Great book,
This review is from: Hardcore: Ronnie Coleman's Complete Guide to Weight Training (Paperback)
Ronnie Coleman's complete guide to weight lifting is a very good and simple book, unlike Arnold's book and many other writers, Ronnie spoon feeds you the routines in such a way that you dont have to read the entire book to know. For chest he gives an outline in big bold letters his 4 routines the sets and reps, then if you want to read more you can. Ronnie's excersices are common one's not the dumb one's youd find in Men's Fitness, and he doesnt over train you like Arnolds book does, the only thing thats really lacking is the nutrition section, where he only gives his own eating regiment which no normal person could expect to follow as it has a whopping 6,365 cal and 623 Grams of protien!
He recommends high reps, he says if you dont do atleast 8 reps your not really accomplishing anything, all of his workouts he recommends atleast 10 reps, mostly everything is 10-15 reps. For chest he recommends working them out twice a week, once all barbell once all dumbbell, he has a "My Offseason/Precontest Workout" its hard but its do able. It basically requires about 1-1.5 hrs a day 6 days a week that shows exactly what he does everyday. Arnolds books I would spend 4-5 hours in the gym everyday a full time job! He recommends lateral raises to widen the should and chest tie-in to add thickness to the chest. His leg workout routine was painful, I could barely walk the next day. It seems pretty standard, all of the major mass gaining excersises, deadlift, squat, hack squat, and front squat. The Leg routine takes about 30-45 minutes, and its mostly high reps. Very good book, and written by a 8 time Mr. Olympia!

The road to hardcore is displayed in this book,

This review is from: Hardcore: Ronnie Coleman's Complete Guide to Weight Training (Paperback)
Ronnie Coleman give the wannabe bodybuilder the mindset of what hardcore training is about. It is not for the weak hearted! I have started to lift "hard and heavy" - heavy weights with higher reps and my body hurts. I am starting to see results in only 3 weeks but its painful. I cannot even work his split - my body cannot recover that fast. I am doing a one bodypart every every 6 days and even that hurts. To follow this book will encompass a lot of pain - but if you are strong, you will have a well condition body - in a few years. When you go to the gym, you will recognize the serious bodybuilders from the recreational lifters. Be careful, its easy to burnout on this program. As far as diet and supplements - I had to do the calculations to determine ratios for the cutting and bulking but it may not work for everyone. Otherwise, very good book.
