 Open.. only if you want to change your life
This is by far the best book that I have found on weight training. However, more than the detailed descriptions of over 80 exercises and the free abs dvd, the authors provide sound guidance on nutrition and supplements. I have been on this workout plan for all of three weeks and have seen some significant gains. Plus, the varied 14 day work out plans make it easy for a busy professional to change up their workout schedule without a lot of planning and researching. overall, a top rate product and one that I plan to keep using for years to come.
Awesome book!
I have bought both the men's and women's version of this book. I own a health club and teach this method of nutrition and working out daily in my center. I recommend it to everyone!
Excellent book
This is a great book. I am still in the first 2 weeks of the work out and I already can see results. The work out is one of the best ones I have followed as of yet. The book goes into great detail on each and every workout so if your a novice and never have picked up a weight before dont worry, it helps you step by step. The nutrition guide for me was kind of confusing in the begining but I read through the Nutrition chapter again and cleared it up for me. The food isnt wonderful, you cant use any added salts or sugars. So it takes some getting used to. But one thing I can say is you definataly wont go hungry. The portions are pretty large and you eat every 2-3 hours.
Over all its a great work out plan and has a great nutrition guide. (I dare not say 'diet' because diets are designed to fail. This helps you change your eating habits. And aids in getting the results you want from the gym.) I highly recommend it for anyone looking to change their life style and get a great body doing it.
My fiance is also following the one for women and is just as satisfied.
 This book is a scam
This book was completely useless for me. I followed to program for 6-weeks straight throughout, exactly as outlined, and saw no results. I stayed the same weight and my muscles got smaller. I emailed one of the authors and asked him a few questions to clarify some of the things in the book, and he never responded. Stay the hell away from this book. The advice sucks.
 Pretty good, BUT...
First, the good: The information is well laid out, and it provides a comprehensive overview of fitness, including weight training and cardiovascular exercise. Everything I've read seems to agree with popular knowledge these days of how-to.
The not-so-good: It's written (in my opinion) on an eighth-grade level. I understand trying to appeal to a mass audience, but I appreciate instruction that doesn't patronize me. The typos and grammar really need work, but I can generally overlook that.
The 14-day body sculpting workout calls for chest presses and tricep extensions the first day and shoulder presses the second day. Wouldn't shoulder presses done the day after chest and triceps exercises overwork the triceps? Probably a minor point, but I'd have like to seen that addressed.
The bad: What bothers me are the references to websites that imply some kind of support, whether in the form of media, discussion groups or email--when in fact it's all about selling you more stuff.
[...] and [...] are the same site. The links that aren't broken ALL redirect to a shopping site, getfitnow.stores.yahoo.net with the default page of the Top 20 Most Popular Items.
[...] redirects to hugorivera.net, a site that's short on substance. It apparently hasn't been updated since March/April 2008. However, click on any purchase link and you're redirected to [...], another sales site.
So any fresh News and Tips, any Discussion Groups, those seem to have disappeared. But by god, those sales pages are chugging along!
At least these guys could have kept the web references current and active, or not have put them in the book in the first place. Oh well.
I still recommend the book with accompanying DVD. There is a lot of useful information inside; just overlook the fact it's not written toward us older guys in our 40s.
