This book has the best foundation building routines in the sport. Franco's arm routine in this book is excellent, completely balanced. Great advice from one of the strongest bodybuilders in the business.

this is the best book for getting from novice to intermediate that i know of when it comes to bodybuilding without all the smoke and mirrors.

I liked the book, but I am a rookie who has little to no experience. It was a quick read that only raised more questions for me. Veteran body builders won't like it much as I have found that they already know most of the topics in the book. One thing did put me off. I found it hard to believe the statement in the section on steroids that he (Columbu) didn't know about steroids when he first won the Mr. O the first time. I shared this with a fitness news group (MFW) and several people also found it hard to believe.

This book is very interesting and helpful for the body builder seeking the best nutrition etc. Even though I own many new nutritional books, I still learned many facts on foods. This book was ahead of it's time.

IF UR TRAINING HARD, UR REALLY LIKE THE TRUE MEANING OF BODY BUILDING AND WANNA KNOW HOW NUTRITION CAN HELP U TRANSFORM UR BODY TO THE MAX THIS IS THE BOOK ALL SHOULD HAVE.
LEARN WHY MILK AND YOGURT CAN CAUSE FAT LAYERS UNDER THE SKIN, OR THE LOVE HANDLES CAN BE CAUSED BY EXCESS PROTEIN INTAKE AND A LOT MORE THAN BELIEVE ME YOU WONT FIND IN ANY OTHER BOOK ABOUT NUTRITION.
