Book Reviews of Lean and Hard: The Body You've Always Wanted in Just 24 Workouts
Book Review: Almost too good to be true
Summary: 5 Stars
When you read the beginning of this book, you may not believe what he is saying. "Lose six pounds of fat and gain 8 pounds of muscle in six weeks." I am a certified trainer, and I have seen almost every system there is. I was skeptical. I also know that the currently held paradigm says that you either lose fat or put on muscle, and they don't happen at the same time.
But Shilstone delivers. I've been through two six week cycles and can say that this works. I did lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. People I haven't seen in several months are amazed at how my body changed.
In almost every resistance exercise, I have gained 25 percent more strength in the last five months. But a large amount of this strength increase happened in the last three months when I started on Shilstone's program.
I am now getting others to do this program. (Of course this may make me lose a competitive edge by giving away the secret.) And they are all having the same results. Losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time.
Shilstone backs everything up with scientific explanations that make sense. He also backs everything up with his experience training many famous athletes. And maybe the most compelling thing are the many average people studied who had the fantastic results. Yes, regular people get these results, too.
This book is the real deal.
