2.0 out of 5 stars This book is not what I thought it would be from the title., July 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Anabolic Muscle Mass: The Secrets of Anabolic Reinforcement Without Steroids (Paperback)

By the title of this book, I expected an informative book about bodybuilding nutrition. I was disappointed to find out that out of over 200 pages, one was devoted to nutrition and this was simply a plug for Met-Rx products. This entire book, and I mean all of it, is about every way imaginable to do your workouts differently - set schemes, sequencing, etc. If you want a book describing in detail all the techniques for working out that you've already heard about for fifteen years, buy this book. Don't buy it if you want a nutrition summary. One page about Met-Rx is all you will get.

This review is from: Anabolic Muscle Mass: The Secrets of Anabolic Reinforcement Without Steroids (Paperback)

This is one of the most comprehensive and informative books available. I have been involved in the field of bodybuilding for nearly thirty years, and have reviewed most of the material available. Rarely does a book contain as much usable, contemporary, real-world information. In my personal aquaintance with many of the true superstars of bodybuilding (including Bill Pearl, Larry Scott, John Grimek, Jack LaLanne, George Eifferman, Dennis Tinnerino, and many others), I find the author (Dennis B. Weis) to be highly esteemed and respected. Even Dr. Scott Connelly of food supplement giant Met-Rx cites Mr. Weis as an authority (recently drawing unsolicited quotes from Weis' book into the spotlight as the centerpiece of a multi-million dollar national advertising campaign).

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn Advanced Techniques, September 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Anabolic Muscle Mass: The Secrets of Anabolic Reinforcement Without Steroids (Paperback)

If you are a serious bodybuilder, power lifter or want to learn some secrets of the older Soviet workout methods, this will be an excellent resource. Dennis describes variations of technique, sets and reps and idealology that is unavailable elsewhere in one book. He has done a considerable amount of research and nothing is basic or dummied- downed for beginners. The book is not about nutrition. It's about the finer, more advanced additions to routines that the pros and their trainers use. I learned that a small adjustment here and there during a routine from the book gave me a whole new type of pump and I've notice some results. If you are bored with your workouts or just curious about finer techniques, get this book!
