Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The book got five stars from me in the past. I would still give it five stars for what it is. I have given many of Arnold's books five starts but I have decided to balance all of those reviews with a 1 star review here. Why 1 star? Let me explain. This book contains images of Drug-Users. All of the people in this book are highly genetically gifted and they all regularly stick needles in their muscles. They go on cycles of drugs to expand on their already massive genetically gifted muscles. ALL of them do this. There is not one, not one single picture, of a bodybuilding that has not used more roids in a year than a city hospital gives out in five years. The arm on the cover of the book is $40,000 arm. It was paid for by Joe Weider who sponsored Arnie to drop work and instead train and take drugs to develop the perfect body that mankind would pay to see. Arnold was already very gifted and he was using lots of drugs. He had too because he was being paid to do it full time by the biggest manager of the bodybuilding world at the time, Mr. Weider. Arnold is a God among men. In this book he paired up with other God's among men. People who are genetically gifted and injecting themselves with expensive drugs for lots of cycles over long periods of time. You must understand that this is what you are seeing. You must understand that unless you are genetically gifted and doing lots of drugs you can never achieve the muscle proportions of the World's leading bodybuilding drug users. The worst part is yet to come. These drug-users have absolutely no idea how to train any other way than to use drugs and sit in the gym all day banging out bigger muscles. If you want to spend 6 days a week isolation training without drugs, and have the needed gifts, you are about to throw your life away or end up doing drugs, for an eighth of the results. You will inevitably horribly and miserably fail, crash and burn. IF,... and this is a big IF... you choose to reject, unconditionally, everything training related that you read here.... And IF... and this is another big IF... you only read the information here for kicks... and IF... you seek advice from non-drug natural bodybuilding books... that promote progressive weight lifting (something Arnold talks about but doesn't explain)... that promote long rest periods... and promote better exercise form... then you can achieve a look in 3-5 years time, that will get you a lot of attention, and may look as good as an athlete who has not taken drugs. Concentrate on progressive compound movements (squat, deadlift, bench press). You also need to learn how to control your calories by eating good food only and getting your BF% around 10-15% for the look, while learning how to BULK and CUT. None of this information is in this book. The exercise form in the pictures is hideous and dangerous. The routines are absurd. Everyone is pumped up on drugs. Never let anyone fool you by thinking differently. Drugs did most of the work not cycles of weekly 6 days of isolation exercises in the gym. Now the book is five stars for what it is. Amazing motivation and a canon of bodybuilders like you have never seen them before. I love it! But apply extreme caution. Learn about steroid abuse and how drug users have no idea how to train. The form in this book has injured people badly.
