All Other Authors Should Just Give Up!

This book is absolutely amazing. As far as strength training goes, since I got this book (over eighteen months ago), I have not done a routine I found anywhere else. The principles, programs, and advice given in it are the absolute top available. As a personal trainer, this has also been an invaluable resource. With this book, I have:

- increased my bench press over 100lbs... and finally learnt how to perform this movement properly
- increased my squat and deadlift over 200lbs each
- increased my push-up max from a lame 25 to 76 in just six weeks
- gained approximately 20lbs of lean body mass (note that this was not my goal for the full eighteen months)
- ... among many other things

The push-up program was what I found most impressive. After adding 26 reps to my push-up max in just two weeks on the program, I was of course going to keep the program up... and so when college came back, I made the effort to talk to each of my lecturers before class, and then sit by the door so I could duck out and knock off my sets. This is the only place you'll find routines which are worth putting that sort of effort in to!

Thank you once again, Com. Pavel, for an excellent product.

In the Top 5 of Training Books of All Time

I will be brief.As a trainer of 16 years and a martial artist of 24 years,I can say that I have read most of whats out there.Walk in any book store,go to the weightlifting section and realize that I have read %95 of what is on there shelves.This is a READABLE,APPLICABLE text that could change your physique forever.I first balked at the price but I recant.You can buy this book for what two visits with me would cost.Sure there are prettier books out there but is the data as good?I find that I have reread this text 5 times in the first week since I have owned it.If you really apply what is contained, sucess will not evade.I will not list all that is included;you can simply view the table of contents.Trust my experiance.I am no shill.I have spoken out on the forum when I disapproved of a product.I will stake my reputation as a trainer on the quality of the data this text presents! Safe ,smart training to all!
