If you are looking for the usual steroid enhanced (loaded) bodybuilder photos training schedules etc. this is not the book for you.
However if you are looking for solid research based information, some of which you may at first have difficulty accepting, especially if you are somewhat addicted to the gym, then this book is a great resource.
You will surely be surprised at how little but how hard you really need to exercise But any one prepared for the challenge will certainly maximize his gains.

Great news for seniors (in particular)
Anyone over sixty should read this book, because it shows you how to become stronger, fitter, healthier, and better able to enjoy the rest of your life. Of course, anyone under sixty could benefit from it too, but senior citizens probably have the most to gain. What the book does is introduce you to a short exercise routine which can produce remarkable improvements in strength (and other health benefits) if you train once a week. To do these exercises properly you need to go to a gym, and many readers will immediately shove the idea to one side. They can't face the thought of even 15 minutes of exercise once a week. Well, more fool you. If you want to go on losing strength and energy with every year that passes, you're entirely free to do so. On the other hand, if you want to be able to use the last years of your life to the full, buy the book. Strongly recommended.
