I went from 220 lbs. to 130 in 4 months thanks to this book and a balanced diet. I live in a little apartment and it told me how to use, basically nothing, to turn my room into a gym. With a bed, some stairs, a bar stool, some soup cans, and a gym bag I was able to cut so much weight I had to buy an entirely new wardobe because I can’t fit ANYTHING I use to wear. If you want to lose weight, get this book. It really IS a Bible!

Schuler has turned out a fair rudimentary book for the home gym user. It is a good “starter” book for kids and beginners.

This book, though quite comprehensive, disappointed me in one thing – and that is that it completely ignores supplements! It covers a lot of things at just the right level for a home-work out but surely any writer who goes to the depth of including example workouts even for different items of equipment you might have at your home, and workouts from beginner to Advanced level, should clearly write something about supplements, at least the world wide basic standard of protein! The book does not even mention that protein is the main supplement which enables the body to build muscle!
In having no discussion of supplements and how they work, then how can a person achieve advanced level workouts? This is the greatest defect of this book.
A bit more structure would have helped too – I actually had to use highlighter pen and bookmarkers to mark out some very crucial do’s and don’ts of weight training, because they were all over the place in the book. Had I not done this it would have been very difficult for me to find some important facts which I wanted to remind myself when planning my workouts.
However, in saying all this, it does not mean that this book is totally worthless.
