October 29, 2009: Take it from someone who has some credentials: I have critically reviewed the information in this book and crossed referenced it with many resources. I have a strong exercise physiology background including studying under the founder and former president of the American Society of Exercise Physiologists; I am a personal trainer certified through multiple accredited associations including the American college of Sports Medicine; I am a student physical therapist; cross referenced this with an person who is not only an athletic trainer, but a physical therapist and has a doctorate related to exercise physiology; and cross referenced it with a Ph.D in Neuroanatomy. The book seems like it would work; the principles are in some ways correct. However, this book is a fast track to injury. I gave it a fair shot despite some fair warning. I sustained a SLAP lesion of the shoulder, bicep tendonitis, non specific back pain, and radiculopathy (meaning nerve pain). At best, you can take some of the ideas from this book and apply them. However, this is not a book to live by or follow. DO NOT FOLLOW THIS PLAN "TO A T."
