Book Review: complete a to z programming (not just for the novice)
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for a friend of mine who is getting back into the gym after being out since high school and not liking how his body and health is becoming. Having read Waterbury's stuff at T-nation I knew I liked his sort of bravado style and solid science base. Since this book offers total lifts and my buddy is doing way too many bicep curls, I knew he would benefit from reading it. And hearing from an expert rather than me telling him what to do.
But he has yet to see this book since I am keeping it for a while. I've done Ripptoe, followed the forums, and been pretty heavy into Rosstraining, so I figured I knew what I was doing in the gym.
Also, last year I read Alan Aragon's "Girth Control: The Science of Fat Loss & Muscle Gain" so I figured I was also good to go on nutrition. This book, though, puts the nutrition all together for me with an ideal to follow, and also nails a solid weight training program: each exercise, how many reps, and a novel idea of utilizing speed to maximize muscle recruitment. I am really excited to be following it.
My "pretty good" diet is now going for 100% and I know I am going to drop that forever over 5lbs of belly fat. Chad says stick with it for 4 weeks because he knows trying to get enough protein, meal planning, etc., are a challenge but worth the payoff.
I am intrigued by the idea of using speed: the power of the mind thinking of executing a lift fast -- a heavy lift may indeed not go fast, but by thinking fast you are mobilizing big muscle recruitment. And it's true that you challenge your core with stabilization.
Before starting his program, I was basically killing myself twice a week at the gym. Good exercises but unfocused. Comparably, Waterbury's program looked too easy. I've been doing front squats, lunges, pullup and chinup variations, lots of core work, his program was just not going to be enough, I thought. So I skipped over his recommended 3 week intro exercises and got right into it. Probably a mistake since the movement: speed, is very challenging. Not to mention, if you have never done bulgarian split squats then trust me that you will be cursing his name after driving out some of these. I think my nutrition is the only thing that has saved me with all it's anti-inflammatory power and also finally getting my full 1g/lb protein requirement.
I feel like I purchased a great personal trainer for $20. This book is complete for me: from a total dietary program to a total lifting program.
Someday my friend will get to read it and I am going to get a copy for my nephews back in the midwest who are into wrestling since Waterbury even offers a program on how to effectively meet a weight-class while maintaining performance ability. Wish I had that knowledge back in the day of my high school wrestling with plastic suits and jumping jacks in the sauna.

Summary of Men's Health Huge in a Hurry: Get Bigger, Stronger, and Leaner in Record Time with the New Science of Strength Training (Men's Health (Rodale))
Men's Health Huge in a Hurry will add inches to your muscles and increase your strength, with noticeable results quickly, no matter how long you've been lifting. Author Chad Waterbury offers the most current neuromuscular science to debunk the fitness myths and conventional wisdom that may be wreaking havoc on your workouts and inhibiting your gains. Forget lifting moderate weights slowly for lots and lots of sets and reps. The best way to get huge in a hurry is to use heavy weights and lift them quickly for fewer repetitions. Waterbury's groundbreaking programs will enable you to:
-Add Mass and size. Gain as much as 16 pounds of muscle in 16 weeks--and add 1 full inch of upper arm circumference in half that time!
-Get stronger...fast! Even seasoned lifters can realize a 5 percent increase in strength in the first few weeks. And in 12 weeks, you can boost your overall strength by up to 38 percent.
-Build power and stamina. Increase your one-rep max in your core lifts by as much as 30 percent.
-Shed fat fast. Burn off up to 10 pounds of body fat, losing up to 2 pounds of fat per week.
With Men's Health Huge in a Hurry, you'll not only get bigger faster, you'll do it with less time wasted in the gym and with less post workout pain and a much lower injury risk.
