LL Cool J's Platinum Workout

LL didn't always have a diesel body—he chiseled it the old-fashioned way, with hard work and discipline. Here he shares the secrets of his transformation in a uniquely creative, yet no-nonsense regimen—enlivened with humor and sheer force of personality—that will inspire readers to enjoy working out as never before, while building a body they never thought possible. The book offers four levels of fitness, from Bronze to Platinum, including:
- a 4-week beginner's program that takes inches off the waist and boosts energy
-a 5-week program for intermediates that increases strength while maintaining muscular and cardiovascular endurance
- an advanced 9-week program that turns the body into a muscle-building and fat-burning machine—complete with 6-pack abs and as much energy as LL Cool J
- the hardcore 3-week fat-torching program LL used for the "Control Myself" video—a new level in ripped-to-the-bone fitness and sex appeal
- a special 4-week "Diamond" program for women seeking to shape up fast for summer or an upcoming event
- meal plans and recipes that fuel workouts while burning fat with food

LL will get you motivated and laughing

November 27, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book rocks. LL has a great way to keep you motivated and on track. I love it when you first start reading it and he has you do week 1. You would think he would go straight into working out. Nope he wants you to get your music ready and clean out your fridge and get your mind right. Getting in shape is 80% diet and 20% exercise.

I did the program from start to finish and dropped 30 pounds. Went from 6'1 225 to 6'1 195. Easy? HECK NO! But if you stick with this plan which is about 45 min's a day you will get in super shape. You will have mad energy and be ready to take on the world. I was dropping 1-2 pounds a week. It came off slow but that is actually a good thing in the long run. You will replace your fat with muscle. I slept like a log when I was doing this program. Are you going to look like him. Uh no. But I got stronger, leaner, and I looked awesome.

I get 1 hour for lunch and I would just hit it at lunch time.

He has some great recipes in this book and he's humor and motivation are great. Love the book!

FYI 40 year old male here..

Problem is what to do next...

Good content - challenging for a beginner to mid level athlete

September 16, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

There is no denying that LL has built an awesome body over the past few years. His book shows the type of things he did in order to build that awesome physique. This is a great source of information for anyone wanting to get in shape, and add some unique exercises and training applications to their lifestyle and routines. A nice change of pace was to see the photos in the book which were actually LL himself showing visual reference of how to do the movements. Please understand though, that LL has built his body over years and years of great, positive habits, clean eating, discipline, and hard work. Most people in our country go through the "NEW YEARS RESOLUTION SYNDROME" every December, come out of the gate gung ho, only to find themselves making excuses ad talking about WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO. If you plan to put the hustle behind the muscle like Apollo Creed, then get this book and learn from it to achieve your health and fitness goals. If you are a yearly resolution junkie, then save your money. This book is for serious do-ers.....and as a famous movie guru said to Marky Mark....you want to be a do-er, right? You don't get to look like LL if you are not going to get up, take action, and do....

I am very happy I purchased this book.

Following LL's (and others') advice I lost 50 pounds initially then put back on 8 pounds of solid muscle. I'm not super buff but I look okay in a tank top. The best part is I only did about 70% of the cardio workouts and 90% of the weight lifting workouts I was supposed to.

The separation of workouts between bronze silver gold and platinum makes it feel much easier to do. You just think damn only 1 more week and I will have finished the bronze workout then onto the silver body! This separation makes you feel like you are accomplishing something... it worked for me.

As you get into the gold phase, the cardio gets pretty tough. If you really want to do the cardio in this workout make sure you do ALL OF IT in the first two phases or else you're screwed in the third and fourth. I never bothered moving onto the platinum workout because I was too embarassed to do 90% of the stuff in the gym (such as sprinting with ruber tubing tying you to a stationary post) and I am not too crazy about cardio (I want huge muscles).

This was a great kickstart for me to getting into shape. I am not following the platinum workout anymore (I followed it almost religiously at for a couple months) but I may return to it later during a cutting phase.

It's the perfect workout for ANYONE that wants to get super cut but if you want to get super buff the platinum workout is only good if you are a beginner. Cardio after lifting weights will help you burn fat like crazy. It did for me. But now that I'm slim I can't burn off so many calories... Cardio isn't for everyone. If you want to be demonically muscular you should try a different workout.

You can look like LL Cool J too!

October 13, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I bought this book for my husband because he wanted to have a role model image to use as inspiration. And who better than LL Cool J. This book was perfect for giving instructions on how to do the exercise routines, it had photos of the correct way to work out, there are receipes, and even some pages with words of wisdom and advice. My husband uses this book religiously. It's like his workout bible. And to be honest I don't even mind tripping over it all the time because let's admit LL Cool J is easy to look at. And for all the men out there who look up to him for inspiration and aspire to look as fit as him, well there's nothing wrong with that. So yes, it's worth buying and if nothing else at least just looking at the photos will make you want to get off the couch and get a six pack (and no I don't mean as in beer). Good luck to all the aspiring LL's out there.
