German muscle physiology at it's best
For the most part (as is the norm in "cutting edge, out of the box" programs) Sisco and Little simply profit by popularizing intellectual work done by researchers... in this case work done by German researchers back in the 1950's. There are several "gurus" across the country doing the same thing, but most act as if they developed the programs on their own. (at least Little admits the program is based on published work of German scientists) Where the book falls way short - again in what seems to be the "norm" - is the section on diet and supplementation. They are woefully out of their depths in these areas, make broad, sweeping statements that are scientifically invalid and may lead readers who don't know any better into skipping dietary alterations that would increase growth, decrease recovery time or both. While I agree with their general commentary (that most supplements are over priced, over hyped, under deliver and are a waste of money) there ARE supplements that absolutely will increase recovery and growth in a given amount of time... the funny thing is, the ones that really work are inexpensive and generally not promoted as bodybuilding supplements. I bought a used copy of the book for less than $5.00, for me well worth it just to have a record of the gains in strength and mass achieved in their independent studies (which I personally use as results of a control group vs. the shifts achieved when specific scientifically validated supplements are added into the mix). While the workout routine is sound and surprisingly effective compared to conventional training, I'd strongly suggest looking elsewhere for nutritional recommendations to follow while incorporating the heavy workouts outlined in this book.

Try this training philosophy if you want results
A common sense, logical approach to strength training. Lots of data to back it up.

If possible, find their interview with Tony Robbins about Static Contraction.
Very interesting approach to lifting and strength training. Seem to have the stats to back it all up.
