A Different View of How to Lift
13 Sep 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is not a long one, but the first 80 plus pages are not nutritional advice, and the final pages (past 100) are definitions of terms used in bodybuilding. The approximately 20 pages in between are the ones with nutritional information. If you want a book focused on bodybuilding nutrition please look elsewhere. IF you want a book that tells you about bodybuilding and has some nutritional information as an aside this may be for you. Many other books are much better; however, they take a different approach to the bodybuilding subject. Bodybuilding 101 by Wolff is excellent as an introduction to bodybuilding; however Bodybuilding 101 endorses the Weider methods which Mr. Aceto does not. This book will give you a different view of the endevor and might serve to round out a beginner's education on the subject. At least it will let a person know that there are different approaches to the sport.
I would not recommend this book to a first time bodybuilder or someone who has not read extensively on the subject. Anyone purchasing the book should know a lot of the information will be contradicted in other publications.

informative and clear
12 May 2000
Sort of an interview, the book delves into traing protocol such as sets, reps, bodypart groupings and routines. All of which is good and informative, yet the strength falls in the nutrition portion where the puzzle is put together. The auhor clearly lays down a nice formula and plan on how to either build mass without turning into the pillsbury doughboy, or to strip away fat without obliterating your muscle mass. I also liked the back of the book which is similar to a dictionary, but the words all pertain to training and nutrients.

Words of Wisdom
19 Aug 2000
Understanding BB Nutr and Training is a fantastic book. As far as credibility goes, I attended Chris and Laura's camp a few years ago and found their working knowledge of bodybuilding- both training and nutrition- far ahead of the pack, better than the "science" at the time (ie, people were recomending moderate protein and sky high carbs) while Chris and Laura were teaching high protein moderaate carbs and low (but not no) fat. A bit ahead of their time I'd say. In terms of burning fat, Chris recomends weight training over cardio training in long term body fat control; an idea that is only recent - yet Laura and Chris taught that in 1994! The reader of this book will discover the best way to train to build mass and nutritionally, the right approach to lose fat without losing muscle or to build mass without adding excessive body fat. And...yes, if you are building mass and you add 6 pounds of muscle and 4 pounds of fat; the net effect on the metabolism is in crease in calorie expediture, the vital factor in controlling body fat.
