Book Reviews of Power to the People! : Russian Strength Training Secrets for Every American
Book Review: This may be the book for you
Summary: 5 Stars
So you went to the "Health Club" signed up and the "instructor" put you through your paces. Cardio on the bike and a trip around the nautilus circuit. Maybe a spell in the suana afterwards, or perhaps you tested your tolerance for breathing chlorine gas in the communal whirlpool.
You felt great at first, but after about six to eight weeks the whole experience felt toxic and drove you back to your couch with the remote and some serious comfort/junk food.
If that's you, this may be your book. A new way to look at strength training and improving the quality of life. Not a book for those wanting to get huge (bodybuilders) or seriously buff.
If you want to be stronger, enjoy life more, and do it with minimal expense in dollars and time this book is worth a look. At age 44 my first cycle added an inch to my upper arms and I only gained eight pounds with careful dieting (weighing every gram). Normally most experts will tell you twenty pounds of muscle for an inch on your bicep measurements. That means I lost twelve pounds of fat on average.
If you are happy with your bodybuilding routine or other conventional strength training, it is still an interesting read. A bit pricey, but I will buy more books by this outside the box thinker.
