Title: Lacking some details, but worked for me!
Review: I read the reviews of this book before I bought it and some of the ones pointing out flaws were accurate. There is no real discussion of stretching before or after lifting. There are not a lot of recipes or an exhaustive listing of high quality proteins and low fat carbs.But - the book is inspirational and, frankly, the first book that has helped me get off my rear and get into shape. The stories are interesting and I for one liked Bill Philips relaxed style of writing. This is not Shakespeare, but that was not the goal. In twelve weeks, I lost over 15 pounds and gained about 10 pounds of muscle. I can fit into pants I wore in high school (I'm 38) and am, truly, in the best shape of my life.This book describes a program that you can stick with for life. It is not some faddish, freakish, un-maintainable, "eat only bean sprouts or meat" routine that is not realistic for most people. The book has been worth it price a hundred times over for me.
