Sly Moves: This is the Champion, not the Contender
I've been a BIG fan of Sly Stallone, and have his dvd's. Infact i credit Sly (well Rambo actually) with inspiring me to take up bodybuilding when i was 16. This is the book i've always dreamed of, and at last after many years of waiting it's here.
In short this is a fantastic book, which when read actually feels and sounds like it has been written by Sly himself (if you've ever heard him interviewed recently) and that Sly is talking to you. This is not just some ghost written cash in, it genuinely feels authentic.
Sly has dedicated most of his life to working out (and it shows. the man is 58 and looks amazing), and the knowledge he has gained, with regards to diet,nutrition,exercises etc is amazing. What's more credible as well is that Sly has his own supplement brand called Instone (which i use), and yet this book does not hype,advertise or go out of its way to sell this brand to you (which if it were just a cash in, it would do).

This book covers every base (and includes women's training as well), and also provides a nice bio into Sly's life, which although not full biography book length, certainly isn't added as a page filler to beef the book up. The book also has added authenticity as well by showing Sly perform the excercises, and with his tips etc.

I would reccomend this to any beginner and certainly any Sly fan. The routines cover everything from beginner to Hardcore (and as an experienced Bodybuilder they are good routines), and whilst there are other books on the market and to an experienced lifter this doesn't add anything new, it is well written, easy to follow and you can tell Sly has taken pride in this.

In short Buy it!!!!!!!!!

Rocky!
Great Book! Pictures are truly helpful and moving for someone at 50 plus to be in great shape makes all of us feel that we can too!. With that said the advice was straight forward and to the point. Standard and basic workouts, nothing too far off the wall that you would have to go out and buy speical products to get results like sly. He does mention his pudding a little bit to much here and there but otherwise great read on the star's diet and daily exercises. Also highly recommend The BackSmart Fitness Plan by Dr.Adam Weiss. Great book with many exercises for the midsection and great stretches and weight training workouts.

a great read
The book is not only a great read, there are lots of interesting anecdotes and stories, but it is very informative also.
Besides the exercises shown, there is also invaluable nutrition advice for anyone wishing to improve their quality of life.

I thoroughly recommend it.
