The majority of the solitary workouts are isomeric holds which are understandable but not always used for the right muscle groups.



Due to a lack of load progression the program implements progressive overload via metabolic stress rather than mechanical tension.



There were bizarre cleansing cleansing methods mentioned in the book as well as activities to strengthen and stretch your...manhood. As I’m not too familiar with these subjects my only comment here is that’s it’s definitely entertaining.



The suggestion that BMI is a good way of setting the proper height to bodyweight ratio is preposterous. Bronson didn’t mention that it is only ideal for those who never worked out or carry significant muscle mass.



It was noticeable that the chapters on nutrition were co-written. The information here was solid for the most part and delivered in a more verbose manner.



On multiple occasions Bronson expressed his disdain towards steroid use (keep in mind the goal of this program is to get fit, not big and muscular), yet it boggles my mind when I look at the woman (“Storm”) who models the exercises in this book, let’s just say she hasn’t been skipping any meals...and by meals I mean test shots. This is clearly a double standard that is ignored in order to sell more copies, if you preach about the evils of steroids, don’t make a roid head your poster girl.



My final thoughts on the book; It works well as a source of entertainment and motivation, Bronson encourages you to enjoy your workouts. Unfortunately as a training system it falls short. Being rampant with misinformation or incomplete information, some exercises are not explained properly and thus feel unfinished.
