I highly recommend this book!, June 16, 2010
This review is from: 101 Fat-Burning Workouts & Diet Strategies For Men: Everything You Need to Get a Lean, Strong and Fit Physique (Paperback)
I am 20 years old 5'10" 170lbs and I have been lifting for 7 years. This book gave me a whole new work out to switch things up and also a diet to get the most out of what I eat. When I purchased this book I weighed just under 150lbs. Since switching to this workout I have felt burns that I have never felt before.
If you are an inexperienced lifter don't worry, every exercise in this book has a description of how to perform the exercise and almost every single one of the explanations has a picture to show you how to do the exercise as well.
I have recently put my father on the diet that is included in this book and in one month he has lost over 21 pounds (he 66 years old, 5'11", and 214lbs now).
If you're looking to gain muscle mass, lose weight, or get tone this is the book for you.
Just an example of the diversity this book has to offer here is the choices you have just for a Shoulder/Traps workout. Each workout has four different exercises, how many sets, and how many reps to perform.
Mass-Building
Overhead Press
Upright Row
Lateral Raise
Bent-Over Lateral Raise
Beginners
Machine Overhead Press
Cable Lateral Raise
Barbell Front Raise
Reverse Pec-Deck Flye
At-Home
Etc.
15-Minute Workout
Etc.
Front Deltoid Priority
Etc.
Middle Deltoid Priority & Traps
Etc.
Giant-Set Workout
Etc.
Strength
Etc.
Get Ripped
Etc.
Get Super Pumped
Etc.
I obviously couldnt include all of the workouts this book has for Shoulders/Traps but that gives you an idea of what this book has to offer and trust me every body group has great workouts to get the results you are looking for.

Build Muscle, Lose Fat, Great Resource!, November 10, 2009
This review is from: 101 Fat-Burning Workouts & Diet Strategies For Men: Everything You Need to Get a Lean, Strong and Fit Physique (Paperback)
101 Fat Burning Workouts & Diet Strategies is exactly as the title says. This book is a small library of workout information for anyone wanting to burn fat. Following this program, YOU WILL MELT FAT OFF OF YOUR BODY! Not only that, but the muscle building exercises will give your body a toned and lean look. I have read several books on weight lifting and fat burning but this book surpasses every other book I have read on building muscle and losing fat. This book is great for people that want to get right to it! No fluff, no boring stories, no extensive articles on the science- just what works! The style of this book is like this: "Here are workouts for every part of your body, whether you are beginner, intermediate, or advanced at working out. Then, how to lift weights to burn fat. Next, how to chisel your midsection. Next, CARDIO. Ouch, rough but absolutely necessary in burning fat but this book presents several ways to make your cardio more interesting. Next, HIIT! Next, what to eat, how often to eat, what not to eat!" By the end of the book, if you follow the program, you will make the people in your gym look ridiculous! I absolutely recommend this book to anyone that is getting into working out. I didn't give it a perfect score because a few of the exercises are not illustrated. That is a positive and a negative. Positive because it makes the book leaner and easier to carry. You can look up the exercises on the internet or through some other laboriously large muscle bound book! Negative because absolute beginners might not know how to do a barbell bench press. Most of the more uncommon movements ARE pictured. Most people that have some experience in weightlifting will navigate through this book fine.
Again, if you had to buy just one book to build muscle and lose fat, THIS should be your book. I have recently begun following this program, as of November 2009. Check out my progress at [...] I have also found that supplements are very helpful. One supplement is an antioxidant drink that has given me more energy, focus and stamina than I have ever had before. It doesn't give you boost & crash; it gives you sustained energy and it contains 80% juice. It is called Emv and you can check it out at [...] God bless...
