Rating: Summary: General Info, maybe too general... Review: The author obviously knows the subject matter. He seeks to write a very basic, general manual on beginning bodybuilding. The setup is very easy to follow, with chapters each discussing a different topic and seldom exceeding more than two pages. His best chapters are the ones on Creatine and other supplements, since this is his area of expertise.However, if you are beyond the basics, you may be disappointed by this book. It will not teach you individual exercises or techniques. It will also not give you workout routines. This is simply a book covering the very elementary basics of bodybuilding (such as "do not overtrain" and "eat right").

Rating: Summary: Superb information in an easy to read format Review: This book is presented in a straight-forward and easy to read format. Each of the "50 Ways to Build Muscle Fast" is summarized and then followed with supporting information. The book has utilized pictures and charts to keep the reader's attention. The short chapters (there are 50) can be read individually or as I did, in one sitting. Everything from "Accepting your genetics" to "Getting Enough Sleep" is included in a logical format. The author, Dave Tuttle, has extensive experience writing for a number of bodybuilding publications. His book is factually accurate with helpful references throughout. He provides a wealth of knowledge for those just beginning to lift weights. More advanced enthusiasts will use it as a reference to stay focused and motivated. You don't have to aspire to be a professional bodybuilder to benefit from this book. All of us, teenagers and older, need to work towards this goal - that of building muscle - for a longer and healthier life.
