Book Reviews of Underground Bodyopus: Militant Weight Loss & Recomposition
Book Review: A valuable tool for those with discipline
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, I'm not a steroid using bodybuilder. In fact, this book doesn't really advocate using steroids either. It just gives you the facts and lets you make up your own mind.
I've used this book for about 8 weeks so far, and the results are incredible. I've been into bodybuilding for a little over ten years. I started as a teenager and have since been able to gain about 80 lbs of mostly lean muscle without any drugs. I can gain weight fairly easy for a natural guy, but going through a dieting phase would always result in more muscle loss than I wanted. There are several reasons natural bodybuilders experience this (discussed in the book) with the traditional methods like we have all been taught reading "Muscle and Fitness" magazines. Dan's approach is very thoroughly explained, which makes it far more than just a cook book. So, as long as you are patient enough to extract the information from the book (keep notes as you read, you'll need them), you will walk away with a diet that really works well.
Earlier I stated that I've done the diet for about 8 weeks so far. Actually, I've done it for about 12, but four weeks of that was based on Lyle McDonald's book "Ultimate Diet 2.0", which is an update to Body Opus with his own tweaks. That is a great book as well, but I noticed that I couldn't maintain his full body workout approach for too many weeks without overtraining and loosing a bit of muscle size, strength, and overall shape. In all fairness, Lyle does recommend that you take a break from his approach about every 6-8 weeks. What I noticed on his routine may have actually been the result of being on the Body Opus diet for several weeks prior to his. In any case, I'm not a fan of full body workouts, so I ended up sticking to Dan's approach sprinkled with some of the additional science Lyle McDonald's book adds.
One last bit of advice. Search for Lyle McDonald's Body Opus journal on Google and compare it to your notes after reading the book. Also, the first 2-3 cycles/weeks are the hardest in my opinion.
