one long advertisement for endless supplementation,
By
This review is from: Ironman's Ultimate Guide to Bodybuilding Nutrition (Paperback)
This book basically is one long justification for taking lots of supplements. I've been down this road, and at some point started to ask myself -- do the guys writing this have a reason to want you to buy supplements? Of course they do. Ironman is a muscle mag. Its revenues come from advertisements from the people who sell supplements. If Ironman starts dinging the idea that supplements work, its revenues dry up and it goes out of business. Are protein bars useful as a quick meal replacement? I think so. Does taking chromium lead to six pack abs? Please. Hit the gym hard, watch what you eat, and save your money.

good pictures,
By Daniel G. Haught - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ironman's Ultimate Guide to Bodybuilding Nutrition (Paperback)
This book wasn't great. I don't like the format of this book the way it was written by several different contributors. I don't feel it has any particular flow or direction. It touches of some supplements and on the macro and micronutrients but doesn't outline any particular diets for anything. If you want to read a little about effervescent creatine, a little about protein, a little about calcium, and a little about a few other topics then I guess this book would be for you but you can find way better information in other books or online. I don't recommend this book.
