There is definitely some useful advice in this book. It explains how to burn fat whilst putting on muscle mass, without overcomplicating things. I will be coming back to this book for advice in the future. I've definitely found some points to take away to help me improve my exercise and diet regime.

Explains everything in crisp and simple manner

The book is written in a way that any novice can reap benefits from it. A good read.
Although the book covers daily calories and macros requirements, however, the one thing missing in the book was a sample meal plan and how to divide macros into each meal. I hope the author would add it in the near future.

This is a quick and good primer on the science behind carb cycling, and increasing your carbs on lifting days, and decreasing it on cardio days in order to get help get ripped.

Good place to start

If you're doing your own research this book can help you piggy back to establish common knowledge. Major con: Rather than demonstrate the exercises in photos (more expensive) the author links you to others web sites (less expensive). All things considered a great place to start. For those a little more advanced you may want to keep looking or in my case stop looking and "Get on it and Stay on it." Lol

Very informative

I currently workout 5-6 days a week. I was looking for a book that could shake up my routine. I found it very informative and look forward to trying some of the ideas discussed. I would rate this more for an intermediate to advanced lifter, if I was a newbie I think I might be a little overwhelmed with all the info.
