This book worked for me. I went from 174 to 204 in just over three months. I am 6'2" and 19 years old.

I didn't really follow the diet regimen that well, only as a guideline. I followed the basic principles of the diet/nutrition timing though. I ate a lot of tuna and chicken breasts, everyday. It is important to eat alot! People have commented on how I have gained rapid weight/mass. That was music to my ears. Also, I skipped the first month of workout routine because I was already a couple months into weight training. In hindsight I should have done it but I just felt like lifting weights instead of doing stretches.

I am going to do this routine again in the fall with PLENTY of food. Some of the lifts are challenging! My bench went from getting stuck under 115lbs to 205 lbs. I can't wait to do this again!

I would recommend this book to anyone, not just ectomorphs, looking to build muscle. [...]

It's very simple: if you want to put on muscle and transform your body...........buy this book

When I was reading this book, it was like it was written just for me. I cannot say enough about this book. Once I started to apply the techniques in the book to the 'big three' my lifts went up almost overnight! My bench went from barely 200 to 250. As good as the program is, the nutritional information is the real value of the book. Anyboy can go the gym and lift some weight, it is what you do outside the gym that makes you what you are! Just buy the book, you have nothing to lose, except that bony guy you see in the mirror.

To all of the people who are in the sport nutrition and bodybuilding market, do not miss this one. Dr Berardi is one, if not the best nutritionist I've known. His theories have helped me as well as alot of my clients to perform and to reach their objectives. The most important of all, Dr Berardi tought me how to have very nutritional habits. Now, I don't only follow a diet, I have good nutritionnal habit. Another great book!!

Great read and great gains. 10 pounds of lean mass in two in a half weeks. With the help of this book you can achieve it too.

This book is great for anyone who has trouble gaining weight. In three weeks following the routine in this book I gained an amazing 13 pounds of lean mass. Also for anyone who is a newby to bodybuilding, the book is easy to follow.

Unlock the secrets to bodybuilding with the help of Dr. Berardi and see results like you never have. A must read!!!!

I found this to be a great book. The nutritional chapters were great, and I think would be really useful for all those guys out there who don't eat like they should to be able to build muscle. I also found that the workout program chapters were really good as well. I really enjoyed the phase 1 chapter and learning where some of the weaknesses and imblances I have are. It was great to know this and then to be able to learn how to fix these problems.

I recommend this to all those who lift weights, because I think there is a lot of info in there that would be beneficial to anyone who lifts weights.

Of all of the workout books I have read, this is one of the best yet. The dedication to nutrition is second to none and incredibly valuable even if you are not a "hardgainer".

The detailed plans for meals and workouts make this a book for anyone who has not been able to gain size in the past.

Follow the plan, work hard at it and you'll see the results.

S2B is a great book and it is very easy to understand. I am completing a b.sc in kinesiology and still learned from this book. The basic principles are there, it is explained so everyone can understand, even if you've never been lifting before. There are great practical information that everyone can put to use. I especially liked the "corrective phase" of the program...very useful.
