I just wanted to send a big thank you for your fantastic book. I have been on this program for just a few weeks now, and Ive already seen big differences! Thank you so much for putting out such a COMPLETE and thorough book. I do not know of any other one source that puts together so much great and necessary detail.
Keep up the great work. Youve already made a big difference in my life. I also recently bought the Power Block dumbbells on your recommendation, and I love them, too!

I started your program six weeks ago, and I am in the best shape of my life. I used the 14-day Body Sculpting Workout #2 and it has given me incredible results! You guys have done a great job of informing and motivating the reader for a great routine. Again, this book was a revelation to me in many ways. I feel like this book cuts straight to the point in a fresh, straightforward way.

This is one of the most informative fitness books I have ever laid my eyes on. I have used this book to change my entire workout. The photographs are amazing. Detail, detail, detail. This is a must BUY

I have been following this book for two months and I have never felt better. I have learned a lot and turned my wife on to the womens edition, and she follows it and loves it. Thanks!

This book addressed exactly what I was looking for. All the exercises are thoroughly detailed and they explain the mistakes that you should avoid while performing them. The majority of the exercises described in the book are done with free weights, so machines are not required. Almost all of the workouts can be done at home with a basic dumbbell set. I found the books coverage of nutrition and fat burning extremely helpful. Workout charts and sample diets are also included, so you know exactly how to start. The book also covers all levels of body sculpting. I have already begun to see my body take shape and am very satisfied with this book.

Great book! Easy to read, covers the entire subject workouts, nutrition, supplements, etc. Ive been doing it for six weeks and have seen great results. The concept of the 14-day workout makes sense and allows for a schedule that can last a lifetime. I highly recommend this book!
A reader from Bordentown, N.J.
Ive been a personal trainer in New York City for the last eight years and have read countless books on the subject of fitness.
For the last two months I have implemented The Body Sculpting Bible techniques into my personal training programs and have seen truly impressive results with all of my clients.
No other book has provided me with such effective and useful tools that have helped me help my clients achieve great progress in such a short amount of time.
Because of this book, my personal training business has absolutely increased. If youre looking for a straightforward, realistic, and effective fitness book for men, this is a must read!
A reader from New York City
These guys did an excellent job. The book is easy to understand, and rich in information and routines that anyone can follow. Ive already read many books, but none of them compares to The Body Sculpting Bible. If you were looking for a great fitness book, youve found it. Most importantly, this 14-day program WORKS!
Norberto F. (Sao Paulo, Brazil)
I wanted to start a weight-training program to finally get the body I wanted. I tend to try and research what I need to do before starting anything and this book was amazing. The mind to body connection helps with focusing on what muscles need to be exercised and keeping proper form in the movements. The nutrition information is excellent for the beginner. With all the supplements out there it gives a wonderful easy to understand guide to what you should take to help get the body youre looking for. The programs are easy to follow and detailed. The thing I like most about the book though is that it doesnt offer a quick fixit gives you the foundation to start building a strong muscular body. So if you are looking to start a new workout routine and to pack on muscle and take off the fat, I highly recommend this book.
