OLD Version with MISSING CONTENT!
This wasn't at all what I had expected when I purchased the book. I was hoping for a reference guide of sorts to help me become more knowledgeable of how to build my own workouts and the benefits of doing so in each way. Since there were no previews of the content I suppose the blame falls on me. I've attached a few photos to help others out who are curious what the contents actually are so there is no confusion. The book is essentially a WORKOUT JOURNAL (Which is great if that's what you're looking for), but it is MISSING CONTENT! (Explained in depth below) I had to do some digging because I apparently I just bought book "version 1.0" according to a forum response by Michael Matthews. The daily programs list calf workouts A, B, and C at the end of each segment. However, the workouts are NOT listed in the book at all. Which is apparently updated in "version 2.0". In order to complete the workouts you have to go to http://www.muscleforlife.com/calves-workout/ to find them listed about halfway down a lengthy post. Another portion that was missed are the Ab Circuits. Same reasoning was given, that it's an earlier version of the book. (An entirely different conversation) The Ab circuits can allegedly be found at: http://www.muscleforlife.com/how-to-get-six-pack-abs/. BUT What you actually see are 9 photos of men sporting killer abs, 1 woman, and a few favorite exercises and examples, no definite list to follow for the circuits mentioned in the book. If you want the CORRECT version of the book, which I do not have yet you need to purchase "Thinner Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Female Body" .... http://www.amazon.com/Thinner-Leaner-Stronger-Building-Ultimate-ebook/dp/B0098PYV7Q/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1452751927&sr=1-4&keywords=bigger+leaner+stronger I sincerely hope this helps someone else. Maybe I should have read more intensely into the reviews. I would have saved myself the time, effort, and money in returning this as it's useless for my needs. I should also note... if you want to take it into the gym and actually use it for it's purpose... it's way to large in my opinion. Summarize: Pros: -No thinking -Keep track of your workouts -Recipes listed in the back -Workouts listed seem to have proven results -Good Organization and structure Cons: -Old Version -Missing Calf Workouts A, B, and C -Missing Ab Workouts -ZERO visual aids -You have to refer to a website to see visual content -Large and not practical for gym use -Many ads in both front and back of book -Design doesn't come off as "female friendly"
