 This book is junk August 5, 2002
2 out of 11 found this review helpful
The [money] I spent on this book was a waste. The arthur used his reputation to peddle a inferior book on training. The book may work in middle schools, but one could easily find more in depth articles online and in journals. Very little is given in terms of theory or application and more emphasis is given to rudimentary biological processes. I find this book to be a complete waste of a few hours better spent elsewhere.
 For nearly everyone.... May 10, 2001

Dr. Hatfield's book is fantastic. Although he goes into several topics at length, he then breaks them down into easier terms to understand. This book deals with a wide array of subjects, including: cycling (training periodization, not bicycling), nutritional advice, biochemistry information, and more. I highly recommend it. Even though it is at times lengthy, the overall amount of information presented within it is well worth the effort.
Great book by 'Dr Squat', with a powerlifting approach. August 24, 1998
13 out of 16 found this review helpful
Another great book by 'Dr Squat', with a powerlifting approach. If you seek an understanding of how your muscles work and grow his books are a must. You do not have to have a Ph.D. to understand his writings. This book covers all types of training, with good and bad points, with solid information on the how and why. He is very well researched and experienced. This book is a must have for bodybuilders as well as powerlifters.NBAF 'best'.
