Summary: If you are out of shape or a beginner it will work!
Comment: I am 35 and 6'2" tall. I started the plan on November 1st and am now about 6 weeks into the plan. I have been away from the work out scene for many years and have a job that keeps me at a desk. Needless to say I was out of shape. I started about 35 to 40 pounds overweight. So far I have lost 20 pounds and 2 inches off my waist. My max bench press has increased by 40 pounds and I am really starting to feel like I did in my 20's.
As for the work out program, it is very straight forward and easy to follow. If you are out of shape and follow the book to the letter the first two weeks are tough. After that your body starts to adapt and you will be able to breath again. There is no ground breaking work on the workout program just the basics and they have exercises for home or at a gym. They are all proven exercises so they will work.
The diet plan borrows from several different diets to form one. The Adkins, Zone and 'The Med' respectively. Once you formulate the amount of each macronutrient you can have per day, do yourself a favor, do not follow the weekly food planner and grocery list in the book. This is only a guideline and a pricey one at that. Moreover, you should watch the grams of each macronutrient daily and make your own plan. Just try to get close to the suggested amounts.
There were a few things I did not care for. The macho get the girl [bull] Mens Health is know for for one. Also the constant slam on aerobic exercise throuhout the book. I have added treadmill and bike work to my workouts on the days I don't lift and it has helped my 'cardio' system tremendously. I have limited the activity to less than an hour per session however. If you are like me you are looking for total fitness not just weight room fitness.
Overall, it is a good book and I am glad I made the commitment to the program. I have recently ordered another book by Lou Schuller 'The Hard Body Work Out Plan'. I want to see how the two compare and take the best of both worlds to formulate a new workout after this plan is over. What I will say is if you are an intermediate or advanced athlete this book probably will not help you as I can myself outgrowing the workouts as I get into better shape and if you are an advanced athelete you probably already have a good diet plan set for youself any way. If you are out of shape or a beginner this plan can be a valuable asset if you dedicate yourself to it.
Good Health,
Markus

Summary: Results met expectations
Comment: This plan works. I don't believe I've ever eaten right in my life until following the meal plan in this book. I never thought I had the time to eat five times a day, nor did I believe that I had the time to exercise. I bought a weight bench and a few hundred pounds of weights and followed the home version (the book also gives a gym version) of the workout to the best of my ability. Some exercises I could not do well in the home gym so I looked at alternative exercises which I could do. The bottom line is that I did what the book said for 9 -10 weeks and have gone from 191 pounds down to 168, I have lost inches in my waist and gained muscle that I haven't had in years. Nine weeks didn't make me look like Mr Olympia but it did give me enough encouragement to continue on. I am sticking with the meal plan and am currently looking for another workout plan.

Summary: A new workout bible!
Comment: A very good book for the beginner and the advanced alike. The book dispells many of the myths about exercise and weight training. It also sheds some excellent light on sports nutrition such as when to eat and what to eat. Sections about cholestrol were very informative and benefitted me personally. The workout plans are superb and really demand a lot out of you. The only drawback, I thought, the book had was the over-emphasys the authors placed on testosterone as if it were the main objective of the book. Otherwise, this book is a must read for every man who wants to get in shape.
