Not quite "The Poliquin Principles",
By
This review is from: Winning the Arms Race: The Ultimate Training Program for Arm Size and Strength (Paperback)
Charles Poliquin is largely responsible for my success in powerlifting and strongman sports.His first book,"The Poliquin Principles",is my training bible,and I have made massive gains from it.I also follow all his articles in ironman magazine and Flex Magazine.With that,I have to say I was a bit disappointed in this book.It has some very useful info,but a full half of the book is simple illustrations on how to do the various lifts.It also doesn't stress that you need a full body workout(which he assumes all lifters know).If you already own "the poliquin principles",or can get a used copy of it,bypass this book.Otherwise,go for it,with the caveat that you can't just work biceps and triceps if you want to get "big"...

This review is from: Winning the Arms Race: The Ultimate Training Program for Arm Size and Strength (Paperback)
This book is good for the Intermediate to advanced weight trainer who wants better arm development. Charles lays out the information well and keeps it in plain English so that even the beginner will understand it..I used the workout for triceps and added a full inch to my triceps in one month!
