Book Review: Amazing book from amazing man
Summary: 5 Stars
Clarence Bass is 70 years old, but has the body of a 25-year-old. In this book, he explains in easy-to-understand terms both the broad principles and the specific practices that he follows in his diet and exercise plans to achieve these impressive results. One might imagine that to achieve these results, the author must devote hours a day to his exercise and must follow an extreme and unpleasant diet. Wrong! To the contrary, Clarence Bass has discovered through the years how to get the most benefit from the least amount of exercise by focusing on efficiency and intensity in his routines. As for his diet, he emphasizes unprocessed foods but, by his own admission, he only eats foods that he likes. Like most of us, he enjoys his eating; unlike most of us, he has figured out how to eat a lot of food every day without consuming excessive calories. Among the many features that distinguish this book from the hundreds of diet and exercise books on the market is that Clarence Bass closely follows the increasingly voluminous literature in the field of exercise science. His recommendations are based on current research in the field, not on gimmicks, fads or his own biases. He does a wonderful job of summarizing the most pertinent scientific research and presenting it in a way that is both useful and understandable for the lay person. Finally, he does not ignore the psychological side of training. He has a number of chapters that focus on psychology and the role of motivation in training. His words are truly inspirational, but just as important, his advice is accessible and practical. Whether you are an experienced athlete or a couch potato, I guarantee that there is something significant (indeed, many things!) that you will learn from this book.
