Mejorando en dominadas – ¡De DÉBIL a MAZADO en cuestión de SEMANAS!
by Rahul MookerjeeSi estás leyendo esto, existen buenas posibilidades de que sepas lo que es no ser capaz de hacer ni UNA dominada en este momento. De hecho, hay posibilidades de que colgar de una barra de dominadas durante un tiempo razonable sea un ejercicio inútil para ti. Puedo entenderlo. La persona promedio hoy día casi no puede sostenerse de una barra más allá de unos segundos antes de soltarla, ni mucho menos hacer varias repeticiones perfectas de la muy temida y admirada DOMINADA (ya sea prona o supina). Y sin hablar de las personas promedio, la mayoría de la gente que va al gimnasio en el día de hoy es incapaz de bombear dominadas con la forma y ritmo correctos. El tipo con los abultados dorsales puede ser capaz de mover grandes kilajes en la máquina de jalones, pero si lo pones en una estación de dominadas, probablemente no pueda hacer ni una sola repetición. ¿Ves a aquel tipo con biceps enormes que hace montones de repeticiones de curls con mancuernas? Si lo llevas a la estación de dominadas, es probable que no sea capaz de ni siquiera colgar de la barra durante un tiempo considerable. Mucho menos hacer dominadas a altas repes. Y te puedes olvidar de que pueda hacer variantes SUPER DURAS como las que hago abajo. Las dominadas son el ejercicio que todos quieren hacer, pero la mayoría NO PUEDEN, y aquellos que las hacen, con frecuencia utilizan una forma terrible. Las dominadas son el ejercicio, junto con las flexiones haciendo el pino, que inspiran ASOMBRO a los que miran, especialmente cuando haces repeticiones con tanta suavidad y apenas sin que la respiración se altere. Pero ¿quién puede hacerlas así? Las dominadas son un ejercicio que te hará sentir como un HOMBRE - ¡Un verdadero HOMBRE! Y las dominadas, amigo mío, es el PRIMER paso en la escalera de un torso y tronco sobrehumanos, rivalizado por pocos. Las dominadas también te hacen sentir FUERTE (alias “MAZADO”) de una forma que pocos ot

Melancholy, Medicine and Religion in Early Modern England
by Mary Ann LundThe Anatomy of Melancholy, first published in 1621, is one of the greatest works of early modern English prose writing, yet it has received little substantial literary criticism in recent years. This study situates Robert Burton's complex work within three related contexts: religious, medical and literary/rhetorical. Analysing Burton's claim that his text should have curative effects on his melancholic readership, it examines the authorial construction of the reading process in the context of other early modern writing, both canonical and non-canonical, providing a new approach towards the emerging field of the history of reading. Lund responds to Burton's assertion that melancholy is an affliction of body and soul which requires both a spiritual and a corporal cure, exploring the theological complexion of Burton's writing in relation to English religious discourse of the early seventeenth century, and the status of his work as a medical text.

MELT Performance: A Step by-Step Program to Accelerate Your Fitness Goals, Improve Balance and Control, and Prevent Chronic Pain and Injuries for Life
by Sue HitzmannThis long-awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestselling The MELT Method introduces a unique, scientific-based proactive training program for improving overall balance, performance, and control while preventing pain and injury.Are you an athlete facing constant injuries that hold you back from achieving peak performance? Are you someone who wants to stay fit, but are dealing with aches and pains that make it more difficult to work out? Do you want to exercise or train without being sidelined by stress fractures, strained ligaments, and painful joints? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need MELT Performance.The conditioning you do to stay in shape and perfect and improve performance—running on a treadmill, doing squats or bicep curls, practicing our backhand, even doing downward dog—requires repetitive movements. Yet 80% of orthopedic injuries are the result of repetitive motion, not trauma or accidents. In MELT Performance, nationally recognized educator, manual therapist, and exercise physiologist Sue Hitzmann introduces a revolutionary program centered on neurological joint stability or Neurostrength, that will revolutionize your health and performance.The foundation of MELT Performance is stability. To stay injury free, our joints must stable before we do repetitive motions. Acquiring stability allows the body to respond to the demands of motion. It’s the way we were designed to function—and allows us to move more efficiently, improve coordination, and save our joints. Knowing how to check in, restore, and reintegrate joint stability before it’s compromised gives an unparalleled advantage to anyone who trains hard to perform at their best. Hitzmann’s techniques are proven to work—they’re already used by world renowned professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts. If you’re ready to improve your performance and prevent injury, MELT Performance is essential no matter what sport or activity you pursue.MELT Performance includes black-and-white instructional images throughout.

So Maggie focuses on what she does best: keeping up her straight-A average and eating chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate. But everything changes when Maggie gets a chance to try out for the synchronized swim team. Becoming a Water Wing has always been Maggie's dream -- who wouldn't want to have an instant circle of friends and wear that cute silver bathing suit?

Maybe people will see past the extra weight she's recently gained to the funny, cool girl hiding underneath. And maybe, just maybe, Peter Applewood will finally notice her. It all depends on Maggie Bean, who thinks she knows who she is, but is about to find out for sure.

Memories and Monsters: Psychology, Trauma, and Narrative (Relational Perspectives Book Series)
by Eric R. Severson David M. GoodmanMemories and Monsters explores the nature of the monstrous or uncanny, and the way psychological trauma relates to memory and narration. This interdisciplinary book works on the borderland between psychology and philosophy, drawing from scholars in both fields who have helped mould the bourgeoning field of relational psychoanalysis and phenomenological and existential psychology. The editors have sought out contributions to this field that speak to the pressing question: how are we to attend to and contend with our monsters? The authors in this volume examine the ways in which we might best relate to our monsters, and how the legacies of ancient traumas and anxieties continue to affect our current stories, memories and everyday practices. Covering such manifestations of the monstrous as racism, crimes against humanity, trauma as portrayed in music and art, and the Holocaust, this book explores the impact the uncanny has on our individual and collective psyches. By focusing on a very specific theme, and one that excites the imagination, Memories and Monsters stokes the flames of an important current movement in relational psychoanalysis. It will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, as well as professionals in psychology and graduate school students and tutors in the fields of both psychology and philosophy.

Memories of Heaven: Children's Astounding Recollections Of The Time Before They Came To Earth
by Wayne W. Dyer Dee GarnesPoet William Wordsworth expressed the idea that we gradually lose our intimate knowledge of heaven as we grow up, observing that "our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting" of our previous existence in Spirit.Dr. Wayne W. Dyer and co-author Dee Garnes had often talked about how the ones who know the most about God are those who have just recently been wrapped in the arms of the Divine: our infants and toddlers. In fact, Dee had an interaction with her own young son that convinced her of his acquaintance with our Source of being. Curious about this phenomenon, Wayne and Dee decided to issue an invitation to parents all over the globe to share their experiences. The overwhelming response they received prompted them to put together this book, which includes the most interesting and illuminating of these stories in which boys and girls speak about their remembrances from the time before they were born.Children share their dialogues with God, talk about long-deceased family members they knew while in the dimension of Spirit, verify past-life recollections, give evidence that they themselves had a hand in picking their own parents and the timing of their sojourn to Earth, and speak eloquently and accurately of a kind of Divine love that exists beyond this physical realm.This fascinating book encourages all of us, not just parents, to take a much more active role in communicating with our planet’s new arrivals . . . and to realize that there is far more to this earthly experience than what we perceive with our five senses.
