Simple and to the point
Most of these books bore you with too many intro chapters. The author has kept this to a minimum. The routines are straightforward and coded in such a way that you can create alternate day workouts, with a few enhancements you can work in as you like.

Not what I thought
Thought this book was aimed more at home exercises than it is. Mostly gym exercises with many different types of equipment needed.

Well written
I like this book. Not one to read and put away, this book will live next to your weight equipment and get referenced on a regular basis. Intelligently written and copiously illustrated, the author refrains from making whacky dietary recommendations, sticking to simple well-documented concepts. In a field awash with unrealistic expectations, this book urges moderation and progress in baby steps. One of the smartest books of its kind, I highly recommend it.
