Below is Coach Dos’s response to a critical review of his book and the review itself from Coach Dos’s blog: http://coachdos.blogspot.com/. I found Coach Dos’s response paltry at beast and very dissatisfying.

I purchased the book and read it cover to cover. While in the Military I worked out exclusively and extensively in Gyms and would have loved the programs and exercises provided in the book. However, now that I am a civilian and work out at home (gym memberships are expensive) I have a hard time using the programs and exercises in the book to achieve my fitness goals. I have had to figure out my own adaptations and after working out with the book for over 6 months have not seen the gains I expected. I only paid $14 dollars for the book, so I am not completely dissatisfied. However, I think Coach Dos should have put more effort into his response to the other critical review and help us home gym rats design a program without a power rack.

“The Amazon.com reviews of my book have been amazing, the feedback is awesome. I often read reviews where people say that some info was missing etc. yet if you read the entire book, this info can usually be found in there somewhere. This is the first time I have ever seen someone review my book WITHOUT ever reading it. I liken this to people who say they hate the Atkins diet or the Ornish diet but have never actually read the books.

The funny thing is that if you read the review, it’s actually pretty positive. The fact that your home gym set-up makes it difficult/impossible to perform my workouts warrants a 2-star rating? Sigh…….

I try not to review items that I do not actually own, however I have done a lot of research on the book (including forum chats with the author and others on the program) and it became clear that this workout, while very effective, is very hard to do in a home gym. I was very close to buying the book. People who use this program seem to rave about it, but at the same time the program itself prevents more people from doing the program. I work out in a home gym, but I do not have one of the key pieces of equipment that is pretty essential to the program – a power rack. This is a simple, but very large piece of equipment that I do not have room for in my home gym. After spending close to $2,000 on home gym equipement (and getting very good results with that equipment) I am not willing to a) buy a gym membership, or b) replace the equipment that I am already getting good results with. This is a bit of a shame because I really like the principals and ideas that the book is founded on, as well as the ability to design your own program. Perhaps one day when I move into a bigger house and have room for a power rack and stacks of free weights, I will give this workout a shot. That being said right now this workout is not for me, but for those who have access to all of the equipment (and space… you also need higher ceilings! My basement ceiling is a bit low for some of the exercises too) you will have better luck with the program.

The awesome thing is that there are a bunch of GREAT reader follow-up comments to this review. Thanks again to all of my supporters!”

Excellent material. The cutting edge in functional stability exercises. Recommended for all who believe that something worth doing is worth doing right!

I read the book and enjoyed the radical training concept of push and pull. The book has a variety of exercise programs for a total body workout to be fit, increase strength or build more muscles. I love the workout program if you are traveling and away from a gym. This book includes a broad diet program to feed those muscles and start seeing results from the intensive workouts. I give the book thumbs up!

I really liked reading through Power training by Robert dos Remedios. I haven’t quite finished the book yet, but it is a very informative read and has helped me in my workouts. It has a full section devoted just to exercises and how to do them. I give this book 10/10
