About This Book
Bill Phillips had been publishing bodybuilding magazines and marketing
nutritional supplements for years when he had a weird revelation at a
trade show: many of the most loyal and enthusiastic readers he had were
totally out of shape. From that uncomfortable realization came his
popular Physique Transformation Contest (top prize that first year:
Phillips's own Lamborghini), now world famous, and this book.
The three-times-a-week weightlifting program in Body for Life is
deceptively simple. If you've spent any time in the gym, you've already
done all the exercises. But Phillips includes a couple of high-intensity
sets at the end of each exercise that should compound the training
effect on each muscle group. Same goes for the cardiovascular exercise
he recommends: just 20 minutes, three times a week. But those 20 minutes
are spent jacking the intensity up and down, accomplishing more in less
time.
Phillips arranges all this into a 12-week program, along with
nutritional and motivational tips. Be warned that the nutritional advice
gets a little spacey. For example, he puts "carbohydrates" and
"vegetables" into separate categories, and recommends three daily doses
of a nutritional supplement called Myoplex, which his company
manufactures. (Fortunately, he gives tips on how to make each dose taste
different, such as by adding drops of peppermint extract.) Despite this
strangeness, Body for Life still motivates because so many others have
achieved astounding results in similar 12-week windows, and the pictures
and testimonials are here as evidence. --Lou Schuler (Amazon.com)
