It is no surprise that this book is top quality considering that it is written by the record-holding greatest bodybuilder of all time. Lee Haney takes the reader comprehensively through all the stages in the bodybuilding process, beginner through expert. He even includes a section on the training routines of such athletes like Evander Holyfield.

This quality book by a quality gentleman who just happens to be the most prolific (and least disputed in my opinion) Mr. Olympia is a book that needs to be read if you're serious about a serious subject. I recommend the Lee Haney videos LEE HANEY'S 3 DAYS ON MOTIVATIONAL VIDEO FOR WEIGHT TRAINING which can accentuate what this book displays page after page. Warning: the mesomorphic form he's been blessed with is rarely built to this level of symmetry and depth, so your results won't match, just use the techniques to accentuate your own gift. Mr. Haney's cable show that was on TBN [ch. 19, in Fort worth] combined more about mind-, body- and spirit-strengthening in twenty-five minutes than anyone. Since he autographed my copy at the one chance I had to hear him speak, it's priceless. He remains "TotaLee Awesome"!

Forget Schwarzenegger's "Encyclopedia of Modern Bobybuilding," Mike Mentzer's "Heavy Duty," or Dorian Yates's "Blood and Guts." This is THE book to have for increasing srength and health via weightlifting--simple, effective, no nonsense. And Haney's workouts for his celebrity clients--among them Evander Holyfield--provides interesting reading.

I have enjoyed Lee Haney's DVD workout for quite a while. I don't see how anyone can follow this regimine and not get results. Very safe as well as healthy.
Someone at work loaned me the VHS version for about a week. Very motivated after watching this, I joined a gym for about a year. People assumed I was one of the trainers before long. The gym went through changes and I decided to work out at home. With a treadmill and weight bench purchase, there is never an excuse not to work out.

With the book, you get additional information to the history of Lee Haney and Bodybuilding, not to mention very detailed instructions on the actual exercises. I would recommend this book to anyone because of the safe way of gradually building - you never get sore.

I've read tons of bodybuildingbooks but this is one of the best. Lee Haney is my favorite bodybuilder. This book is full of training routines for different levels. I really like that.

This book is definitely not for beginners or even intermediate or advanced bodybuilders. It is for the pros! The routine is Haney's own and is way too much for normal people. Besides, each person's body is unique and will require a different routine to build mass. Try "Weider's System of Bodybuilding" for a more personalized approach.
