I grabbed this as something to read whilst in boring meetings, mostly the work comes from the Author's blog posts including where he states that more information is found "here, here and here" which online would contain a hyperlink but copy/pasted into kindle needs some editing.
The author's narcissistic world record setting approach takes no prisoners and is a good break from general advice to go lighter and take more rest, but it's not always going to be viable. I also realise the oddity of buying a book on peaking for a meet on someone who thinks peaking is stupid and you should be able to pull three times your bodyweight cold and in jeans.
His approach is clearly to go as hard as possible and backfill what works for him with scientific research where available. Quoting things like Transcendental Meditation for reducing crime rate is generally seen as pseudo science and I belive was withdrawn by the original peer reviewed journal.
Probably not as worth buying as Destroy the Opposition or 365 Days of Brutality.
