This is what got me started back into lifting weights again after an 18 year hiatus. I think the program as written -- little food -- especially fat and crazy volumes of exercise could be too much. Of course I did the program with much more fat and traded the intervals for steady state aerobic. And as a newbie (revirginated?) enjoyed spectacular results. The motivation in the plan is great. And the whole idea of making and keeping a 12 week promise to yourself is unbelievably empowering. ( )

I thought that BFL Women was good, but this book is great. It covers a lot of points that BFW Women leaves out. ( )

I bought this when I was younger and hadn't yet learned that narcissism is a full time profession. I give it two stars because there's some good information. I give it two stars because there're resources available that provide much better and scientifically sound information on human physiology.

Even if you're not interested in the body building lifestyle try the website www.t-mag.com for far more lucid information on the topic of the human body. Perhaps not coincidentally, the website/publication was brought into being by former writers and editors of Bill Phillips' publications who grew tired of his style-over-substance approach. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Audiobook Review (ISBN 0007149670, Hardcover)

Bill Phillips is many things to the people who listen to this audiotape: personal trainer, motivational guru, nutrition consultant, personal-success coach. As he reads his bestselling book, he inspires, cajoles, instructs, and sometimes gives listeners a kick in the gluteals. The goal is for the listener to transform his or her body in 12 weeks, and in the process learn that changing one's physique can help one make other changes. The audiobook is spiced up with the comments and testimonials of those who've already done it. The effect is something like an infomercial, except that you've already bought the product, and you don't have to listen to a hired audience clapping. If you follow Phillips' program, you're your own audience. And, if you like your performance, the applause is what you feel inside. (Running time: 2 hours, 2 cassettes) --Lou Schuler
