Review: great pump - I always wanted this one, I used to read it in bookshops and get a proper pump in my arm holding it up for 20 mins. The hardback was too pricey for me back then. Great read. Very inspirational and a lot to make you really think. Some of his views are maybe a bit un-scientific and unsubstantiated here and there but it obviously worked for him, but maybe not you! A must-read, though alongside other material of course, still good though, I don't think we know too much more, even now. Reassuringly a dab of mayonnaise and a smidgeon of butter is permitted in some of the meal plans even though it is on a banned list 2 pages later, whatever.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book
*by A***L on 9 October 2008*

A really informative and highly detailed book. I have only recently started out keeping fit(last 6 months) and trying to tone up, this book will provide loads of exercises, to many for me to try at the moment. but I can see this being a very usefully manual on how to do certain routines and focus on certain parts of the body. With the progress of time we can see that quite a lot of body builders have possibly pushed themselves to far, as quite a few seem to have heart problems. I won't be doing that level of punishment they used to do, but If one wishes to do this, this book will provide them with a great deal of help.
