Better Than Steroids

I am a NATURAL bodybuilder. I've been on Dr. Mauro DiPasquale's "Anabolic Diet" for a while now with amazing results. DiPasquale's book is the basis of my diet, while "Big Beyond Belief" aka "Serious Growth III" or "Bulgarian Burst" is the basis of my weight training program. With these two winning combination, I've been building muscles and losing fat at the same time.The reason I'm including the above-mentioned programs in this review is because "Better Than Steroids" (BTS) outlines some of the principles that I have been using with great success. For instance, BTS thoroughly covers the body's powerful hormone - insulin. This hormone can literally make one's physique into a Herculean-like sculpture...or a fat slob like Michael Moore(sorry, I have no respect for liberals). Moreover, I am pleased that my post-workout meal has been on the money all along, unbeknownst to me that I've been doing the right thing until this book confirmed so. (I'm not going to reveal what it is:) Just buy the book.) I just have to adjust my diet and include a pre-workout meal, which is also described in the book.What I love about BTS is that it has several algorithms - lose fat / maintain muscle, lose fat / increase muscle and increase muscle / maintain fat. The doctor is kind enough to provide a detailed 12-week program of each algorithm, which tells the bodybuilder what to eat, the sort of exercise to perform and the type of cardio required.As far as dieting is concerned, there are weeks that the bodybuilder will implement a keto run diet, which is very identical to Dipasquale's "Anabolic Diet." But what I love about BTS is that there are several other diets used to stimulate muscle growth and burn the fat. Those diets are: isocaloric; zigzag high, medium and low; modified carb high; modified carb low; keto run and free. These different diets are strategically periodized and built into the 12-week programs; the bodybuilder will certainly do something different every week and not just stick with one type of diet day in and day out. This is a HUGE plus in terms of keeping motivation high and keeping the body from reaching a plateau.Get this book now! Dr. Willey knows his stuff.

Better than Steroids is a great book for anyone interested in bodybuilding. I have been training for 3 years now and I thought I knew what I was doing until I read this book. He keeps everything as simple as possible while giving you exact formulas for building muscle. I have only been training according to his book for a month now and have already lost 8 lbs of fat and gained 8 lbs of muscle and this is only the beginning. I am still learning and there are several more techniques in the book I haven't even tried.At first, I was optimistic of some of Dr. Willey's ideas and decided to get a second opinion from a former semi-professional body builder with a degree in nutrition. He verified everything in the book that we discussed. Dr. Willey keeps the reading to the point and really does teach you how to use food as a drug. I have read several books on nutrition but they are so full of technical details that it becomes hard to understand. Dr. Willey keeps the reading to the point and I highly recommend this book.

This book has a lot of good information, eating plans, supplementation advice, gym-advice, etc. It's a pretty quick read and can be easily used as further reference material.The only thing that annoyed me about the book is the overly apparent need for editing. This is most noticeable in the frequent misspellings. A quick example is found in the appendix on supplements. There is a section of this chapter titled "Pysillium", this paragraph then starts, "Psyillium is a fiber found in. . .". The correct spelling is Psyllium.It drives me a little bit crazy to read a published work that I feel has simple, yet glaring errors. Beyond that I would highly recommend it. It held my attention well and has a lot to offer to those who want to improve their physique.

This book is everything I have been looking for in a body building reference & the only one worth keeping in a gym bag.I have trained with weights for 20 years & done tons of programs, used every supplement & tried ever diet I thought had value.I wondered about this book because it was priced very high in my opinion for a 180 page book but after getting it & going through it I agree with many reviews in that it is very precise to the point proven methods for any training goal you would have from losing weight to adding muscle with all the information you need to plan your diet post work out meals & achieve proper nutrient & supplement modification with proper nutrient timing for feed efficiency.Based on my experience I have to say I agree with mostly all of these methods have a place based on goal & training phase.This is a must for any beginner because the hardest thing that most people fail to learn is proper diet & how to make your body work for you.It is true that I have come across all of this information for free all over the Internet.I'd also say that usually never get a total picture of everything I need to work out for a training phase all together in simple condensed information.I think the reason is that something that can be as simple as proper nutrition is actually some how a guarded secret that many successful athletes have. They sell supplements & some take steroids but nothing will ever work if you don't have the proper building blocks.I value this the most because I happen to agree with most of it from experience & I don't need to go through tons of research every time I work out a new program anymore, I'd rather be able to thumb quickly to what I wanna do & plan the entire phase from start to end.If your learning & hungry for knowledge and want to dive deep into tons of research do it, that's how you'll learn what works for you but do yourself a favor & pick this book up & then do research on the methods & techniques in this book until you understand it all & then use it as an quick reference when you discover it has it all.And even better of your just sick of trying every new thing or just want something easy to follow without long winded reasons this is definitely the book for you.People will also quickly dismiss the simplest & best answer to problems in life.This has always baffled me but people just want to make things hard or seem tricky.Believe me even at the Mr. Olympia with all the steroids in the world the winner will have a man behind the behind the certain who is above all else a master at nutritional manipulation.This book is not an amazing new way to a miracle body, it's just tells you how to make your body do what you want based on science & in the end the only way you'll ever achieve long term health is understanding your body or at least following the simple instructions from someone else who does like Dr. Warren Willey.

This book is excellent. I have purchased many books on nutrition and food with regards to exercising and building muscle. This book is simple and easy to read and for the first time I actually understand how to work out my BMI!He is informative and non-judgemental throughout the book - if you are looking for something that will help you build muscle via eating well, then I strongly recommend this book. Excellent value

Bought this book as it was recommended to me by a very dear friend. He used this book to get himself into the most amazing peak physical condition, and used it to help make a program for me that awarded me a 30 lb weight loss and muscle gain combine.For a woman who has never really been in shape, and was always considered the "chubby one" this was a huge gain for me. This book teaches you that weight loss and muscle building is very scientific. There's a direct formula for each person. This is a book that helps you figure out how your body responds to exercise and food, and then helps you tailor workouts and food so that you get the results you've been wanting. Highly recommend! Highly!
