Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating :  - From Scrawny to Fat?
Even though this book is written especially for those who find it difficult to gain muscle from their workout plans, it doesn't effectively address the main underlying problem for such individuals. And that problem most often lies in their workout plans, not in their diets. But the authors would have you believe that as long as do the same old conventional, low-intensity weight-lifting exercises that everyone has been doing for years, and then increasing your daily calorie intake to at least 4000 calories a day, your problem is pretty much solved, and you will go from scrawny to brawny. But actually, you're more likely to go from scrawny to fat that way, because consuming a lot more calories does not compensate for an ineffective workout plan. If you do gain weight from such a program, all it will do is put on more fat, not muscle.
The fact is this: in order to build maximum muscle in minimum time, you need a workout plan that enables you to achieve "maximum intensity" for every weight-lifting exercise that you do. And to accomplish that, you need to have the right definition for intensity to begin with, which this book doesn't provide. Obviously, without that definition for intensity, you won't know which strategies work best to maximize the intensity of any exercise that you do. So it's not surprsing that the exercises in this book will actually prevent you from achieving maximum intensity, since they are not based upon the right definition for intensity to begin with. And if you don't generate maximum intensity, you will not obtain maximum results in minimum time, regardless of how many caloroes you consume; it's that simple. Unfortunately, no published book that I know of has ever revealed the right definition for intensity as it relates to strength-training; and that has always been the missing piece of the puzzle that has prevented so many people form building maximum muscle in minimum time.
The only book that I know of that provides you with the right definition for intensity (as it relates to strength-training) is a book that I wrote. And when I applied that definition for intensity to my workouts, that's when I really started putting on muscle at a pace that I could never achieve with conventional workout plans. But unfortunately, I've never had that book published.
So currently, the only workout plan that I know of that enables you to achieve maximum intensity, and build maximum muscle in minimum time, is that found in John Little's book, "Max Contraction Training".If you apply the principles in that book and eat just 2,400-2,600 calories per day (or even less), you will get muscle growth that is simply beyond the reach of conventional workout plans, such as the one found in this book, "Scrawny to Brawny".
