★☆☆☆☆
The least informative exercise book I have ever read
The author is more interested in showing pictures of himself dunking than actually educating the reader. At least 25% of the book is dedicated to sharing the author'ss personal story and INCREDIBLE, REVOLUTIONARY discoveries and gains.
Every section is rife with grandiose and egotistical claims about revolutionizing physical therapy and making novel exercise discoveries. There are few physiological explanations of the exercises beyond buzzwords and inspirational quotes. The author continuously emphasizes the importance of good form but does not actually explain what good form is.
After several days of trying this program, my knee pain had worsened. Perhaps the program would have worked for me if the author had actually explained the principles of good form, instead of regularly interrupting the narrative flow with pictures of himself dunking.
The many positive reviews are evidence of a loyal following. Personally, I found this book almost unreadable. Do yourself a favor and find a better book, I would recommend "Built From Broken" by Scott Hogan.
