 Great Book! September 2, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book is just what I was looking for! It was a gift for a friend and they love it!
Great guide for those without a lot of time or options! June 21, 2007
If anyone looking at this book is like me, you know you don't always have time to work out (active duty military, married, taking classes). So while being deployed i ordered this book, and the one thing i noticed is this plan gives you plenty of options to customize the workouts to your lifestyle! Don't like free weights? it has plenty of options with machines. Can't get to the gym today? It has exercises without weights that you can knock out anytime you're not busy. Anyone knows that training isn't going to do jack squat for you if you're not eating right, this book breaks down exactly what nutrients you should be taking in and the right amounts, you'd be suprised with the crazy theories i've heard about nutrition outside the weight room! The feature i like most about this is the isolation chapters. One chapter lists over 30 sports, and what kind of exercises you should focus on to excel at (without neglecting the rest of your body of course). Also, with the "Quick set path to power", you can customize your workouts to target specific parts of the body, to include arms, shoulders, abs, legs, etc. In conclusion, if you're a serious trainer, and you've been lifting for years, you probably won't find too much useful in here, but you never know, you may find the one element you've been missing the whole time! If you're starting out or are a generally seasoned trainer, this is a great book for when your routines are getting dull and you find yourself with less and less time! Great read, definitely worth the time!

A Complete Plan to Get the Very Best Results - I Lost more than 200 Lbs !!! July 11, 2006
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I love this book. It truly is a complete reference to fat lost and getting in shape in a Healthy way. It has sound theory on strength training and smart eating, and a good selection of exercises for muscle building.
I lost more than 200 lbs about six years ago, during a period of about eight months, and went from pants 44 to 32. Prior to star changing my eating and exercise habits I bought "Men's Health Hardbody Plan" which I give most of the credit for my success. Two years later I bought "The Testosterone Advantage Plan", another excellent, easy to read, comprehensive and complete reference and I found the advices in this book most useful to keep the weight off through an easy to follow eating plan, and used its advices for the gym. With both books I have been able to keep the weight off for more than six years.
This is a really good book. I love it. If it worked for me I am sure it can work for you. You just have to be constant and focus in the result you want to achieve.
Another tools you may want to consider, to complement this book and your strategies for boosting your metabolism, loosing weight, and even more important keeping that weight off are:
- A Body Fat Monitor or Scale. This will help you monitor your progress, to assure that the weight you are loosing is fat (fat lost = increased metabolism) and not muscle, water or bone mass (decreased metabolism).
- "Ultrametabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss", which is another very practical, readable and insightful book, focused on how to boost your metabolism.
- "The Abs Diet: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life".
- A Heart Rate Monitor Wrist Watch. This is an excellent tool that will help you monitor and control your Heart Rate in order to keep yourself in a burning fat state (increased metabolism).
- "The Hard Body Guide". Excellent strategies, programs and workouts, aimed to increase your muscle mass.
If you are focused only on your diet, the first three may be worth considering. If you exercise, or want to start doing it right, the last two are for you. If you do both, all the four recommended options can improve your results.
