Exercises Shown are Great for Male or Female! September 12, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this book when it first came out, mainly because I am a big fan of Rachel (I fell in love with her in Pumping Iron 2 The Women). I started looking at the exercises that she presents and I realized that many of them can work for me (I am a male). Now it is close to 20 years that this book came out and it is still relevent providing a fundamentally sound work-out regimen that anyone can use to attain or maintain a strong lean physique. Joyce Vedral has an understanding of the human body that few "self-proclaimed" experts (ex. John Beisdow) seem to have. Don't waste your money on some of the overpriced newer books that promise alot with their beautiful models and deliver very little. Try this book instead!
Great Muscle Sculpting Book August 27, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is one of the few books out there that actually tells women to lift as much weight as they can handle comfortably, and that's a great thing! Most books only tell women to lift three to five pound dumbells and omit barbells all together. They are simply playing into many women's fear that they'll turn into a steriod freak naturally by lifting weights for an hour a day. It literally can't happen, ladies. This book is great in that regard. The diet is a bit sparse, through (I didn't see any mention of dairy, and as we know now, dairy actually helps to fight fat as well as building the bones which women, esepcially weight training women need). I also didn't care for Ms. McLish's proselytizing (can you imagine Shakira dedicating a sexy video to the "only perfect person who has ever lived Mohammed"? Ms. McLish basically does this when she dedicated a book where she bends over in a barely there bikini to Jesus. Nice, Rach.), but you can always roll your eyes and ignore. All in all, one of Ms. Vedral's best workout books, although for nutrition I would reccommend another book (perhaps "You on a Diet). I just don't feel that the meals will supply enough fuel to help ward off the sweet tooth and sustain one through the gruelling (and they are, that's why they work!) workouts.
 Disappointed August 4, 2007

I bought a new book and received one that had several pages that were black, as if they were copied too dark.
I cannot comment on the book as it was difficult to read due to poor publishing.
A must read for women who are into fitness August 4, 2005

I recentley bought this book because a friend of mine that is a trainer reccomended it to me. The instructions are easy to follow and the book is filled with beautiful pictures. I enjoy the book and I often utilize the moves from various sections to reduce some of my trouble spots. I would reccomend this to any semi-or higher experienced female weight lifter. I have loaned and reccomended this to many friends. It is a definite addition to any woman's collection of fitness material.
