5.0 out of 5 stars Have patience, get rewards, 1 Jul 2006
By David "Dave" (Cookstown, N. Ireland) - See all my reviews
I am now at the end of the stage 3 in the advanced program, having started from the beginner program nearly two years ago. There is a lot in this book but with persistence your body will change to one you can be proud of. Take encouragement, if I can do it you can, I train at home with minimal equipment, am now 38 years old with three children and a separation on my C.V.!

The book can be open to interpretation; it suits me to push as hard as I can through each workout, only resting at the very heavy sets, suit yourself. Get information on dieting to complement the book, I found out the hard way having over trained last Christmas. Getting an email from Lou Schuler which pointed me in right direction, I changed my lifestyle another bit (not enough carbs or sleep) and can now train six weeks in a row, three days a week with cardio on two.

I have recommended this book to others and will keep on recommending it to those who really want to take time make a difference to their lifestyle and have a healthy body.

Enjoy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth following the training routines, 24 Jan 2007
By Mr. June-hee Jung "cheyun" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's a very well written book with comprehensive, witty explanations. I cannot recommend this as a bible for the professionals in this area or for some hard-core amateurs. But it's definitely a good book for 95% of fitness lovers who are in great need of a trustworthy guide.

As a matter of fact, many kinds of muscle magazines and websites tend to make the readers too much obsessed by such secondary matters as nutritional supplements (or even hormonic treatments) and seemingly magical solutions for muscle gain, which are only suitable either for very small number of professional athletes or for those who want to make profit by selling products of boasted effects.

For most of the people who enter into fitness training for their healthier lives, the focal point is how to gain a satisfactory result while enjoying the training itself, not being unneccessarily pressured by fancy but impractical (or even infeasible) knowledge. The most excellent part of this book is the one that suggests workout routines for beginners, the intermediate and the advanced. Each 6 months programme is very well organised and relatively easy to follow. I'm inbetween the intermediate and the advanced, and I've been making apparent progress.

Fitness is in fact quite a complex sport that requires high level of patience rather than unrealistic anticipation. But, at the same time, it is quite a simple and (once we are purely committed into the joy of fitness with the help of a trusted guide) rewarding sport. In fitness world, the body tells everything. Regarding this book, my body (that, as a fitness-loving amateur in mid thirties, has patiently followed the programmes in it) is now telling everything.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, 17 Oct 2004
This book is fantastic! At last a book that is aimed at guys who want to put on muscle with science that adds up.

It's quite heavy in the anatomy of your body. But stick with it. You'll probably learn something new. This is a excellent starting point for new lifters. Learn to lift without risking damage nor strange looks from others in the gym. Some moves are not possible at home but if you already own Men's Health Home Workout Bible, these won't be hard to replace.

Even the stretching exercises are new to me. The different phases seem to get even hard to reach muscles. Only just got the book and so impressed already had to review. Should the workout results surprise me I'll review again soon. Stay tuned!
