Becoming Batman – The Possibility of a Superhero

Product Information

E. The gratitude of the masses. I'm training to become Batman. Or is it? Most of the population wouldn't understand this . Ever since becoming Batman, Bruce Wayne has been a creature of the night. In probing what a real-life Batman could achieve, Zehr considers the level of punishment a consummately fit and trained person could handle, how hard and fast such a person could punch and kick, and the number of adversaries that individual could dispatch. A fun foray of escapism grounded in sound science, Becoming Batman provides the background for attaining the realizable--though extreme--level of human performance that would allow you to be a superhero. Zehr discusses the physical training necessary to maintain bad-guy-fighting readiness while relating the science underlying this process, from strength conditioning to the cognitive changes a person would endure in undertaking such a regimen. Who at some point in their life hasn't dreamed of being a superhero?
