Title: Counter-productive for the Average Lifter
Review: This book is about 25 years out of date with both scientific results and empirical observations on what works for the average, non-steroid popping individual.This was my bible for the first 5 years of my weight-lifting life, and it was the worst possible thing I could read. I trained as prescribed by Arnie and ate like a pig. I made only nominal strength and weight gains because like 95% of the population, I'm a 'hard-gainer', which means that unless I take steroids, lifting more than 3x a week is overtraining. Recovery time is at least one week per muscle group for the average person. According to Arnold's schedule, it's more like 24-48 hours.A year ago I switched to a much less physically and mentally taxing 2-3x a week plan typical of HIT (high-intensity training), and have seen gains of 2.5lbs/week on bench and 5 lbs/week on squat.Arnold's book is average for tips on form. Its training regimen is only for Mr. Steroids.
