4 stars (Buy This Book! (but fire the editor)) - I am 56 years old and began lifting weights for the first time in my life at age 54. That was 19 months ago. I bought this book about 18 months ago and it has truly been the "Bible" for me ever since. The substance of the book is excellent. It has detailed exercise instructions and photos (primarily dumbbells oriented, some barbells) and the recommended workout routines are great. The nuitrition advice and diet suggestions are also very helpful. I've lost 50 pounds of fat and increased my strength over 200%. I've bought 2 other workout books since getting the "Bible" and I always find myself returning to the Body Sculpting Bible for guidance in my workouts. Why not 5 stars? Because the editing stinks. The typos and layout mistakes are obvious, distracting and give an amateurish, self-published appearance to the book. Luckily the reader can usually figure out what was intended from the context, although in one workout an exercise is just plain wrong. I know so because the author maintains a web site and is very good about responding to reader questions and correcting the editorial oversights. The publiser should really consider posting .pdf errata sheet. Despite the poor editing, I recommend this book and its advice. 5 stars (Best Body Book I've Read!) - I've never written a review before, but I was so pleased with this book that I felt I should to help others who may be deciding between one workout book or another. Not only have I seen great results by strictly following this book's training & nutrition plans, but everything is written in such a straightforward and conversational style that it makes you feel like you've got a trainer right there with you, taking out all the guesswork and giving you all the necessary pointers along the way. I've read plenty of conflicting info on fat loss and muscle gain over the years, and this one just makes sense! 5 stars (Results are what matter most... A Superb Resou...
