How do I get stronger? How can I train most effeciently? Which exercises make the most sense? These are only a few questions that we as trainers are confronted with during our daily routine. Throughout the last decade, climbing went through major developments especially in the realm of training where contents & methods have changed dramatically as far as sophistication goes. Our main target is to enrich the current knowledge of training with a selection of new & creative exercises. The focus of our program is a well-balanced & long term performance-gain. We want to avoid a one-sided physical burden through inappropriate training. How can I train in a well-rounded manner? What is it that I have to focus on during my exercises? What is the ideal extent of my training-activities? How do I combine them most productively? You can find the answers to all these questions on this DVD, which comes completed with an easy-to-understand practice-book. We have decided in favour of an additional learning video because we believe that it is the best way to communicate the complex forms of our exercises in a didactically appropriate manner. Apart from that it`s great to have a book too which you can easily take anywhere to have a quick look, so we found it necessary to provide you with this as well. There`s another thing which might be of interest for many of you: the answer to the question how pro-climbers train. We have put together a fine selection of interviews with some of them to provide you with some insight on what a few of the best of them understand by the term training. ...

”A few faults are indispensable to a really popular monarch.” (George Bernard Shaw). Gimson`s Kings & Queens whirls us through the lives of our monarchs
- from 1066 & William the Conqueror right up to Queen Elizabeth II & the present-day
- to tell a tale of bastardy, courage, conquest, brutality, vanity, vulgarity, corruption, anarchy, absenteeism, piety, nobility, divorce, execution, civil war, madness, magnificence, profligacy, frugality, philately, abdication, dutifulness, family breakdown & family recovery. Written in Andrew Gimson`s inimitable style, & illustrated by Martin Rowson, Gimson`s Kings & Queens is both a primer & a refresher for anyone who can`t quite remember which were the good & bad Edwards or Henrys, or why so-&-so succeeded to the throne rather than his second cousin. Published in August 2015, to coincide with the moment (in September) when Elizabeth II will (barring accident or shock abdication) become the longest-serving English monarch ever, Gimson`s Kings & Queens will be the most entertaining & instructive book on the English monarchy you will ever read.

Gin: A Toast to the Most Aromatic of Spirits celebrates the clear spirit in all its guises; as a straight drink, the increasingly popular flavoured brands, as a base for cocktails and a cooking ingredient. It describes the history of the spirit; how it is made and how the method of distillation has changed across the centuries; the variations of gin; classic cocktail recipes; where to buy the premier brands; and tasting notes. Lavishly illustrated and written in an easy-to-read style, this book will go down as well as the most lovingly created Gin & Tonic.Few drinks can trace its history back more than half a millennium, but the Dutch genever (or jenever) is a clear predecessor of the modern gin distilled today. Gin`s history makes for fascinating reading, from how it grew and faded
in popularity through the ages to the types of people who drank it and the story of the G&T (surely the world`s best known cocktail).According to Henry McNulty, Vogue`s legendary wine and spirits columnist, `Gin is the bad boy of the spirits world.` He may be correct, but the fact remains that gin is one of the world`s most popular spirits.
