4.0 out of 5 stars A good place to start for bodybuilders, September 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Title Priming the Anabolic Environment : A Practical Guide to the Art and Science of Building Muscles (Paperback)

Overall, 'Priming the Anabolic Environment' provides an excellent introduction to bodybuilding nutrition. Bodybuilders looking for a good place to start in terms of figuring out their nutrition would be well served by buying this book.

Although I didn't agree with everything Will said about training, those chapters provided some good information as well.

The chapters on promoting onesself as a bodybuilder or fitness athletes, while not applicable to most individuals, contain information that certainly won't be found anywhere else.

I do wish MuscleMag would quit filling their books with pictures of pro-bodybuilders though, especially when those pictures serve little purpose and have no link to the text. But this has nothing to do with what Will Brink wrote.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you're looking for help on how to eat, look no future, April 25, 2000

The one thing missing in most beginner to intermediate bodybuilders is a lack of knowledge about nutrition and supplements. Most think that working out hard is enough. This book will tell you what you need to do to jump to the next notch.

I learned a lot from this book, especially because I thought I knew what to eat and when. What supplements to take and when. I tried Mr. Brink's recommendations. I even emailed him and got an immediate and helpful response. His advice helped me to add more muscle when I felt like I had hit a wall.

If you're an advanced bodybuilding and know a lot about nutrition and supplements, this book will probably not tell you anything you don't already know. But,for the rest of us, this much needed information can make all the difference.

I find it interesting that much of the health industry, such as Dr. Weill, are writing and lecturing on topics that have been tried and true for the bodybuilding industry for years. Maybe the rest of the world is catching on after all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best of its kind, January 6, 2002

I read this book a while ago, and it is still the best of its kind. He pretty much sums up everything a person needs to know to put on muscle mass. It's very practical and easy to read. It's a short book, but he does not use a 100 pages on silly recipes either, which is how most books are done. It's 100% good info. A must read for anyone who wants to put on muscle or is a fan of his.
