I am not a walking muscle. I am an average guy who enjoys working out. I am not in any body building competition or anything of hte sort. I like to stay in shape and abe active. This book has helped me gain muscle mass through workouts I have never heard of or scene. Whether you have dumbbells, barbbells, cables, or nothing, this book has the right workout combination for you. Good visuals and sectional break down make this manuel easy to follow and a great tool for designing a workout plan for you. If I spent more time and was into deeper training this book could facilitate my needs to be a body builder. A big five stars.Book Review: Great book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was great. It starts you off from the basics and trains you to be an expert. Finding a routine was always hard for me, now I know which exercises to do, and how they will benefit me. It's great, it really got my home gym going. Book Review: Do you like to DO IT... yourself?
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is as comprehensive as a home-training book can be.
Various workout plans are provided, ranging from those using only household items (for those of us with no weight-training equipment) all the way through to a plan incorporating a sophisticated home gym setup.
There is some solid information and spelled-out instruction on how to do each excercise properly (with plenty of illustrations and photographs). The book is written with reliable information in mind, but also keeps a light sense of humor about the issue of home-training, making for an entertaining and worthwhile read.
This is definitely a book you can glean some very useful pointers from, whether or not you choose to follow any of the training plans provided. Another well put-together book from the editors of Men's Health magazine. If you're looking to begin training at home, I recommend this book over any other you will find.
Book Review: Solid, honest, results oriented information.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not an exercise nut. I am a lawyer and a family person. I just don't have a lot of time to devote to working out, and if I am at my kid's school for lunch, I'll eat the birthday cake and ice cream. I was looking for a practical book that I could use to improve the weights workout I had been doing for several months, but would allow me to spend no more than an hour or so in the gym every day. This book delivered and revolutionized my routine.
When I first got the book 6 months ago, I read through the descriptions of muscle development and the comparative benefits of different types of exercise, ie: Dumbbells, barbells, cable machines and I found the basic information amazingly useful. My lifting routine became much different than the other regulars at the gym and I found that for the first time in a LONG time, I was beginning to notice results. Eventually, I began to notice other lifters drifting away from the machines and towards the dumbbells - they began to do routines similar to mine.
Although all of the above made me happy, it was not what prompted me to write this review. Recently, I began to do the exact routines for muscle development that the book recommends. I feel like I have had a shot in the arm. My workouts have suddenly become dramatically more effective. I felt sore in places I had not felt sore in almost a year. My core is intensely stronger and my shoulders, legs and arms are beginning to grow again - even at my age and with my busy work and family schedule.
If you are one of those guys who hangs out in the gym talking to your buddies and maybe doing a single set of bench press, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for an intense, full body, healthy workout that builds solid muscle, but is devoid of hype, this is the book for you.
