 Good basics Nov 21, 2009
One thing that you can appreciate is how simple they make it. You essentially have weeks and weeks worth of work-out routines in this book without having to do all the planning yourself or hiring a personal trainer to do it for you. I found the exercise plan to be a little too basic for me. The author teaches that you don't need to do exercises for each muscle group, but you can do exercises that work many different muscles all at the same time. That's probably a breath of fresh air for some, but not what I was hoping for.
I found the author to be little conceited. He seemed to spend a lot of time time mentioning his own accomplishments. The fact that this book was written by a man may not bother every one, but I think I might have appreciated it more if it was a woman teaching women.
I did learn a few new exercises that I hadn't done before, and I appreciated that all the exercises had photographs and detailed explanations.

 I'm sore every single day Oct 29, 2009
I've been working out for years and I thought the exercises looked pretty simple. I decided to stick with it and I'm definitely (and for the first time) seeing results. I'm not doing as much cardio as I used to and I've gained five pounds but my arms and abs are getting definition and my legs are looking awesome. But most importantly, I can tell that I've gained a lot of strength. I'm lifting heavier than ever before and I'm knocking out push ups like nothing. I've been using this routine for about 3 months now and working out 2-3 times a week. I'm also eating every three hours and taking at least two protein supplements daily. I think that anyone following this exercise routine and eating properly will see results.

it's kicking my butt! Oct 06, 2009
I started exercising seriously 13 years ago, taking tae kwon do and pilates, then started running 3-5 times a week as well as spending 3 hours a week lifting and yet always felt like I wasn't getting the results for the amount of time I was putting in. I'm on week 4 in this book and even though the workouts are 30 minutes-45 minutes long (and I haven't started the intervals yet) I come home with feeling uplifted and with that good "all over sore muscle" feeling. I haven't tried the diet plan yet (although I've ordered some Whey protein powder for after work outs) and I probably enjoy a bit too much wine to see the fat drop off my abs as quickly but for the first time in a long while I feel like I'm getting a full body workout and I feel stronger. Looking forward to the day when I can finally do 10 full push ups and a chin up!

 Repetitive, unorganized workout routine Oct 03, 2009
I was very dissapointed when I purchased thie book. The workout routine formula is troublesome. Basically you have to create your own workout routine and there are timeconsuming bookfilling explanations that are tedious and worthless. I want my money back.

Personal Trainer...In book form Oct 03, 2009
I have been training with a personal trainer three times per week for the last year (to the tune of $50 an hour). While many (many) years ago, I was a gymnast and a diver - I was not unfamiliar with exercise, but I WAS unfamiliar with a standard/typical weight room. I opted for a trainer because I wanted to work hard, I wanted results - and I didn't know what to do (AND I was intimidated) when I walked in to the weight room.
After a year with my trainer, I couldn't be more happier with the results. I have gone from 25% body fat to 13%. But the reality is, is that I need to be able to do this on my own, in the gym, without paying that kind of money for my trainer. So sad - but such is life. :)
I was looking for a book to help me do just this - transition from a personal trainer three times per week at over $500/mo - to doing it on my own.
I was amazed to find out that through the coaching and guidance of my trainer - that I had built up to doing the exact (advanced) workouts in this book over time.
I shared this book with my trainer who is now a football strength coach for a local university and he laughed. He said "It's not rocket science...It's just science". He agreed with all of the principles in this book and was quite familiar with the philosophies and techniques.
This is a great book to give you all the important background before heading to a gym or working with a trainer. Like anything in life - you have to work hard to get what you want. Start small - and continue to build - one step at a time. This book gives you the road map to do just that.
I love this book.
