Book Reviews of Coaches' Guide to Performance-Enhancing Supplements
Book Review: This book is legit!
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who has trained and used supplements for many years knows that when you see a "supplement guide" you have to wonder about its credibility. Most "supplement guides" are nothing more than supplement ads disguised in book or magazine form. They bash all supplements except the ones they make and sell.
This book is the real deal. The author bases all of his recommendations off of legitimate research, and yes it is very well referenced. He explains thoroughly the claims made and what the research says about the substance under test conditions. He also makes recommendations for different types of athletes not just bodybuilders. He covers many of the popular supplements and also vitamins and minerals. He covers anabolic steroids and recreational drugs as well.
If I had to find any fault with this book it would be the fact that its 2 years old. There are many new trendy supplements out now that need to be reviewed. Please Mr. Ratamess its time for the 2nd edition. Otherwise this book is a really good reference.
