Customer Reviews

Lee Haney remains numero uno

This quality book by a quality gentleman who just happens to be the most prolific (and least disputed) Mr. Olympia is a book that needs to be read if you're serious about a serious subject. I recommend the Lee Haney videos which can accentuate what this book displays page after page. Warning: the mesomorphic form he's been blessed with is rarely built to this level of symetry and depth, so your results won't match, just use the techniques to accentuate your own gift. Mr. Haney's cable [ch. 19, in Fort worth] show combines more about mind-, body- and spirit-strengthening in twenty-five minutes than anyone. Since he autographed my copy at the one chance I had to hear him speak, it's priceless. He remains "TotaLee Awesome"!

Great Stuff

Forget Schwarzenegger's "Encyclopedia of Modern Bobybuilding," Mike Mentzer's "Heavy Duty," or Dorian Yates's "Blood and Guts." This is THE book to have for increasing srength and health via weightlifting--simple, effective, no nonsense. And Haney's workouts for his celebrity clients--among them Evander Holyfield--provides interesting reading.

This is one of my alltime favorite bodybuildingbooks.

I've read tons of bodybuildingbooks but this is one of the best. Lee Haney is my favorite bodybuilder. This book is full of training routines for different levels. I really like that.

This book covers all aspects of bodybuilding, from beginner

It is no surprise that this book is top quality considering that it is written by the record-holding greatest bodybuilder of all time. Lee Haney takes the reader comprehensively through all the stages in the bodybuilding process, beginner through expert. He even includes a section on the training routines of such athletes like Evander Holyfield.
