Summary: NOT for the beginner
Comment: I'm an avid reader of Men's Health but this book is by no means for the "average guy." This book is filled with lots of great tips for those who want to be professional weight lifters but I would never recommend this to a beginner. A workout book should inspire you...this book was so complicated and intimidating I was discouraged before even hitting the gym.

Summary: Authoritative indeed!
Comment: Out of all the work out books/magazines I've read, I must say, I was quite impressed with how detailed this book was. Not only does it give you a well thought out work out plan that caters to different types of people, it also explains the science behind working out and the body which is crucial to becoming successful and muscular. The only thing I disliked was the rather anemic section on what to eat. I wish there were more sample meal plans. Other then that, the book is perfect.

Summary: Good Advice; Solid Results
Comment: This is the first strength training book that I've purchased, and made the decision to get this book based on Ian King's reputation and other customers' feedback. I have had this book for a few months now, and found it surprisingly readable and effective. Not only is there detailed pictures of each exercise in the workouts, but the text at the beginning explains why you do what you do, and why you can expect to see different results in each stage (e.g., neural adaptation vs. muscle hypertrophy). I am just getting into weight lifting, but am about 6 weeks into the Beginning Program (each program lasts 6 months: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced), and have gained almost 10 lbs. of muscle in that period. I am sore, no doubt, but have not seen other articles / books that contradict the sound advise given in this book. You will not regret having this book in your library!

Summary: Beautiful book
Comment: Nicely done and well put together. Not a book to take around to the gym though as it is more of a coffee talble book.
