5 out of 5 - November 03, 2004

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover, if you want a training program that is safe and gives you maximum gains then this book is it. Unless you are already a serious body builder then I think anyone who lifts weights who hasn't had an instructor can benefit from this book. If you've been the type who has pulled out "build killer arms" programs etc from magazines and tried to patch together a program then this is a great place to start and put it all together and throw away some of the myths. It teaches you the basic principles which is REST is as important as exercise and focus and intensity and good form is more important than the actual weight you lift. It teaches you not in its text but by the program is set for you. This is not a wordy book but there are million words of good advice in the programs themselves and your body will show you the results.

It also works on the big compound exercises such as squats, bench press etc and doesn't put to much focus on isolation exercises. I know that one reviewer said that this program misses out whole body parts for a week at a time. This is not true, as the big compound exercise work all the major muscle groups and as a beginner this is what you should be focusing on. Even Arnold says that all body builders should start the first few years on the big traditional compound exercises so if your starting out and are serious about lifting weights this is as good a book to start as anywhere. If you think there is not enough isolation exercises or bicep curls etc, your wrong you don't need them, all you will do by focusing on isolation exercises is injure yourself.

What's also great about the program is that most of the sessions are only 45 mins long so most ordinary working people can do it without taking away all their free time . My only criticism of it is that in order to get the most out in terms of gains and safety you should buy another book that shows you correct form and how to ensure you don't injure yourself when training to failure. This book can't be everything and although it does give you a run down of the exercises I would say buying something like "the insiders tell-all handbook on weight-training technique" would be the icing on the cake and the killer combination.

With regards the weight lost aspect that it sells a lot. this is not strictly true and I just think its gone on the marketing band wagon here which is a shame as this book has so much to offer in its own right. If you have a weight problem this book will not stop you from over eating or help you lose a lot of weight. But what it will do is give you more pride in your body and make you stronger and fitter which may give you the motivation to lose weight.

This is not your typical "Juicer" program and there is no muscles freaks showing you how to do the exercises, promising you muscles you have no chance of getting without chemical enhancement and 5 hrs in gym everyday. This book is for those 99% of us who want to gain muscle and do it as quick and as SAFE as possible while still being able to live our everyday lives, the best of it's kind and a must for anyone starting off in the gym.
