Book Reviews of THE Complete Keys to Progress
Book Review: Education & Entertainment in an Excellent Series of Stories
Summary: 5 Stars
John McCallum knew about all there was to know about weight lifting and body building back in his day. Most of what came after him was more pharmacology than physiology. Don't waste your money on the modern "bodybuilding" books.McCallum wrote the individual chapters of this book as articles for Bob Hoffman's publication "Strength & Health" (So that's were Joe Weider got the name for his magazine "Muscle & Fitness"), and he of course had to shill for Hoffman's products. Some of his science is dated, and he oftentimes recommends too many sets and reps, but his principals are sound.
The articles read like short stories, and the reader comes to genuinely like the characters who people McCallum's stories.
Book Review: Great advice
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book wheather you are just starting to lift or have been doing it for years. I noticed immediate gains (literally the next day) in my chest size from doing the 20 rep breathing squats, and I was also able to improve on any muscle group I chose using McCallum's advice. If you want to build real size and strength, and you're not afraid of hard work, this book is a must.Book Review: Great advice

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. I loved it. it ranges for so many different specific goals and routines. whether you want to have great forearms, get stronger, build bulk, or have supplement info. this book covers it all. And not in a broad, generalized view, but rather specifically for guys that have a definite decision on why they are weightlifting. It is also very easy to read and understand and will last you for years. You must get this baby!Book Review: Good stories
Summary: 4 Stars
Although the stories/articles are very well written and contains some useful information, I think that most the routines are way to much volume; that's is 5-6 days a week of "hard"? training. The books is a very enjoyable and well written serie of articles but I strongly suggest that you do not follow the routines to the letter.
