more than I needed to lower my printing costs.
As I lack a warehouse, the corner of our bedroom has become home to a precariously stacked mountain of cardboard boxes filled with my delectable fitness teachings.
This is untidy, and that will not do.
So.
I am going to put individual copies of these newsletters up for sale for £50 apiece over the next few days in what I have dubbed Operation: Cleanout.
Today, I am selling Feburary’s newsletter, which explains how to go about building a powerful and shapely chest.
Inside, you will learn:
* The four movement patterns you must become competent and confident in performing if you are to stand any chance of developing a handsome, square chest that is capable of shifting serious poundages.
* Why you absolutely do not want to train towards the “buoyant bewbie” look favoured by modern bodybuilders if you are interested in being strong and healthy.
* Wisdom from a 1910 book by a famous German gymnast and strongman that must be consumed, considered, and applied by everyone who wants to still be making progress in the gym five, ten, twenty, and – God willing – plenty more years from now (applies equally to training chest as it does to everything else you do in your noble pursuit of getting strong and in shape).
* One foundational exercise essential for safely building anything more than a middling bench press that I swear on the half finished bowl of raisins sitting atop my desk as I write this that I have never seen anyone who is not me (or someone training under my direct supervision and instruction at the PT gym I used to own) perform.
* The bench press strength standard I believe you must meet before tackling more complicated and varied chest training becomes worthwhile.
* The only “Phil Tyreman Approved” way to bench press (I credit this careful and unglamorous technique with having never experienced any chest or shoulder injuries that are frighteningly common among those who don’t bench in this way – take from that what you will).
* A straightforward programme you can use to drag your bench press out of the toilet.
* How to tell if your body is shaped in a way that makes you more susceptible to pec injuries (essential info for those who are in this for the long haul).
* My “plug and play” chest specialisation routine those who already possess a solid foundation of muscle and strength can use to take their chest development to the next level.
* A caveman-simple way to improve your posture and reduce the risk of injury to the chest and shoulders.
