2.0 out of 5 stars Okay. But leaves a lot to be desired., May 31 2004

Ray "Red Devil" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Flawless: The 10-Week Total Image Method for Transforming Your Physique (Paperback)

I bought this book based on all the fantastic reviews. (I read them all.) Ones that said: BEST WORK OUT BOOK I'VE EVER OWNED, Very Realistic, and The perfect training program

Unfortunately I have to go along with the couple that said: Well intentioned but flawed in terms of real life and, Somewhat Unrealistic.

In the two plus years that I have been going to the gym, buying and reading workout books, and gathering all the information I can on bodybuilding, I have learned a couple things. 1) There is no perfect workout. 2) Every person is different and will make better gains on some workouts than other workout routines.

So there is a place for Bob Paris's workout routines and I am using one of them now. But as mentioned already, they are very long and will quickly lead to over training, especially for beginners. Also, they do not include much variation, i.e., the set and rep schemes are all pretty similar. The SAID principle (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands) is scientifically established and proves that variation in workout routines are required if you want to continue to make gains. (Unless you are one of the few who are genetically gifted.)

The part where he describes feeling the muscles is a good approach but I feel he did not expound on it as well as he could have. Some illustrations would have been nice.

The nutrition part is okay but since the book was published much more is known about nutrition and hormones and exercising than was know then, so there is better information for those who are serious.

As the one and only workout book, I give it 1 star. As an additional workout book, I give it 3 stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat Unrealistic, Mar 16 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Flawless: The 10-Week Total Image Method for Transforming Your Physique (Paperback)

The reason I am giving this book at least 2 stars is because Bob Paris' intentions are definitely good. However the workout routine seems to be somewhat intense and a lot of work for a gym routine. I fear that most people who follow this workout will give up before they reach their goal. Compared to some more recent workout books, this one seems somewhat outdated.

Pat (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Flawless: The 10-Week Total Image Method for Transforming Your Physique (Paperback)

The main reasons why people do not reach thier goals from bodybuilding to just being fit lack of knowledge, lifestyle/job and motivation. This book provides a step by step workout guide tailored from novice to expert. Its praticable and anyone with a little effort can achieve results. If your a beginner or been working out for 10 years and need a change i recommend this book. Its a great price too. GOOD LUCK
