5 stars (The Best Steroid Book For Your Money) - I have read other steroid books that cost over twice as much as The Steroid Bible and they simply do not stand up to the quality of information found in The Steroid Bible . There is a reason this book has been around for a long time and continues to sell well. It contains high quality, comprehensive information on steroid use, development, and muscle growth. 5 stars (A Must Read!) - The Steroid Bible explained the reality behind steroid use and sport long before the current baseball steroid scandal. Athletes who compete at the highest level are encouraged by society at large to break records and make a lot of money. People don't want to see mediocre play. Society rewards athletes for great athletic performance even when it is widely know what many athletes do to achieve it. The Steroid Bible explains how society can allow athletes to compete at the highest level in a safer manner. 1 stars (Advise you to not spend your money on this book) - This book is a compilation of stuff that is readily available on the net. There is not any new, groundbreaking or special advice contained within.I feel that anyone with internet access could have written this book within just a few days. ...

5 stars (Excellent Overall) - Provides basic understanding of exercise physiology and diet. Provides basic understanding of muscles and their functions. Provides the nuts and bolts of dos and donts with respect to form, routines ( when to and how to change routines ). One of the only few books out there which would tell you what exercise equipment to use and what to expect from that equipment. Also one of the only books which has divided ALL exercises ( dumbell, free weights and cable ) into beginner , intermmediate and advance level. If you are new to weight training this is a must have and probably the first one to have. My only complain is that the author has strongly discouraged the use of SMITH MACHINE. I understand the rational but if you are like me i.e. exercising at home without the spotter and do not want to get injured then you got to have this machine. After doing weight training for one and a half year my last comment about the ultimate machine "the dream machine" is Get a SMITH MACHINE with Free weight capability and integrated cable system. Get a cheao 40 lbs each two adjustable dumbells from Walmart and you are set to be at the next level. Good Luck! 3 stars (Pretty good for men thinking about adding muscle and willing to pay the price) - This is a traditional, intro pumping iron book for men. The only slight twist is, as the title says, it's for men looking to workout at home, not the club. My wife and I have both read it and this is our combined feedback ("See all my reviews" for additional feedback). Our 3 star rating is actually an average. I give it 3.5 and she gives it 2.5. To be blunt, in our oppinion the book is targetted at men with little or no weightlifting experience and are interested in doing a "body make-over" to become the chick-magnet they always knew they could be. To us, it's not a health and fitness book but an intro pumping iron book. If you are self-motivated, respond well to setting a goal and working hard to achieve...

5 stars (An awesome book) - The best damn easiest book to follow that gets you all the results you need. I was coming out of high school football, and wasn't talented enough to play in the division 1 college i went to, but i did wanna keep lifting. I did the medium frequency weightlifting program which was once a day, 6 days a week. It was absolutely awesome, and honestly, i only stayed on it for a six week phase of the recommended 18 weeks. You MUST, as is stressed in the book, follow the recommendations of the book as closely as possible but you will most definitely get results. In six weeks i went from weighing 220 to weighing 242 with a bodyfat % that went from 22 to 19, which basically means i gained OVER 20 POUNDS OF MUSCLE in six weeks!!! It doesn't take a genius to know that's awesome. Bench press went up from 295 1 rep max to 365, Squat went from 365 4 rep max to 505, and i was curling a 45 and a 25 on each side in standing easy curl bar like if it was nothing. Needless to say i was incredibly impressed. This book is definitely not for unseasoned weightlifters, or atleast not for ones who don't have someone to stress the importance of sticking to the guidelines. Also, my power clean went up from 245 one rep max to 275 and i didn't do a single power clean during the six week phase. The most surprising thing is that each workout took less than an hour to complete with a partner and in some occassions it was under 45 minutes. It may not make sense now, but read the book. Take it with you to the john, and you'll get ass numbness from reading on for too long. It really grabs you. Lots of the stuff is stuff that most people know, but nonetheless it's good to read it all together in a coherent way that translates into MORE MUSCLE, more muscle, and more muscle. The book is called big beyond belief, but it's also awesome for Strength gains. I've never done any drugs...just protein powders and i had awesome results. 1 stars (Big Beyond Bull) - I star...

3 stars (Routina - Another Pro-Drug book from a defense law firm) - Don't buy this book thinking it will change your mind. It's kind of an advocates brief from a defense law firm. No prosecutors brief however. Basically this book is similar to many pro-drug books on the market, parading a serious of horribles where prosecutors equated steroids with crack and some innocent bodybuilder got sent to the slammer. Of course, the same thing sometimes happens with legitimate businessmen who send money overseas without reporting it to the Treasury Dept and get slammed for 'money laundering' Unfair for sure. (BTW, I have nothing against legalizing drugs, even hard drugs, if users want them, and assuming minors and nuts can't use them). I have not read this book, but they all tend to be cut from the same cloth. One book I did read and highly recommend is: A Brief History of Cocaine by Steven B. Karch, M.D. Truly outstanding. Recommend this review if it helped you. Be honest. 5 stars (You must own this book) - If you are interested in steroids at all, especially if you use steroids you should buy this book. It is money well spent. 5 stars (What you need to know about hipocrisy in America) - If you are, or are thinking of, using anabolics (including prohormones soon), you need to read this book. The more you read, the more angry you become at the persecution of responsible adults, whose only vice seems to be a desire to improve their physique. This book gives you a list of steroid related laws for all 50 states as well as a lot of "horror stories" about average citizens caught up in the "anti-steroid mania" of some rural law enforcement agencies. IE, the guy who has smaller than a personal amount of some oral steroid who is suddenly seen as a BIG DEALER by Bubba Podunk deputy sheriff. Then spends countless dollars and loses almost everything trying to convince some small town judge that he is not the same as some Columbian Cartel Drug Lord (yes, some are really that ...
