Author Chad Waterbury offers the most current neuromuscular science to debunk the fitness myths and conventional wisdom that may be wreaking havoc on your workouts and inhibiting your gains. Forget lifting moderate weights slowly for lots and lots of sets and reps. The best way to get huge in a hurry is to use heavy weights and lift them quickly for fewer repetitions.

Gain as much as 16 pounds of muscle in 16 weeks--and add 1 full inch of upper arm circumference in half that time!-Get stronger...fast! Even seasoned lifters can realize a 5 percent increase in strength in the first few weeks. And in 12 weeks, you can boost your overall strength by up to 38 percent.-Build power and stamina. Increase your one-rep max in your core lifts by as much as 30 percent.-Shed fat fast. Burn off up to 10 pounds of body fat, losing up to 2 pounds of fat per week.With Men's Health Huge in a Hurry, you'll not only get bigger faster, you'll do it with less time wasted in the gym and with less post workout pain and a much lower injury risk.

      TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS: DO NOT FOLLOW THIS PLANby ccccranberries

      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."

      October 19, 2009: I have been in the Marine Corps for 17 years and am currently serving as a Marine Corps Martial Arts Instructor and Personal Trainer. This book is one of the best and most efficient fitness programs that I have ever done. The book is written in plain easy to understand English and is organized in a manner that makes the information easily accessible.
