The New Rules of Lifting for Women was good but not outstanding. The fitness information was sound and the workouts are exactly what I was looking for, however, the nutrition information is a load of crap and he doesn't give any information on maintenance lifting beyond the 6 - 9 month program he outlines. It is almost as if he doesn't expect anyone to actually follow through to the end. ( )

A great book for any woman wanting to be stronger AND look better. Today's "fitness" magazines tout starvation diets and silly fitness routines that only result in skinny-fat, unhappy, hungry women. It's about time someone came out with a book telling women to eat MORE and to lift heavier weights.

The workouts in this book are very straight forward, effective, and adaptable for many skill levels. I especially liked that they have pictures of all the movements, since I am not always sure if I am doing a lift correctly.

A must read for any woman interested in getting/staying in shape. ( )
