A 1st edition book review
As you walk into your gym, the first thing you see is that handsome Brad Pitt (or Orlando Bloom or whatever) look-alike curling a barbell relentlessly and vigorously on the squat rack. Sets after sets after sets, you stand in awe as you see the grotesque veins bulge ...

Holy Cow
Never got around to reading the meat of the book, I have been too busy drooling over the pictures. : ).. From what I can tell the workout plans seem decent and the diet is typical, nothing new.. But the pictures are worth every penny paid for this book.
