Though crippled by mediocre photography, this bound compilation of Ironman magazine articles has some pretty useful workout plans and suggestions, much of which is actually geared toward natural bodybuilders (unlike many of the workout magazines that currently cram store shelves).
Some of the “hardgainer” based information is very useful, and any book that includes an article by Stuart McRobert has got to be worth something! (check out McRobert’s Brawn and Beyond Brawn for EXCELLENT information on natural bodybuilding for typical trainees).
Overall, a very informative read. Check out especially chapters 3, 5, 7 and 8.

Briefly, this book is definitely a recap of what you see over a year of Iron Man magazines. But let’s face it…has the bench press chnaged at all in 30 years? Info like this is repetitive because of that reason. This book does a great job of going over the same material everyone has.
Does this book offer anything that other advanced levels books have not? No.
My only warning is this – if you are not the truly serious, dyed in the wool, hardcore, highly motivated, ready to die before quitting type that wants to become a massive and true competition style bodybuilder…this book will not be for you.

Basically, the book seems to be a culmination of different issues of IronMan magazine. This book gives some pretty good tip’s and a bunch of workout routines (Although some are a bit advanced). If you’ve been collecting IM mags for a long time you’ll be familiar with some of the info that is in this book.
