Has anyone read this book? Any reviews?
Here is the amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Steroids-Warren-Willey/dp/1425103391/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232128462&sr=8-1
It seems pretty good. He goes through diets, proper nutrition (including what you should have pre- and post-workout), and workout routines and strategies.
I guess I’m wondering if anyone has tried his suggestions and what they thought about them.
I will review why and how anabolic steroids work, which will lead us into why food programs, eating plans and tricks like the pre and post workout meal are not only comparable to anabolic steroids, but better!
That’s funny.
I’m going to write a book, it will be titled “Better Than Better Than Steroids”
I will be his food program, but with steroids
That’s the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever read in my entire existence on planet Earth. Nothing, I mean nothing, that is sold or made under the blue sky is comparable or better than androgenic anabolic steroids. Nothing. I don’t give a fuck about a study done by this Dr. Douche from UC Virginia that states that this supplement raises free testosterone 1,000,000% over normal on hypogonadic men.
Its all bullshit, its all brightly colored lies. The only supplements that do work in my honest to God opinion are a: high quality whey, creatine, caffeine, glutamine, ephedra/ephedrine, and a good multi-vitamin. The herbs and other products that GNC sells that are plainly labeled and aren’t claimed to be used by pro bodybuilders are also effective.
To believe that a dietary supplement that hides behind the “proprietary blend of secret herbs and spices umbrella” is simply idiotic at best. At that point you’re an equal if not less than a juvenille.

the book is about proper nutrition, not a supplement…

I probably wasn’t good in explaining what the book is about. But basically, he states that steroids allow people to train harder by allowing for faster recovery and better uptake of nutrients into the muscles.
He advocates a nutrition program that simulates this using foods such as insulin mimickers (cinnamon, vinegar) and the proper vitamins. He also gives some advice on weightlifting program design (e.g., explains incorporating strip sets, drop sets, etc.).
I guess my question was if anyone had incorporated these ideas and what were their results?

My verbal assault was aimed at __________________ and their ___________ which I think are overpriced. I might as well censor myself.
My parents got it for me for christmas, I didn’t like it.
He outlines some good principles but hes so gay about it. He gives you the general guidelines and then says “I will go more in depth in future writings” and you’re like “WTF MAN!” He does this for literally every subject he delves into.
He also uses the retarded line of “Better than steroids” like 75 times.
All in all it was an interested read, it gives some good tips for pre/post workout nutrition, and strategies like supercompensation, along with a few diets. But he goes into almost no details and you are left hanging on a lot of stuff.
I was pissed when I finished reading it, when someone claims they have something that is “Better Than Steroids” they better fuckin back it up, and I dont think he did.
Just my thoughts.
His whole premise of the better than steroids thing is he tells you to make sure you have carbs +protein in your pre/post workout meals, preferably in a liquid form. And you say “Dude, I already knew that.”

No. The problem with this book is he doesnt really tell you how to incorporate things, and I’m not about to make some drastic changes to what I’m doing with limited information. He busts out stuff like the insulin mimickers and whatnot without telling you really how to use them.
It’s like if I gave you a vial of testosterone and told you to inject this twice a week for 10 weeks, and that’s all I told you. You understand the premise but you really would have no idea what to do. That’s what I felt like he was doing, when he was running through his laundry list of things that are “Better then steroids”.
sounds good…i’ve already applied most of it im sure
I remember when I was in college, I ordered a book called ‘The Steroid Alternative Handbook’. BIggest waste of money ever. I even sent a nasty letter to the publisher (Ironman magazine,… imagine that -lol)
S
This books is a lie. Nothing is better than steroids.
i left a book review, dont know why it didnt go up.

Me thinks your parents bought you the book because they’re concerned you’re doing steroids.
