advantage sneak peak into bodybuilding

WOW! Mr.Aceto hits a home run again! This book sheds light into little hidden truths. Many great gems to be discovered as you turn page to page. Truths that really get no main stream pub, such as 2b fibers (the secret to true growth) and proven information reguarding fat loss and lean tissue gains. This is a must read for any bodybuilder. Being a national level competior myself, i found this book amazing. I also really liked the quick reference check for supplemention and the easy to read format. This is my supplement shoppe's 1# selling book! Listen, If you are searching for and want true and real insight from the leader of the pack, this book is for you! I was a little shocked at some of the other reveiws I just read. Are they reading the same book? Mr. Aceto is the most credited trainer around! Heck, even Joe Weider has him writitng for his magazines. If you want mass-buy this book!

Words of Wisdom

Understanding BB Nutr and Training is a fantastic book. As far as credibility goes, I attended Chris and Laura's camp a few years ago and found their working knowledge of bodybuilding- both training and nutrition- far ahead of the pack, better than the "science" at the time (ie, people were recomending moderate protein and sky high carbs) while Chris and Laura were teaching high protein moderaate carbs and low (but not no) fat. A bit ahead of their time I'd say. In terms of burning fat, Chris recomends weight training over cardio training in long term body fat control; an idea that is only recent - yet Laura and Chris taught that in 1994! The reader of this book will discover the best way to train to build mass and nutritionally, the right approach to lose fat without losing muscle or to build mass without adding excessive body fat. And...yes, if you are building mass and you add 6 pounds of muscle and 4 pounds of fat; the net effect on the metabolism is in crease in calorie expediture, the vital factor in controlling body fat.

great!

This is a great book on both training and nutrition because its a novel approach (the question and answer format) and more importantly its informative in clearing up the things I have questions about like rep ranges, workout splits, losing fat and knowig how much of everything to eat to get bigger and leaner. I've been training for only 11 months so maybe the information is geared towards someone like me?? I thought the author sounded very credible but, then again, maybe I am too naive in this sport to know better. Geez, looking at another reviewer, I thought I may be reviewin the wrong book??

informative and clear

Sort of an interview, the book delves into traing protocol such as sets, reps, bodypart groupings and routines. All of which is good and informative, yet the strength falls in the nutrition portion where the puzzle is put together. The auhor clearly lays down a nice formula and plan on how to either build mass without turning into the pillsbury doughboy, or to strip away fat without obliterating your muscle mass. I also liked the back of the book which is similar to a dictionary, but the words all pertain to training and nutrients.
