This is a compound manual for people interested in going to the gym.
This book comprises the biography of six time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates, as well as his training plan (alongside very valuable tips, which can be easily applied to every training schedule) and his philosophy which applies to many areas outside of the gym.
A quick read, packed with valuable information in regards to training, with proper form and mindset. This book could easily be used as a textbook for all-things muscle. It is fairly brief, and doesn't bore the reader with going through the proper technique of every movement you can possibly perform.
Yates philosophy when it comes to training clearly demonstrates why he was destined for success in the world of bodybuilding. I think it is interesting even for readers without particular interest in the gym, as you can skip many parts and consume the most important stuff.
Easily a five star.
