Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Donuts as a recovery food?? Comment: I am using the title as a "hook", because I thought it was a really novel idea to include this in a book, and I enjoyed the author's ideas. The text doesn't flow extremely smoothly, but the chapters are short and most readers aren't expecting a literary masterpiece. Interesting ideas, concise, specific, and to the point. Down to earth yet far-reaching in scope. One of several recommended books to build your body without steroids. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for beginners, basic for pros Comment: For the beginner this book is indispensible as it introduces you to the basics of bodybuilding from a dieting and measuring standpoint. I found that even myself learned a few things that if asked previously would or should have seemed like common knowledge. If youve been in the game for a long time now you prob wont get much from it as scientifically it is very basic and simple. Overall i think worthy of a place in your library. Customer Rating: Summary: straightforward information Comment: This book works well for me, it is a straightforward book and Dr. Willey was great in replying when I emailed him with questions. Very satisfied. Customer Rating: Summary: Bad Review? Comment: The bad reviews given were by people who already knew much of the information in this book. While there is nothing groundbreaking in this book, it is very well written, easy to follow, and a great book for the novice or intermediate bodybuilder. This book has information on nutrition, training, and supplements. If you are not an advanced bodybuilder or have not read much on this sport, you WILL benefit from this book! Customer Rating: Summary: Save your money Comment: Honestly save your money there is nothing new that i learned from this book that you cant find on bodybuilding forums!!! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Better Than Steroids! is a summary of what you need to know to be a successful bodybuilder, athlete or just to look freaking good. It covers in a stepwise fashion, the information you need to succeed. I will review why and how anabolic steroids work, which will lead us into why food programs, eating plans and tricks like the pre and post workout meal are not only comparable to anabolic steroids, but better! I will review the importance of tracking your body composition, as those who are meticulous enough to do so are the ones who keep improving. I will give you a quick synopsis of water, and will review information directly from What Does Your Doctor Look like Naked? Your Guide to Optimal Health such as Food Timing and The Free Window. The meat of the book is the eating plans. I have reviewed the top four eating plans for guaranteed success. They come with detailed instructions on how they work, when they work best, and how to design one for yourself. From leaning up to bulking up, these are the eating plans that work. They teach you how to use the most powerful drug out there, food, to your advantage. I say it all the time, "Anyone can exercise, but only the ones who know HOW to eat make improvements!" This is followed by the pre and post workout meals, the most important meals in a bodybuilder's day. With this information on utilization of these powerful meals, mass gain is optimized, fat is burned, soreness is reduced and recovery is enhanced! I then cover glycogen supercomensation, a dominant technique in the quest for maximal muscle gain. BTS started out with a full chapter on supplements, but near the end I felt it was more important and beneficial to get the eating plans understood, as this is the true power in a bodybuilder's bag of tricks. I have included a few supplements' in an appendix, and will plan to use the rest in future books. There is a detailed review of the most successful cardio routine out there, the High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) program. There is a section on weight lifting practices, as monotony in the gym will be the death of your goal attainment. Finally, BTS provides some algorithms for putting all the information together for your optimal achievement.
