Anabolic Primer: Ergogenic Enhancement for Hardcore Bodybuilders

A book is a book. It was exactly what it was described to be. A solid information on the fundamentals and a good reference book. However this was a used. Showing apparent wear and tear. Book was said to be NEW but it clearly was re-purposed.

Great book for beginning bodybuilders or strength athletes in general.

Great gift

i basically knew almost nothing about body building but by the time i finished this book it got me a great diet and helped me add about almost 20 pounds of muscle in like a year i would recommend this book too anyone who wants to further there knowledge in body building

You think you know everything about anabolics, well think again. This book tells you the truth about advertising and what to look for and how to understand it. It is so critical to get educated by information like the one in the book instead of reading an ad in a magazine and purchase products from the stores. I learned so much and keep using this book as a reference for what I need. It is a must have for everyone that is a bodybuilder.

This book did a very good job reviewing various types of supplementation, including steroids and related substances, fat burners ranging from powerful drugs (i.e. thyroxine) to normal supplements like the ECA stack, miscellaneous supplements, protein powders, creatine, and just about any other "supplement" you can buy with the pros and cons including legitimate scientific research about the qualities, efficacy, side effects, and overall value of the products. If you want to know what kinds of supplements to buy for say cutting fat, then there are hundreds, if not thousands, of products on the market; this book helps you figure out what is worth your time and money by explaining what the most frequently used ingredients actually do and their potential side effects. If you read through this book (or even just use if as a reference) you can make more informed decisions about what products you do or don't want and will easily save more than the cost of this book by not buying useless supplements. Towards the end of the book there is a nice section called pulling it all together which also includes important nutrition tips such as what to eat pre or post workout (very important stuff) and other nutrition tips, as well as some work out routine suggestions to get optimal hormone release and growth after workout.Overall, I think this book is an excellent buy as it is up to date, comprehensive, objective and balanced, and easy to read. It would be very useful for any experienced athletes or weight trainers/bodybuilders who want to boost their performance or growth but don't know what to use to get those results or who aren't getting the results they would like. However, if you are a beginner, you should probably try to steer away from most supplements (although the nutrition tips will still be helpful), especially steroids, until you have had a chance to see what your body is capable of doing on its own, before you start introducing unknown elements. Also, as the book states over and over again, if you are still growing (teenager or early 20's) don't be stupid enough to use steroids. The risks far outweigh the benefits, especially when you are that young and already have very high levels of anabolic hormones anyway.So, I would highly recommend this book if you know what you are doing, but need some assistance determining what kinds of supplements could boost performance or outcome; however, it's not going to help you put on 20 pounds of muscle overnight (and anything that say it will is a scam).

Nice quality with good information

I keep going back to it rather than wasting time searching the Internet for answers. Definitely good for anyone who wants to be more healthy!

Amazing book,just one bad thing one of the pages was stick to other one and get braked but for the rest 100%

Informative

This book is very helpful for all males who are either gym rats or just wanna learn how to gain way more muscle by jacking up their hormones through natural foods and certain supplements and of course the juice (Gear) aspect of it.

Excellent condition - thank you. I had been looking for this book at an affordable price and now I have it.

Perfecto
