Review
"EME is the first book that reveals the real mass building secrets of bodybuilding s top pros. In fact many of the techniques in this masterpiece are the same ones that I've used to win 8 Mr. Olympia titles. It is packed with precise detailed instructions on how to transform your physique the fastest way possible. Extreme Muscle Enhancement is my number one recommendation for anyone looking to pack on serious muscle. Take it from me, these methods really and truly work!" --Ronnie Coleman - 8 time Mr. Olympia
"A key component of my success was gathering as much information as possible. The wealth of information contained in Dr. Colker's book far exceeds that of any publication I've seen. I myself have employed several of these techniques in winning 6 Mr. Olympia titles." --Dorian Yates -6 time Mr. Olympia
"Extreme Muscle Enhancement is the equivalent of taking the best nutritionists and trainers in the world and combining their knowledge and know-how into one book! If you are interested in paying a one time fee to have all the information you need to reach your bodybuilding goals, at your disposal forever, then Dr. Colker's book is a necessity." --Chad Nicholls -Nutritionist to 7 time Mr. Olympia, 4-time Mr. Olympia, Kim Chizevsky and multiple IFBB bodybuilding and fitness champions.

Very Useful Information,

This review is from: Extreme Muscle Enhancement 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I have been lifting over 30 years, and read at least 20 books on the subject.
This book is incredibly informative, it doesn't waste time with a bunch of information like how to do a bench press or how to do a crunch, but it gives terrific insights into how to structure a work-out, when to work out, nutrition, supplements, and other enhancements. Written by an M. D. who is also a dedicated bodybuilder, I highly recommend this book as a useful addition to any bodybuilder's library.

Useful advice on every page!,
By Aaron (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Extreme Muscle Enhancement 2nd Edition (Paperback)
You know how I know this book is worth its weight in gold? Because I finally got my calves to grow. Really, it's that simple! I've been training hardcore for seven years, and I pretty much wrote my calves off. Every bodybuilder has a weakness and those calves were mine. But this guy Colker, he's been doing this for 20 years, he's the guy the pros go to, and he knows about weaknesses. And he knows what works.
I picked up this book because I saw this guy Carlon Colker on TV and everything he said made a lot of sense. When you have a medical degree (this guy, unlike most bodybuilding book authors, is an actual doctor) and spend 20 years in gyms, helping pros and aspiring pros get to the next level, you're going to accumulate a lot of wisdom. That's the best thing about this book. Colker tells you what to do, what to expect when you do it right, and what will happen if you do it wrong. And he does this for EVERYTHING. Supplements. Workouts. Eating. Drugs. Rest. Everything. He knows cheats, too. He knows every little shortcut bodybuilders take to get more weight on the bar and more reps. I found a dozen different things I was doing that I didn't even know were cheats. That's worth the price of the book alone. Oh, and a word to the wise for beginners: This isn't one of those silly "Grow 40 pounds of Muscle in 40 Days" books. I've been locked into the Colker EME Way for nine months now. I've put on maybe 7, 8 pounds of muscle, lost two inches on my waist, and MY CALVES ARE BANGIN! Slow and steady does it, baby! This book is the real deal!

This is another lesson for me: do not purchase a book based on the editorial reviews. I was trying hard to find promised "secrets of the bodybuilding legends", all in vain. The book offers absolutely nothing new, and its content is more suitable for article from popular magazines, not the text claiming to be a comprehensive work on building muscle. More useful and detailed info can be found on the web, for free.
Section on nutrition is strange. There is no recommendations regarding caloric intake for gaining mass or losing fat. No explanations how to estimate the caloric needs. The author is the proponent of low-carb eating but does not mention the role of carbs in exercise or carb cycling diets. But this aside, the chapter just does not give you any detals about proper eating, plain and simple. The section on post-workout nutrition has the same problem: how much carbs, how much protein, how much of anything?! Strangely, there is no mention of PRE-workout nutrition. In the section on training as you age the author gives some advise on how to keep your fat levels low: your diet must be clean and you should avoid ice-cream and burgers. "Clean"? Are you kidding me? Added to it are the usual - and wrong - statements on nutrition: eat small portions during the day, don't eat before going to bed. The section on training routines is not better. No mention of great exercises such as deadlift, weighted pullups, weighted dips. No mention of periodization, waving weights or repetitions. The rest of the book is the same. There is some good advise but it is lost in otherwise empty and trivial text. Quick Internet search will bring better result. From the hype surrounding the book I expected much more. I cannot recommend this book to anyone except maybe someone absolutely uninitiated.
