The New Rules of Lifting: Six Basic Moves for Maximum Muscle
Product Description
Ten unique programs for fat loss, muscle gain, and strength improvement for beginners and elite lifters.
Want to get more out of your workout and spend less time in the gym? Many guys devote so many hours to lifting weight yet end up with so little to show for it. In many cases, the problem is simple: They aren’t doing exercises based on the movements their bodies were designed to do. Six basic movements—the squat, deadlift, lunge, push, pull, and twist—use all of the body’s major muscles. And, more important, they use those muscles in coordinated action, the way they were designed to work.

First of all post a shirtless pic of the author, who might not be in shape. Second simply define full rest superset in one sentance! The Author seems to know he goofed and then goes on this scatterbrained tirade about people not having basic information. lol Quit the bs dude and simply define your terms!! I still can’t make out from your scatterbrained english (no not having basic subject verb predicate sentances does not make you seem ‘in the know). Who has gotten ripped from this plan? Has the author? Or is this another pseudo science money making essay??

This book has very little useful information in it. It proposes a bunch of exercises based on “natural” everyday movements and discourages focused single muscle exercises or anything involving sitting (i.e. rowing). NO SCIENCE nor does the author quote any studies to support his exercises.
Author is not an expert nor a real body builder. Co-author might be but is pretty uninvolved in writing the book.
Big print. Lots of words. Nothing useful to a beginner or a pro.

I was expecting this to be an easy read and easy to follow workout program,but this was not the case.They gave you workouts telling you to do 2or3 or4 times a week and this was misleading. Im more advanced and wasent sure what to do. I would stay away from this book.

Page 13. of the book, “when I conceived this book I had a brilliant premise: I would take every excersive in the gym and look at it in terms of possible role in human movemement.” Then later goes on on to list the moves they think are important, even debating what should be included. There is no scientific method to this, only apparently two individuals conceiving an idea for a book. I’m sure there strength books are good, but this a “me too” book on core performance.

I bought this book based on the reviews here. The theory part of the book is good, and the author will make you enjoy reading the book no doubt (2 stars for him). But the workouts are not that good.. totally different person who wrote the workouts. My example is workout B for Fat loss I. You begin with deadlifts (which are good), and you end up with another Romanian deadlift which is basically a half deadlift. And I was wondering, have we run out of workouts already? Or do I have to split the weights on the 2 workouts to make it to the end? Another weird workout is the Bulgarian Split Squat where you have one foot up the bench behind you and leaning forward and down on the other foot. Now what happens if you lost balance? fall on your face most probably.. I never seen anyone in the Gym doing that awkward workout! Not done yet, in the same workout there is mixed grip lat pulldown.. with overhand it is ok and natural, but underhand doing lateral pulldown? weird .. Not done yet, in the same workout there is the swiss ball lateral roll where you hold a broom stick and lay down on a ball. well, i never seen a broom stick at the gym and they dont have one, and i even dont have one at home since i use a vaccum machine. In my opinion, it is waste of money if you are looking for good workouts, but it is a good book if you want to read about fitness theories.
