Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryAn innovative approach to weightlifting, emphasizing increasing strength along with muscle size--from a renowned strength coach and nationally ranked powerlifter, and a veteran fitness journalist. Most of the 23 million American men who lift weights do so to get bigger; unfortunately, many of them are going nowhere with watered-down bodybuilding routines that don't help them actually get stronger. Eric Cressey's cutting-edge four-phase program, featuring constant progression, variation, and inspiring goals, keeps you focused on increasing strength along with muscle mass, helping you achieve the fittest, most energetic, and best-looking body you've ever had--with fewer hours at the gym. |

If you are serious about your workouts then you need to own this book. I own other books on lifting weights and body building, but this one is different. It puts the emphasis on becoming stronger and if you do the workouts exactly as written, you will do that. I have just completely my first 4 weeks on this 16 week program and I feel much more balanced and stronger already! This is a total body work out, not just staying in the gym for an hour or more at a time working out single body parts, which to me can get a little boring. Eric Cressey knows his stuff. Buy this book!!
Variety is nice.
Rating: 
I was looking for different exercise ideas. This book has a lot of interesting exercise variations.
Well written. This is actualy the second time I bought this book. I purchased it about 18 months ago and was using some of
the exercises. Recently was looking for the book again and couldn't find it, so I ended up buying it a 2nd time. So you could say I would buy it again!
Fantastic
Rating:
If all you did was follow the foam-rolling and mobility work from this book, you would see great results in flexibility, pain-reduction, and injury prevention. I can't recommend this book enough for anyone who ventures into a weightroom with any amount of frequency.
Excellent strength training book
Rating:
I just finished Eric's 16 week program recently. Saw my deadlift improve from 275 to 385 and an increase in bench press from 205 to 225.
Excellent detail in book from warm up exercises to well written descritpions of all the exercises you'll do over the 16 week program. Could not reccommend this book more to someone who is sick of doing the same exercises without seeing results.
5 stars!!
Great stuff
Rating:
This program is great. I don't follow it to a tee, but have been making steady strength increases. The program is well planned and easy to follow. Highly recommend this book.
