3.0 out of 5 stars Two great books that will change your body!! Serious!!, 21 April 2003
I've been an on and off bodybuider for about 10 years now, using different training systems and diets. I eventually got fed up with all this mixing and matching so I decided to follow the two people I most respected, Mike Mentzer and Franco Columbo. I bought Mike Mentzers book for the training system from word of mouth at the gym and Franco's for the diet from my own respect for his size and definition. Has this mix of knowledge worked?? Yes it has! The set diets in Franco's book have not only shown a difference in my physique but also made me feel healthier and fitter. Mike Mentzers book was excellent, you know your onto something after the very first training session, you can actually feel you've trained properly...Another aspect to Mike and Franco's books is their honesty about rip off protein drinks and bodybuilding magazines with their non-productive articles and supplement advertisements that just dont work.....these two books have saved me wasted time and money and for the price of around £20 will definately put the smile back on your face!

Best Bits:
Training the Mike Mentzer Way:
(a) 15-45mins training sessions
(b) Honesty about Bodybuilding Marketing
(c) Max 3 days per week training system
Franco Columbo's Nutrition Book:
(a) Set diets for body/training type
(b) Natural foods to lose fat and gain muscle
(c) Vitamins section and guide was helpful
(d) Food list and protein quality list

2.0 out of 5 stars Suited to those studying nutrition for a formal course, 16 Jan 2002
The bodybuilders nutrition book is not for the faint hearted, it goes into great depth and detail on the many aspects of nutrition. In short this is more suited to those studying nutrition for a formal course. I suspect the average bodybuilder may not be interested in a great deal of the content within this book due to the depth it goes into. There is very little information on diets etc to follow whilst training, which many people buying this book would be interested in. there is a wealth of information on vitamins, minerals, the digestive processes, and how the body interacts between these. In conclusion I feel this book is not suitable for people that require information on diets to follow or recipes to include on those diets, but more towards people that are seriously interested more in the role that nutrition plays in the body.

2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, 22 Dec 2004
By Bernard Burke (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not a bad book, and gives excellent nutritional advice based on whole foods etc, rather than junk or gimicky supplements. However, it was written nearly 20 years ago (1985) and is woefully out of date, especially regarding recent developments such as the use of creatine supplementation, and the latest estimates of daily protein requirements. Also contains some rather dubious personal opinions on the benefits and drawbacks of certain foods. Contains some nice personal bodybuilding philosophy and annecdotes which may be of interest to some readers.
