      Take the title of this book with a grain of salt. There is quite a bit of "I'm ready to pump you up!" rhetoric in the beginning, but when he actually gets down to the advice he makes cogent points. You won't be shredding like a demi-god in a couple of months (it takes a few years in my experience), but these strategies are quite consistent with what I know to work and be true.
