Scrawny to Brawny

Christian

I read the first edition. This is a good reference book on fitness for skinny people, and covers lifting, cardio and nutrition. The basic message is: if you want to add some muscle, * eat a lot * eat frequently * lift heavy weights using the large muscle groups * build cardio vascular health with short, intense cardio sessions (HIIT) * minimize other calorie burning activity The first edition needs an edit to correct mistakes in the text and sample workout plans, and could also use some help presenting the material in more user-friendly ways. Keep a pencil handy while reading to make useful edits and notes. The tone overall is a bit glib, and the authors spend too much time on cute fluff. This stuff feels like an attempt to offset their good discussions of science on fitness and nutrition, for fear of sewing too brainy. I've marked up my copy heavily, and return to it frequently as a reference. I've been happy with my fitness progress over the past 6 years finder I adopted this program.
