Summary: Great advice
Comment: This is an excellent book wheather you are just starting to lift or have been doing it for years. I noticed immediate gains (literally the next day) in my chest size from doing the 20 rep breathing squats, and I was also able to improve on any muscle group I chose using McCallum's advice. If you want to build real size and strength, and you're not afraid of hard work, this book is a must.

Rating: 5
Summary: One of three required books for the serious strength athlete
Comment: This is the first book that any strength athlete or bodybuilder should buy. McCallum has an entertaining writing style, gives the reader exactly what he needs and provides a number of workout regimens so that anybody can be successful at building muscle. McCallum's ideas predate the current steroid era that has made bodybuilding distasteful and dirty. The concepts in this book work and require nothing more than hard work and a good diet. BTW, the other two books are "Dinosaur Training" by Brooks Kubik and "Super Squats" by Randall Strossen. Follow the advice in these books and you can't help but get big and strong!

Rating: 3
Summary: Entertaining But Not as Helpful As I Hope
Comment: Many of the stories are funny. The sections on mental focus and the effectiveness of breathing squats are helpful but the book doesn't have much credibility. I imagine some if not most of the stories of men gaining 10 to 20 pounds/month are fictitional. John's daughter's boyfriend supposedly gained 38 pounds in 3 months without increasing his already high level of calories, and while doing breathing squats of 25 reps with less than bodyweight.

On the other hand, John often recommends readers work up to squats with 300- 500 pounds, consume 1.5 to 2 grams of protein/lb of bodyweight, and drink ½ to 1 gallon of milk a day.

There's no mention of drugs, prevention of injuries, and genetics (except to say that most top physique measurements are exaggerated). So far no Amazon reviewers have claimed to gain 20+ pounds from the book. John said he bulked up to 300 lbs at 6' and his uncle up to 250lbs but he didn't give their bodyfat percentages. Worth borrowing from the library or a friend but not buying.
