Maximum Muscle Book

I was going to buy this book off of Amazon, but wanted to know more about it. I would buy it here but you are out of stock.

Can someone give me some info about the book?

thanks

Kellie,  it's currently out of print, but Ori has already rewritten it and it's going to be republished by April 2008.  I've got the original version and it's fantastic, but very scientific and technical.  Ori's "dumbed it down" a bit to make it more readable for the layperson in the new version, not sacrificing quality, but simply making it a bit more understandable.  I've got the text of the previous version, but it's not formatted, otherwise I'd make it available as an e-book.  I'll try to do that if I can, but it's going to take me awhile.

It is a good read but it is very technical. It took awhile to wade through it.

Thanks so much for answering. I think I will wait for the rewrite. If anyone can recommend a good book on strength training for woman over 40 please let me know.

Hmm, have you tried "Sweatin' to the Oldies" by Richard Simmons?

I have read "the warrior diet" "controlled fatigue training" and "nax muscle min fat" the only one I would recommend is "max muscle min fat" the other two are too dumbed down in my opinion. of course I like to know why stuff works instead of blindly following what someone says is right. and max muscle min fat offers lots of details and sources for research. only after reading this book did I think that he knew what he was talking about. I tend to be a little jaded towards marketing schemes, especially in the dieting realm. but I think there are some sound ideas throughout his book.

There are a lot of excellent resources out there for kettlebell training, any number of which can work very well for you.  My wife is 50 and trains almost exclusively with kettlebells.  See my site below for some articles to get you started.

"isoul", unfortunately, most diet books have to be dumbed down in order to be understood by the general population.  Perhaps if you're such an erudite, you should be writing your own books and keeping the rest of us informed with your innovation.

I stand reprimanded, the intent of my post was not to throw dirt on dieting books or the people who read/write them. Rather, I wanted to express my frustration.

There are so many books that all say their's is the only way to achieve maximum health/fitness. I do not claim to have any more knowledge than the next guy, but I grow weary of sifting through "breakthrough" ideas that don't offer any supporting research/data. Which is why I enjoyed the "max muscle min fat" book as I was saying. It was not an attempt to discredit the other books in Ori's library. There is no reason for you to go on the defensive. I have been following the warrior way of eating for 22 days now, and have no complaints.

Fitness and Diet books need to be treated like religion.....take the parts that work best for you and make it your own.  Not all systems work for all people, but all of them tend to have pieces of the grand puzzle that is you....treat it as sort of a divide and conquer.
