Buy it! March 6, 2008

Brilliant book. Mr Bronson has put together a great manual for straightforward no-nonense strength training, cardio fitness and general well-being. He has mastery over his subject and is the living embodiment of what he preaches. Whether you are experienced in fitness, strength and health or new to the subject, this book has much to offer

There are literally hundreds of books on this website about how to get a "6 pack" or how to "tone your arms", but these books are all built for the weak minded self-concious types who care more about looks, than seriously looking after your body on the inside and out. This book will not get you 'ripped' like you see on TV in those pathetic adverts, it is much deeper than that pap! It will however seriously develop your musucular endurance and cardiovascular power(circuit training).
This book provides examples of simple (apart from hand stand press ups that is!) but highly effective excercises that do not require the use of ANY equipment at all. It provides sound and concise physiological guidance of each excercise, and Bronson's narrative throughout the book keeps it interestin to say the least!
To explain how good the book is I'll say this. Up until last week I had two sets of free weights, a rowing machine and a 'chest expander'. After buying this book they have all had to be thrown because the excercises in this book have provided me with a much more effective way of looking after my body (and they began to collect dust!)
Buy the bloody good book! July 8, 2007

I bought this book after sampling a variety of different physical culture regimes and accumilating the baggage of various weight training paraphernalia. I just wish it had been out earlier!
Some of the language is a bit ladish and the binding on my copy isn't that good. The odd page has come away. But that should also be a sign of good use, yea?
Once you get down to it, learning the exercises and then doing each routine daily isn't so bad. It can take a bit more time than weights but is very worth while. Results you'll notice pretty quickly. Highly recommended.

Believe it or not, I am one of those afformentioned 300+ personal trainers and unlike my lack of competition I have a degree and masters from one of the world most respected sports uni's not some premier personal training certificate..furthermore I'm a pretty well respected athlete in several sports, and i'm a stuntman!! My opinion, you could do a lot worse than paying attention to Charlie, he personifes the correct mindset with respect to training you ass off and getting results (although maybe not towards staying out of trouble..lol). Hardwork and results are demonstrated and achievable if you get your ass in gear. There isn't a better guy to hear this from than Charlie, mines a signed copy and he IS the boy!! Honestly can't critisise this much, nothing hear really to harm you. He may not quite have the most medical of backgrounds, but bhe covers the topic in both a thourough and entertaining manner. I really do rate this 5 stars as he brings across a truley disciplined approach. Alright, maybe the female model is blatentley chemically assisted, which is something Charlie is against (quite rightly so), but the book is clear, consise and thourough. Really, really good in fact, now pull your finger out and pay attention as this guy will give you a really thouough grounding. Once he is done with you go buy the Poliquin Principles (another Charlie, lol), an expensive, but extremely worthwhile investment. As Bronson says, "Pump it in, blow it out!" lol!!
