(More customer reviews)If you are used to following or reading about bodybuilding style weight training programs then this book will be a breath of fresh air. I wish I had come across this book years ago and given my experiences with unnecessary sports injuries over the years I was keen to follow this book to the letter. At the time of writing I am currently in the "Muscle Building" section of the book and I have to say that so far things are going pretty good.
What I particularly like about the book is the emphasis it gives to correction of bodily alignment and posture. This is the most important aspect of weight training and of any exercise activity bar none. After all if a sport or exercise activity is not done correctly with correct muscle activation patterns then it is best not to proceed at all.
There is a major criticism with this section however. The tests provided are sufficient to identify any aspects of posture and muscle activation that need correction. If you can afford it however or know of someone experienced in the area then it is probably best to get an external opinion when performing these tests. We tend to fool ourselves when it comes to judging our abilities.
If corrective action needs to be taken then the exercises prescribed, while useful and relevant, are not sufficient. It is probably best to get the advice of a good physio, physical therapist, chiropractor, podiatrist or rolfer. Corrective action takes a long time to have an effect and should be continued when you move on to the other sections of the book.
I don't really know why diagrams of exercises are repeated in the book in each section. It would be better to save paper and have an appendix at the back.
