pattieod's review against another edition
4.0
A deeply flawed book, but a great resource to purchase and bring to the gym with you if you're starting to lift weights, and want a systematic approach to doing so. The writing itself is at best unsophisticated, the diet is draconian, but the lifting program is perfect. Starts you slow, and then moves you onward, changing your workout regularly. Combine this with some Pilates work for your core, and you've got a workout program that is easy to follow and really will change your body for the better (without adding bulk - just like the book promises). Best $20 I've ever spent.
Would have liked more information on ab work and stretches, and less of the dopey Pep Talk stuff, but I copied out the weight program into a little notebook, and take it with me everywhere I go. Most of the exercises can be modified to use even in the smallest hotel gyms, so long as they have a set of dumbbells available.
