Wish I could get it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Championship Body Building: Chris Aceto's Instruction Book for Body Building (Plastic Comb)
FYI - If you are planning to order this book, be advised that the "usually ships within 24 hours" might be a bit of an exaggeration. I waited nearly two weeks, and when customer service could tell me nothing more than "it is delayed" I cancelled the order and went to another online bookstore.

Pretty Good,
By BookGuy - Published on Amazon.com
Aceto is a smart guy and honestly tries to bring some scientific analysis to bodybuilding. So much of what is published on the topic is hype or unproven. Some bodybuilders may quibble with the fact that Aceto only mentions "known" facts about bodybuilding, but his presentation is better. No hype about building an "awesome physique" or "massive arms" or "ripped this" or "shredded that"...it's more about progressive resistance, good form, solid nutrition, and a very good description of muscle physiology. His key points to bodybuilding may be "known", but Aceto makes the case that they are the way to stimulate muscle growth...and that's the beauty of the book: It's 'Tips to Muscle Growth' vs. 'Awesome Muscle-Blasting Routines of the Pros'. You choose. There are two "cons" about the book that brought it from a 5-Star rating to a 4-Star rating in my estimation: 1) Aceto--as in some of his other books--needs a copy editor. There are some typos and grammatical inconsistencies. Not enough to throw you, but they're there. 2) The book does suffer from a superficiality, of sorts. He states a fact or opinion, gives a reason or two, then moves on. There is no real in-depth, drilling-down except in certain Aceto-mastered areas (e.g., muscle physiology, nutrition, etc.). However, this is not a real show-stopper...the information contained is reliable, and the book is a very good adjunct to other books you may have on the subject.

Best Book on Bodybuilding!!!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
I own a lot of books by many different writers including Mentzer, Parillo, Polaquin. Where this book differs from others is in the author's ability to deliver the information WITHOUT CONFUSING YOU. As it claims in the description, it , in fact, does cover the isssues of sets, reps, freqency of training, aerobics, and nutrition. I recommend this book highly to others who want the low down and truth on training and diet.

loved it!,
By cindy breer - Published on Amazon.com
I am a 34 year old female completely confused with all the different advise I had been getting at the gym I joined so I purchased this book after some one I know recommended it to me. I was very very happy with it because it provided me with what I nedded, total and complete guidance in training from the reps to do the sets and how often to workout to putting the body parts together. The nutrion was also very impressive though iI think it is geared more towards the bodybuilder who does contests. I think women who are confused as me would highly highly benefit.
