Review: My New Secret Weapon for Feeling Great! - Wow, this book is a breath of fresh air! It's like the author sat down with me over a cup of tea (my favorite!) and gave me the lowdown on feeling fantastic, inside and out. It's not just about dry facts; it's written with such warmth and genuine care that I felt instantly connected. I've read a lot of books on this topic, but this one is different. It's practical, yes, but it's also incredibly inspiring and motivating. The author's approach is so encouraging, and I found myself not only learning a ton but also feeling genuinely excited to make positive changes in my life. It's like having a supportive friend cheering you on every step of the way. If you're looking for a book that will empower you to take charge of your well-being, without feeling overwhelmed or judged, this is it. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to feel their best, live their best life, and maybe even discover a few new things about themselves along the way. I can't recommend it highly enough!
Review: Kindle version: Strong advanced principles work on the science of body strength and mass building. - Strong work from a knowledgeable author on the secrets of strength and mass gains for the male or female body-builder, multi-sport athlete, or one who seeks general fitness. I encourage a potential buyer to try the sample (Kindle) to review the expansive Table Of Contents, and read the first two provided chapters to enjoy the quality of writing--a true pleasure to read--and to appreciate the overall content of this book. Some might be reluctant to purchase the book for $15, but, with no advertising, no BS, just straight science-backed information, this nearly 600-page tome has the "meat" of at least 30 bodybuilding magazines--maybe more. Lovely and worthwhile to find it all in one place. I appreciate that Jim has a science background (even if this fact is over-touted online, in particular the kitschy test tubes and food-colored water on some of those videos--silly!), but there is no questioning the fact that he backs up his opinions with facts in this encyclopedic book. MOst books, including classic such as Arnold's encyclopedia, are anecdotal evidence based on the one man's experience. While Stoppani does share his experiences, it is refreshing to find actual citations to scientific studies within the text; the author appears to be a man on a mission to find scientific truths, rather than relying on anecdote or myth. Finally, I can attest that this book (other than the first fifty pages or so) is not a simple re-hashing of basic information that anyone who has hung out at a gym for three-months would know; it is an advanced program of fitness routines, specific exercises, and nutritional advice for those who already know the basics, but who want to take it to the next level. Pleased with the purchase. I appreciate the Kindle format for my Paperwhite, iPad, and MacBook, as the photos, figures, and charts are displayed well. I had thought that I wanted the paper version to allow flipping to pertinent sections, but one reviewer mentioned the cheaply thin paper (tsk tsk, Human Kinetics Publishing) and I wanted this book in pristine form for life. Some books stink in Kindle format, but this one is readable and excellently formatted by a professional publisher (Human Kinetics, Champaign, Illinois) and not just a Kindle self-published mess. The copy here is clean, as are the photos and images, and pleasing to the eyes and mind. Enjoy! Thanks, Dr. Stoppani.

*by J***Y on December 9, 2016*

Typical Dr. Stoppani awesomeness! I've been lifting for a year so I've still got tons to learn. But what I have accomplished and learned so far is based on factual information. No bro science. This book is a great resource. Tnis book is filled a bunch of different lifting routines to accomplish different goals. It is also full of great nutrition info to obtain this goals. There is also a section that shows and explains tons of different exercises. Stoppani has developed systems to gain muscle and burn fat at the same time using some amazing techniques that are based on factual data. Ya have to dedicate yourself to see the results ya want. You have to eat certain amounts of certain foods at specific times. Ya gotta use the right supplements also. In the gym, ya gotta dedicate yourself to the gym and the programs. If ya do, you'll be amazed! As previously stated, I've been lifting for a year. I stumbled into lifting after following some bad diet advice. I went from 240 to 200 in two months. My body freaked out at the sudden weight loss and started preserving fat (its fuel source) and started burning muscle. So I quit that diet, and started lifting according to Stoppani's routines. Within this year, I've gained weight and an insane amount of muscle mass. Now I'm back up to 240 but it's mostly muscle. I didn't follow his nutrition regiment as well as j should have (a bit of dirty bulking). As a result, I've got a bit of fat to burn off, so I'm currently doing his Supershred 8 to burn fat and again gain muscle. I should clarify that I'm 6'1 so 240 isn't a huge number for me. Check this book out, it's a wonderful resource at a very affordable price.
