This book was recomended to me by my doctor. I am athleticly cut but no bodybuilder, and have done prior reserch to my regular routine. This book showed me how to pass that plateau I always hit, and made working out more enjoyable. It's all about intensity and not overtraining, so my workouts are much harder yet shorter, and my gains are amazing. I cannot recomend this book highly enough.

This course serves well as an excellent starting point with certain modifications such as a light warm up prior to the first set of squats, which should also be interchanged with leg presses and hack squats periodically, with most of the work being done with dumbbells or at least periodically switching to them and using a full deadlift instead of the stiff legged dead lift.

One might also drop one set of squats and pullovers, add pre-exhaustion as a means of intensifying and shortening the length of the workout and only doing it two days a week (three and four days apart).

You will look more like a power lifter than a bodybuilder however, you will get very strong and such will allow you to then begin true bodybuilding.

5.0 out of 5 stars for the serious only, March 31, 2000

Every serious bodybuilder, or even just your average lifter can benefit from the info in this book. It covers everything from what to eat, to how to lift. Inside there is an article about a world renown trainer, in florida, that guaranteed one half inch gain in upper arms, in only two days. Reguardless of the size of the arm or the size of the trainee the results were a given. If you are serious about this sport or are tired of all work with no results, this book will change your workouts forever.
