The mainstream body-building-style approach to strength training does not work for everyone and many men train hard with distinctly underwhelming results. The news is that if you are an ectomorph (scrawny) you need to start treating your body differently if you want to build muscle and strength. Author John Berardi, who speaks from personal experience of extreme scrawniness, explains what you have to do in the gym and in the kitchen to gain the weight and the muscle you long to have. A complete and detailed training programme runs alongside a comprehensive nutritional system that tells you exactly what to eat when and what supplements to take. Explaining the science behind the advice on what to do and eat, the authors help you to understand and realise your goals. From here on in you're in control of your own physical destiny! Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great ideas crammed amiss due to unrestrained and sleazy work.Had the authors just shut up and laid down their exercise photos, with few captions under them, they might have accomplished some decent publication. Yet, the book presents fallacious and misleading information that could have been averted with slight restraint on the part of the authors. Many false promises taint the authors' intention. In many locations, you read that they will teach you how to solve certain problems completely such as the difficulty with front squat. A great part ... Read More Rating:  - A was bribed by the author, too.If you make the mistake of giving the author your e-mail address (in response to his trial "personal training program"), you might receive from the author an email, like I received, asking you to leave him a good review on Amazon from additional "free" training materials. Sleazy? You bet. Rating:  - Great InfoGreat info, JB and Mike found a way to provide usable info to beginner, intermediate, and the advanced trainees. I'm a trainer/strength coach/fitness writer myself, and was extremely pleased with the amount of applicable info in this book. I've taken away quite a bit that I can apply immediately with my clients (JB always reminds me that I don't know everything...) The title is somewhat limiting in regards to the content; even if you're not a typical skinny fella trying to ... Read More Rating:  - Beware of the good reviews belowThe author of this book is bribing people to write good reviews by offering a free book to anyone who writes a good review. Don't fall for this fraud. If the book is really so great, the author wouldn't need to bribe people to write good reviews. Stay away! While you're at it, stay away from any other book written by Michael Mejia. Also, the book calls for a 4500 calorie diet and nine substantive meals per day. Do you really think a normal person can tolerate nine meals and more than twice ... Read More Rating: - G McDowallWell written so all can understand, like all of John Berardi's work. Finally a book that takes you from the beginning, even if you have some challenges that won't allow you to do all the exercises from day 1, through a complete program, to the atainment of the goals you set and beyond. This book outlines workout programs and gives all the tools to create your own. The meal plans that are outlined are complete with real food, suggested supliments, and timing for both. The book goes on to provide the information ... Read More
