★★☆☆☆
Confusing and contradictory. Just trying to make money.
Not what I was expecting. It took TEN chapters to get out of the marketing hype and overall fluff and actually start talking about nutrition or working out. He goes on about how simple it is, then he makes the workout routine chapters bounce all over the place. Talks about the "de-load week, the strength week, etc. By the time I finished reading them, I wasn't sure what to do when. It seemed lot like the advice I got from my friends at the gym back in college when they told me to warm up with 10-15 easy reps then lift three sets heavy at 3-6 reps But these are the same uninformed idiots that spread incorrect 'Broscience" in the gym that I am supposed to not listen to. So I was looking forward to the "free" bonus report titled "The Year One Challenge" with a detailed 12 months workout routine that was listed in the table to contents and listed in a separate chapter with a website address to find it. I figured this would tie it all together. When I went to the website, I got a security error and was unable to get on it. Then I noticed that the 'free' report I was supposed to be able to get was listed on Amazon for $13.32!! Well, then I went to the authors other website and there is NOTHING free on that site. ALL MARKETING, ALL HYPE, all trying to get your money. You got my money when I bought your book, where is my 'free' bonus report and workout guide? He also spends a lot of pages hawking his workouts and trashing every other workout, then in the end, I wasn't really sure what his workout was. He trashes the supplement industry, then he tries to sell you his own supplements - things like pre-workout drinks, fat burners and sleep aids. His protein powder alone is $40 for two pounds (I get it a comparable product on-line for $26 for two pounds). The author talks on and on about how people just want to make money off of you then he does the same thing. Finally - the title says the "Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Make Body", then he recommends several other books he has written. If it is so simple, why can't it be in one book? One of the books is a cookbook where he poses cooking with no shirt on. How can I take this so called expert seriously? I recommend people go to the website "A Workout Routine" and buy their supplements from "Truenutrition.com". I bought this book thinking it would give me more info or help more than those sources - it doesn't. Just another person trying to make money.
