Summary: Excellent Beginner Manual for a Life Changing Physique
Review: Bill has done an excellent job of presenting basic information for the beginner and or someone who has been training with no success. He puts it all out there and tells you exactly how and what to do to transform your body. Obviously different body types, genetics, blood types etc. factors will affect your results compared to the people you see who have completed the 12 week. You can always write to the actual people and get suggestions or look them up with directory assistance and call them for personal advice. There will be naysayers and negative attitude type of people out there, they have their perspective and how they want to view Bill Phillips and EAS. Let them be. Do the 12 week program and see the results for yourself..

Summary: A useless advertising... and you'll PAY for that?
Review: This book is really not worth buying. All you get here are basic exercises you can find in any book for people starting to train with weights, and basic nutrition advices as well. You can find the same and more for 2$ in second-hand "get into shape" books, or for free by browsing the Internet. There are pretty good sites that give advices for free, and don't advertise for supplements. This is the main drawback of this book, and that's exactly where it loses credibility. By advertising for products he sells, the author shows the real goal of his book. So not only he earns money with a not really useful book, but he tells people to buy his products, which are quite useless to a beginner! So this book is basically just an advertisement. You have the choice of buying into this marketing sheme, or look for real info elsewhere. If you really want to do something about your shape, get another book.

Summary: Simply another infomercial for EAS
Review: Good ol' Bill. I tell you what, if you want advice from BP, don't get bodybuilding/fitness advice, but instead business advice. This guy can really write ads and suck you in. But each and every time I bite, I am profoundly disappointed. His books, articles, etc. are nothing more than a big advertisement to buy some more EAS product. 'Body for Life'...it touts buying his Myoplex and using it at least 3 times a day as a diet breakthrough. Do the math on what that would cost you. Don't fall for his ploys again my friends!

Summary: One big advertisement
Review: This book is okay but nothing special. I was expecting much better from Phillips. The information is this book is very similar to what is in MuscleMedia so it is probably better to just buy that magazine. I can't really recommend that you buy MuscleMedia but the magazine is very, very similar to this book. I was hoping that new information and insight would be included but this is the same information in new packaging. I can sum up the book in a few words "Buy my supplements and work out". Is that amazing? I truely don't understand why the reviews here have been so positive. I would sum up the book as lukewarm and nothing to get excited about. Reading the positive reviews here I'm reminded of those all too excited participants in infomercials.

Summary: Nothing useful that you couldn't learn yourself
Review: Bill Phillips is at it again. With his Sports Supplement Review the founder and owner of supplement company EAS disguised a marketing piece as a semi-informative discussion of nutrition as it relates to bodybuilding. This book is yet another attempt by Phillips to sell his overpriced and generally ineffective supplements. His writing motivates some people to better themselves. Me, I can't get past his smarmy, self-congratulatory attitude. "Shawn, warm up the private jet!?" Please.

Summary: Weak book, weak supplements, wealthy author
Review: Bill Phillips has a great formula for success in 10 easy steps:1) start a steroid newsletter 2) partner up with a doctor for a meal replacement powder 3) start up a magazine to promote product 4) after spliting with partner start your own supplement line (including a more expensive meal replacement powder) 5) Use magazine to promote your supplement line (using creative ploys such as contests) and never mention former product or former parter (even if previously refered to him as a genius) 6) Charge 50-150% more for products than competitors and claim products are "special" and developed by your company 7) after tapping out market and sales of magazine start to slip, write a book promoting products 8) Have employees give positive reviews of book on Amazon.com and place orders to place book in the bestseller catagory 9) Donate book profits to charity (although not a dime of supplement line profits) to create image of "caring for the public" 10) date models and playmates and retire young You can buy into this new twist on Amway or you can buy better, cheaper supplements and follow a better workout routine.

Summary: Amazing reviews
Review: This book is as bad as any fitness book. It seems to me that the reviews for this book are either 1 star or 5 stars. It doesnt take much thought to determine why this is. A lot of the 5 star reviews seem to have been ripped out of one of Bills magazine advertisments.

Summary: Absolutey a wonderful must read.
Review: Having been an avid bodybuilding magazine reader for the past six years, I've had the chance to read many encouraging, articulate and straighforward articles, while at the same time meeting with much more tomfoolery in the sport through various "rags". Bill Phillips, the savvy businessman and incredible entrepreneur that many believe he is, became that way by actually doing the right thing. His love and eternal affinity to the sport of bodybulding coupled with his razor sharp wit has afforded many the opportunity to change many aspects of their life for the better. His so called "product pushing" is natural. Who would expect a businessman to want people to buy a competitor's product? The reason he has the resources to keep producing day in and day out is because people know his products work, and they know he tells the truth. His expertise is obvious in the words he scripts for Muscle Media. The quality of "Body for Life" is no less than a wonderful read, guaranteeing that one has the potential and ability to better themselves by bettering their bodies.
