A great deal at this price.
Its a pretty good book on bodybuilding. If you have some interest in building a great physique, this book is a must read. Does a great job of educating you about how to go about setting an effective workout program. Its more of a "system" than a program in itself. The only drawback is lack of information on how different exercises and rep ranges affect testosterone and GH levels in the body. Other than that, its exhaustive and well written. Re-read this book again and again, and I am sure each time you will pick up some interesting nugget of information.
just book
just couple minds about training. All of this you can find on dr sqat website. Dont buy.......
Lacking in practical training value
Dr. Hatfield's enthusiasm is infectious, his attitude positive, and his anti-steroid stance a very, very good thing. The photography was likewise above average. Beyond that point, however, the value of this book falls off rapidly. The training seems rather random and not at all soundly reasoned in it's structure; in determining his recommended set/rep/workout frequency combinations, Dr. Hatfield even reassures the reader he's "done the thinking for you". Pronouncements lacking solid rationale (excepting an occasional referrence to the Eastern Bloc trainers with whom he studied) on the "hows" & "whys" of training like so abound. The section on nutritional supplementation contains a bit of what can only be called Dr. Hatfield's personal voodoo. As one example, he stands virtually alone in recommending inosine supplementation, the value of which has long ago been debunked and summarily forgotten amidst bodybuilding's "latest and greatest". For the positives listed above, it certainly doesn't warrant a single star rating. For the negatives that come along with them, however, I can't justify more than two.
