Book Reviews of Better Than Steroids
Book Review: A "Must Have" in your bodybuilding library
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a NATURAL bodybuilder. I've been on Dr. Mauro DiPasquale's "Anabolic Diet" for a while now with amazing results. DiPasquale's book is the basis of my diet, while "Big Beyond Belief" aka "Serious Growth III" or "Bulgarian Burst" is the basis of my weight training program. With these two winning combination, I've been building muscles and losing fat at the same time.
The reason I'm including the above-mentioned programs in this review is because "Better Than Steroids" (BTS) outlines some of the principles that I have been using with great success. For instance, BTS thoroughly covers the body's powerful hormone - insulin. This hormone can literally make one's physique into a Herculean-like sculpture...or a fat slob like Michael Moore(sorry, I have no respect for liberals). Moreover, I am pleased that my post-workout meal has been on the money all along, unbeknownst to me that I've been doing the right thing until this book confirmed so. (I'm not going to reveal what it is:) Just buy the book.) I just have to adjust my diet and include a pre-workout meal, which is also described in the book.
What I love about BTS is that it has several algorithms - lose fat / maintain muscle, lose fat / increase muscle and increase muscle / maintain fat. The doctor is kind enough to provide a detailed 12-week program of each algorithm, which tells the bodybuilder what to eat, the sort of exercise to perform and the type of cardio required.
As far as dieting is concerned, there are weeks that the bodybuilder will implement a keto run diet, which is very identical to Dipasquale's "Anabolic Diet." But what I love about BTS is that there are several other diets used to stimulate muscle growth and burn the fat. Those diets are: isocaloric; zigzag high, medium and low; modified carb high; modified carb low; keto run and free. These different diets are strategically periodized and built into the 12-week programs; the bodybuilder will certainly do something different every week and not just stick with one type of diet day in and day out. This is a HUGE plus in terms of keeping motivation high and keeping the body from reaching a plateau.
