Summary: Good info for a runner w/ an injury
Comment: I couldn't handle it when I had to stop running long distance due to an injury, so I got this book to get into training. I am so glad I did. First of all, I always felt like anyone who couldn't run as far as I could wasnt as healthy. The information this book provides and motivation to strengthen my body has completely changed this view. It has turned an injury from a depressing situation into an opportunity! Secondly, I always hit some weights a few times a week and thought the programs would be super easy. Not so much! I am so sore, but in a good way, not an injured way. I couldn't be happier. Thirdly, I think I've always been a bit of an under-eater, this book really made great sense.
Its a delightful challenge and an easy read.
Thanks!

Summary: Science over myths
Comment: I bought this book for my wife after she began seeking out further information on lifting weights. Like many women, she had been lifting weights for a while, but was still caught up in the "bulking" myth, wasting her time with high reps of feather-weight dumbbells for fear of "bulking up." This book has become a great resource for her in increasing her effectiveness in the gym.
This book does a nice job of debunking popular myths and getting its basic points across. To get results you need to lift heavy weights in compound exercises, eat an adequate amount of carbs and protein, and stop jumping on the scale to measure your progress. Weightlifting is the top fat-burning activity, and revs your metabolism to keep reaping the benefits throughout the day. The treadmill won't get you the same results. These points are the main focus of this book, and after almost 15 years of weight training, I couldn't agree more.
I also chose this book because of the workout programs created by Alwyn Cosgrove. They mirror Cosgrove's Unulating Periodization techniques, which I have found to be very effective. You may need to do more research on your own to update and vary these workouts over time, but the basic framework is solid in its philosophy and science.
I would recommend this book for any healthy woman looking to get real results in transforming their physique. The myths that women are too fragile to lift heavy or will develop huge manly muscles are ridiculous. With the guidelines and techniques available in this book, most women will have the tools to make drastic changes. It still requires hard work and self-discipline, but will help maximize your results.

Summary: Caution though
Comment: I read a book like this and injured my knee. That's quite a learning about my body. I am petite and was working out for a couple of years so I thought I could relly lift "serious" weights and I had learnt tecnhiques enough... to follow the book on my own, I was feeling great since I got results but ended up injuring my knees.......
Now I can appreciate the work of good personal trainers.

Summary: Lifting like a man will do amazing things for your body
Comment: Using these workouts, I've added more strength in the last five months than my last five years. NROLW got me out of a workout rut and made workouts FUN again. If you've never done any barbell training, the workouts will push you out of your comfort zone and into the squat rack. In the beginning, learning to squat and deadlift was intimidating, but I quickly got over it and had a real sense of accomplishment with every workout.
Lifting like a man has lifted my butt plus helped my posture, increased flexibility and added strength without bulk. So many benefits for an investment of 3 or 4 hours a week. Thank you Alwyn, Lou and Cassandra for opening to eyes to heavy lifting. I am thrilled with the results! Highly recommended.
