Summary: Great Book
Comment: I have known of Stuart Mcroberts programs for some years, but always made okay progress with other programs, I only turned to his books as i now have less time to train and a much more hectic life outsidet he gym. This book Beyond Brawn'' is the most complete and well written Book i have Read on weight training.Detailing everything you need to know from large matters of training to the smallest yet vital information that might be otherwise overlooked . It gives u sample programs to follow but more importantly it allows you to understand all aspects of weight training, cause and effect, so you can go about developing your own programs that suit YOU given your time and other outside commitments.
I have read many reveiws stating Stuart repeats a lot in this book and it is true, but i found this advantagous in driving home these important points.
If you are looking for excersise tuition this is not the book for you, he has another book for that, which would be wise buying also. this is a cheap investment when u consider that many poeple get zero results out of the way they train now, and most likely spend that much money on useless supplements in a month. Great Book Stuart.

Summary: Worth a read, but not a bodybuilding Bible
Comment: Beyond Brawn is Stuart McRobert's advice for the hardgaining bodybuilder. In the book he advocates:
-an enormous focus on correct form and safety precautions
-one workout every three to five days, depending upon how much your body can tolerate.
-focus on the major exercises like squats, deadlifts, dips, pullups, bench press, etc...
-never more than three work sets per major exercise
-increasing resistance in very small increments for medium and advanced bodybuilders
-increasing or decreasing your calorie intake in relatively small increments to gain muscle without gaining too much fat or lose fat without losing too much muscle.
I agree with almost everything he says. However, he repeats himself endlessly and makes the occasional reference to his other books. The whole book could have been made 50 pages, perhaps less. I guess he inflated the size so people would take it seriosly as an 'encyclopedia of bodybuilding'. My time is precious, so ten hours of reading that could have been done in an hour and twenty minutes is worth -2 stars.
I've made decent progress following his program, although I can't always find the time to work out.

Summary: It's OKAY
Comment: The book isn't bad. I got it and am struggling to finish it. It's drawn out and boring. He repeats and plugs his other books throughout the book. McRobert seems to have good ideas and has a great target market in us HardGainers, but I prefer brief and practical advice. The book is a valueable tool.
