Superb - By: M. Cooper, 30 Mar 2008 
As a personal trainer for over five years I have seen much of the needless training trainees try to bulid strngth & mass. Routines from genetic super humans & drug fed trainees will not work for you & will have you investing time & money in the wrong direction, leaving you in a well of frustration. Believe me I have been there, but apply Stuart's excellent advice & you will be in the peak of health transforming your frame, bettering yourself week after week. While there are some other authors who write very well on sensible abbreviated training Stuart for me is number one. If you ever buy one authors work on weight training in your life let it be McRoberts work. 5 stars does not do his work enough justice as it is streaks in front of the rest. BUY IT!
SIMPLY THE ONLY BOOK YOU NEED ON BODYBUILDING - By: Mr. M. Davies, 12 Oct 2007 I have to say that this book is simply astounding & i reallly hope that the author reads this review as he has completely changed my training life. As the author mentions, i was stuck in the rut of training four times a week on a 2 hour workout split. I had nicely tones muscles but none of the strength & development i was promised by top body builders & trainers. Why was this?, simply because they themselves do not know what they are doing in regards to advising a 20 year old man with a fast metabolism. I have gained 35 pounds of muscle in 3 years on this programme & am currently at 7% body fat. I train half of what i used to. If you are like i was & are sick of the defention of alll water based freaks-buy this book, read what the author has to say & i promise you faithfully that you will escape the training mentality that is ruining aspiring bodybuilders. A top book by a top man.
Just a repeat of Brawn + too long on one theory - By: stretchingthemind, 03 Jun 2007 
This is basicallly a repeat of Brawn with extra pages. Those pages simply go on & on about the same theory, that of abbreviated training. Go for Operation Morpheus from area9.net if you reallly want a motivational & effective book on gaining mass drug free as the author does not accept that even the least gifted bodybuilder cannot get massive & ripped. It cannot be beaten.
Disappointing given the other reviews - By: Hooligan 69, 18 May 2007 
I'm not criticising the logic behind this training programme - it does work. However the book itself stretches the basic "abbreviated training" philosophy to the absolute limit over 500 odd pages.
The best book I have ever read on weight training - By: Mr. J. Lewis, 15 Oct 2006 I bought this book almost 3 years ago so have had plenty of opportunity to put what it advocates into practice. In summary I would say if you reallly want to learn how to build a strong physique without the use of performance enhancing substances this book has almost everything you need. I say almost because it doesn't cover workout technique, but Stuart McRobert has written another book covering this in detail.
Much of the advice in this book flies in the face of conventional weight training progams, however it honestly does work. If you are somebody who has tried traning 4,5 or 6 days a week on split programs, with comparatively little success, this book will open your eyes.
In summary a great book, with great information for anybody serious about weight training.
