Home Bodybuilding: Three Easy Steps to Building Your Body and Changing Your Life

Rating:
Summary: Most overrated product I have bought on Amazon.com
Review: This book is okay (b-a-r-e-l-y okay), but it is not worth buying given that there are much better competing books available. "Home Bodybuilding" describes a moderate number of exercises that can be done at home, either with no equipment or with minimal and easily-obtained equipment. But here are the problems with Robert Wolff's book:

1.) There are many exercises shown that can only be done if one has access to expensive, complicated gym machines. (Yo! Isn't this supposed to be for h-o-m-e workouts?)

2.) There is a sloppiness and an imprecision in the way many of the exercises are described.

3.) The whole book is written at a reading level equivalent to that found in "The National Enquirer" or "The New York Post."

4.) It's also filled with cheerful, peppy, Oprah-like self-help sayings and anecdotes that recall Dale Carnegie in an extremely good mood. They bored and annoyed me.

So, in sum, this is an okay, m-i-l-d-l-y helpful book that is sloppy, incomplete, and, in my estimation, hardly does what its title boasts it will do. A good book is Lou Schuler's "The Men's Health Home Workout Bible." It does what "Home Bodybuilding" was supposed to, but didn't. The BEST book of this sort is Ian King's "The Book of Muscle." Believe the hype on that last product.

I learned from this Amazon.com purchase never again to trust any 5-star review that was written by the generic "A READER", rather than by a real person with a verifiable real name or screen name. I strongly discourage you from purchasing "Home Bodybuilding."
