The Best Bodybuilding Book Out There!

This book is perfect for anyone who is into bodybuilding, or just lifting weights to get into shape. It offers workouts for people who can make it to the gym only 3 times a week, those who can go more often, and those who can't make it at all!Normally the most difficult thing for me to overcome when working out is boredom. However, with this book, I can change up my routine whenever the old one gets boring. I can't recommend this book highly enough!

This is THE author to believe in !!!!!!!

I won't go nuts with this review because it is simple - This author and this book is the first step to take...PERIOD!I had been working out since I was 14, and I honestly did not know what I was doing until I was about 24 or older. Lots of wasted time! I had read many books, tons of those popular "magazines". All of them left me confused and going in circles.My advice - start with this book and read it cover to cover. Then go buy his other books Bodybuilding 101 and Bodybuilding 201. These 3 books alone will give you all you need to know for your first 2 or 3 years of training. After that, your experience and knowledge will guide you from then on. I also recommend buying any other book Dr. Wolff has written. Also, this guy is no pasty pale, 100 pound Doctor reading from a textbook. He has used these methods himself and as you can see by the pictures of him in the books, he is huge and healthy. He walks the walk. Robert Wolff gives you proven and time tested material, coupled with his own personal experience. He goes over proper diet, proper technique and methodology to get you started off on the right foot. All of us are different and what works in the magazine interviews of the Pro bodybuilders probably will not work for you. Did I mention that the author really will answer your e-mail questions!! Yes, I have had actually direct communication with him. He answered my questions and was more than happy to help!!!Forget Atkins, South Beach, and all the other hype out there. Read and learn from Dr. Wolff.

A Perfect Addition To My Fitness Library

I was looking for some new training ideasand this book gave me plenty. While not big ondiet and nutrition (plenty of other books cover that)it did give me lots of ideas on how to change myworkouts. After reading it, I think the goal of the book is to give people different workouts to try and from thoseworkouts give women and men some new and differentchoices that can help keep them motivated andworking out and not quitting because of boredom orno results.I enjoyed the author's web site....He seems like someone who's down to earth, very knowledegable and speaks about the mental aspectand its importance unlike any of the otherfitness and health experts out there.

Just what I needed

I'm so tired of the old three sets of this and three times a week of that. I almost wanted to stop training. And I'm not too excited at the thought of spending more money on personal trainers, so I bought Robert Wolff's Great Workout book. Best money I ever spent.I kinda feel uncomfortable writing where everyone can read what I'm saying, but I will say that the workouts are different, some of them are tough, but they work really, really well and that's all I was looking for in a workout book.I bought his other book called Bodybuilding 101 and found it to be more informative as far as information for a beginner to advanced. But having said that, I think this next book offers a lot more in the way of workouts than Bodybuilding 101 did. For that reason and because it's worked really well for me, I give it five stars.

Excellent source for workout routines.

I have been lifting for 18 months now, I have varied my routine about every 8-12 weeks or so and was running out of ideas,this book is full of great workouts each for different goals and a lot of usefull tips for lifting, a little bit of general nutritional info but definitely great for the weight lifters.
