Review
I picked up the Lean Advantage at a bookstore and I must tell you I'm getting immediate results; I mean within hours of altering my diet! I sound sensationalistic because I really can't believe how fast my body is changing. I was under the impression that carbs were out these days and protein and high-supplementation was in. I immediately changed my eating habits lock-stock and barrel and voila! Fat loss!!!! As we say in Texas, Damn straight! --Reader comment

Clarence is king,
This review is from: Lean Advantage 2: The Second 4 Years (Paperback)
Only ONe other review for such a great piece of work?? What a sad world we live in where hype and flash trumps solid, quality information. Anyway....This review applies to ALL 3 of the lean advantage books. I have them all as well as his other work. Each word is gold. It's tried and true advice coming from a man with 50+ years in the game. Clarence is currently over 70 years old and is still big and ripped. He talks the talk AND walks the walk while contemporaries like Arnold are saggy, fat old has-beens. You can't knock Clarence down. He's got it all worked out and by reading his books and applying their wisdom you can thrive too. Don't expect to be told a bunch of soothing nonsense though. Getting muscular and lean takes years.....it takes effort.....it takes attention to detail. You may not want 3% bodyfat....I don't. You may not agree with Clarence's "near-vegetarian" diet....I don't. But I still consider him to be the king in the arena of weight training/fitness/fat loss. The best thing I got from his books was "permission" to stop taking my sets to failure. I did it for 20+ years and it really limited my growth. What a waste of so many years. By stopping my sets short of failure I have gained and I feel so much better. For 20+ years I have been frying my CNS....who knows how many years that has taken off my life. Yes, I've had his books for years but even still did not put all of his advice into action right after reading them. I wish I had. So much good advice....periodization, coaxing gains, stopping short of failure....and the Schwinn Airdyne...what a great piece of equipment. In short, Clarence comes as close as anyone to knowing it all. He is well rounded in the areas of fat loss/gaining muscle/and nutrition. Even if you have an interest in just one of those areas he is still the voice to listen to. Need proof? Go to his website and look at the pics of him at age 70. The website is filled with great info and it's all free.

This review is from: Lean Advantage 2: The Second 4 Years (Paperback)
I own several of his books and am always impressed at his openness and honesty in considering other ideas, testing them out, and concisely reporting on the most effective. Recommended
