revolutionary

Customer Rating:
I think this is one of the best books I ever read / followed. The concepts are awesome, the results so far are amazing. I wish I would have found this sooner. It's the better than ANY supplement I ever tried. A 10$ used one is the best mony ever spent! This book change my line of thinking about nutrition forever.

Excellent book for those interested in maximizing Strength Training

Customer Rating:
The book is very thorough! The authors poured over quality scientific studies to determine at how, when, why, and how much you should supplement with types of Protein, simple/complex Carbohydrates, Aminos, Vitamins, and minerals in the pre, during, and post workout periods.

High POINTS: The chapter summaries and key points are very nice to cement in what you have learned.

It is not your standard exercise/fitness/nutrition book stating "I did it this way, now I am selling my book." Nor is it a collection of pictures showing dudes stating "I gained 14.7 pounds in 12 mins, you can too by drinking snake oil."

Criticism: The book is redundant, continually restating the same points over and over again. Maybe it is to beat it into your head?

I am going to buy "Performance Zone" a follow up book that covers aerobic training as well.

Happy LIFTING!

body building nutrition

Customer Rating:
I have read many books on body building, beginning with Arnold's and then nutrition related texts for support of what I am trying to achieve. This book has added what for me was a missing aspect in my attempts at success because with only two small changes in my methodology I have had good gains in only seven workouts.

Could be much shorter - like 2 or 3 pages

Customer Rating:
To sum up the book: Drink a quickly digesting protein/carbohydrate drink within an hour of training. 40 grams protein, 60 to 80 grams carbs. Whey protein with Dextrose, Waxy Maize, etc.

All the rest is just the science which you really don't need to know about.

I got it half price and felt cheated

Customer Rating:
If you know less than nothing about nutrition, spending five minutes on Google will give you more useful information than reading this book. If you want to buy a book, this one would be at the very bottom of my list.

It's misleading and dishonest in the way it promotes itself.

It says the nutrient timing can be divided into 3 phases. It describes the first phase, it then goes on to describe the 2nd phase but forgets and carries on describing the first phase. As far as I can see all three phases are roughly the same.

So I propose a new "revolution" as the authors call it: Nutrient timing can be divided into one big phase and I'm going to call it "Life" and it's exactly the same as the Phase 1, 2 and 3 of this silly book. What I propose is you eat adequate carbs, protein and fat, before during and after working out. I'm going to call it a revolution and publish it in a book. I'm going to pad it out with schoolboy essays about the different nutrients to make it look like it's backed by science when it isn't.


I got this book half price and feel like I've been robbed, it's really that bad. Badly written, misleading, dishonest and just not worth even half the price.
