Project Superman is a new book from NQR productions and The Biomatrix.Net that aims to give a brief overview of various training methods to help the reader become a ‘Superman’ (as the title might suggest). Despite this lofty promise however there are no sections on how to fly or become invulnerable… what follows instead is a series of articles on bodybuilding, athletics, parkour, martial arts, brain training and health that together aim to help you become the best you can be. More Batman that Superman then, but definitely a physical specimen of some sort: stronger, faster, smarter, more agile, healthier and tougher than you’ve ever been before.



This makes for a mixed bag of articles ranging from ‘How to Become a Memory Master’ to ‘How to Improve Your Bench’ and ‘Unlikely Weapons’. Each of these articles then provides a brief overview of the respective training method/technique and a basic description on how you can go about using the information in your training or your daily life. If you were to take the time to learn all the techniques described within you could find yourself almost capable of donning a mask and fighting crime, and exponentially increasing your theoretical ‘Power Quotient’ (explained in the book). Here are some top picks from the abilities explained:

Be Quicker in the Gym
Become Ambidextrous
NLP
Train Anywhere
Which Supplements Do You Need?
Can I Get Taller?
Improve Your Jumping Height
Train for Symmetry
Improve Your Senses
How to Backflip
Explosive Punching Power
Super-foods for Bodybuilding

Among many others…

While there are all these different sections however, the bulk of the book remains without a doubt the bodybuilding section which covers everything you need to know to get massive and/or ripped - including the unique new ‘Time Division’ training devised especially for this book. Meanwhile pieces such as ‘Characters in the Gym’ will make any bodybuilder smile.
On top of all this is an interesting section at the end that offers a detailed look into ‘Transhumanism’ - a movement that advocates the use of technology to improve the human condition. Of particular interest to bodybuilders are the gene-doping experiments that have been completed on mice that result in permanent extra muscle. Could this be the future of bodybuilding?
The book is informative and interesting while remaining light-hearted and fun, never coming across as preachy, condescending and always being realistic and honest when discussing supplements or alternative subjects such as ‘Chi’ or meditation. No matter what your goals are you’ll pick up something new that you can use in your training and chances are it’ll make you re-think the entire way you go about your conditioning as you realise there’s no aspect of yourself that can’t be improved.
At 122 pages, Project Superman is a veritable tomb of training methods (including some unusual and extreme techniques) for those who want to take their physical conditioning to the next level. It’s the only place you’ll find such a diverse and well-researched selection of ways to train. Prepare to become you, only more so.

Up, up and away!
