A Wonderful Workout

I have been following this workout for about a month now, and it is amazing. If anyone thinks that this isn't an effective workout, then they haven't tried it. I have tried many other workout regimens and this is truly the most intense. The results that anyone will enjoy come very quickly. If you are sick and tired of toying around with different workouts, get this book and the guesswork is over. It is the best way to build a body that is ready for anything that you are ready to throw at it. The nutritional advice also proves that you don't have to be a nutritionist to support a healthy body. Read it, try it, and you will understand.

Building a Muscular Physique without using extreme measures

There are loads of bodybuilding books out there. And to some, the price of this book may be on the high side. So, why Antonio Sabato's Workout For Life?Here's why. The physique achieved by Antonio is no mean feat. This book shows you how you can build a great physique by being moderate and commonsensical; without resorting to pills, supplements and fancy diets; and without lifting weights which may be too heavy for your own good.It's refreshing how Antonio departs from the usual oft-cited bodybuilding "wisdom" out there. Conventional bodybuilding techniques teach you to use heavy weights and to have rests in between these heavy sets. However, using heavy weights do not necessarily translate into muscles. Antonio believes in using intensity to build muscles - that means using lighter weights but moving quickly from set to set and without excessive rest. If you have trouble lifting the weights, then it is too heavy for your body, and you should use lighter weights, says Antonio.What I was impressed by was the fact that Antonio achieved his physique without resorting to any fancy diet, supplement or pill.Antonio also believes in keeping in shape all year round. So there is no such thing as an "off-season" to him and neither is there a need for him to "get in shape again". The mental attitude adopted by him is truly inspiring. Antonio helps you to rid yourself of all excuses to get yourself in shape.All I have said so far is already worth half the price of the book. The photos in this book are worth the other half. There are lots of photographs of Antonio Sabato Junior's great physique and him in action working out.If you like to get in shape but don't know how, I recommend that you get this book.

Very Inspiring

I'm not your average book reader but I do go to the gym and work out 5 times a day. When I first heard about the book I almost didn't buy it because I thought it would be the typical diet/excercise book. I am glad I did buy it because it was not like that at all I like the fact that it's actually Antonio himself telling all about your body and working out not someone who gets info and publishes in his book. I feel that this book help me out alot it had alot of motivation and very truthful info, the pics were awesome and the workout program was great I liked the fact that he tells you how many reps/sets to do. any time I get the urge to slack off I just pick up his book and start reading it. All in it was a great book it made me feel good. GREAT JOB ANTONIO.

FINALLY, A WORKOUT ROUTINE AND REGIMIN THAT REALLY WORKS.

I'M NOT INTO BOOKS ABOUT FITNESS, BUT I WAS INTRIGUED ABOUT ANTONIO AND HOW HE TRANSFORMED HIS BODY FROM THE EARLY DAYS WHEN HE WAS APPEARING IN JANET JACKSON MUSIC VIDEOS. I HAVE A SIMILAR BUILD, HAVE BEEN WORKING OUT FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND WANTED TO FINE TUNE AND SCULP MY BODY BECAUSE I LIKED HIS LOOK. AFTER READING THE BOOK, IT ALL MADE SENSE. THE PHILOSOPHY ABOUT HOW YOUR ATTITUDE SHOULD BE IN THE GYM, ALONG WITH THE SUPERSET AND THE NUITRITION INFORMATION. I COULD SEE IN ONLY ONE WEEK VERY NOTICEABLE RESULTS. I HAVE LENT IT TO MY WORKOUT PARTNER SO THAT HE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN WHEN I APPROACH HIM ABOUT CHANGING THE WAY WE WORK OUT. I HAVE CUT MY WORKOUT TIME IN HALF WITH IMPROVED RESULTS. GONE ARE THE MINUTES OF WASTED TIME, RESTING BETWEEN SETS, WAITING FOR MACHINES AND LOGGING INFORMATION ON NOTEPADS THAT DON'T MEAN ANYTHING. LIKE THE BOOK SAYS, "DON'T STOP TO VISIT WITH PEOPLE, DON'T STOP TO WRITE IN NOTEBOOKS, IF YOU HAVE TIME TO DO THIS, YOU ARE NOT WORKING OUT" YOU ARE WASTING TIME. THIS BOOK MAKES PERFECT SENSE. THE CONCEPTS ARE SIMPLE TO FOLLOW AND UNDERSTAND. IT WILL REMAIN A PART OF MY FITNESS PROGRAM FOR YEARS AND YEARS TO COME.

WOW! What a workout! What a book!!

I just finished my first workout after reading the book and I can honestly say it was the hardest workout I have experirnced in a long time. It is very refreshing to read a book that lets readers know that it doesn't take a magic pill or some crazy diet to get in shape. It just takes hard work and, like the author says, NO EXCUSES! If you are not willing to bust your butt to get in shape dont buy this book. If you believe that hard work pays off and are looking for some solid advice, this book is it.
