The drawback to any book written by a fitness trainer is the author's obvious avoidance of writing himself out of a job。 Waterson is maddeningly vague in some aspects （for example， during cardio sets， should I be pedaling away on the stationary bike as if I was racing for my life or should I just softly spin my legs？ Is there an ideal heart rate I should strive for？） but I also understand his need to make a living after the publication of his book， so instead I'll focus on what secrets Waterson The drawback to any book written by a fitness trainer is the author's obvious avoidance of writing himself out of a job。 Waterson is maddeningly vague in some aspects （for example， during cardio sets， should I be pedaling away on the stationary bike as if I was racing for my life or should I just softly spin my legs？ Is there an ideal heart rate I should strive for？） but I also understand his need to make a living after the publication of his book， so instead I'll focus on what secrets Waterson does share rather than what he doesn't。 His personal system focuses on having a flexible mindset， pushing yourself without injury， and he provides 13 sample workouts that he used with various stars。 These I've found worth the price of the book。 Each workout has a subtly different concentration （the Tom Hiddleston workout， for example， is very shoulder heavy） and takes almost exactly half an hour to complete， not including warm-up/cool-down。 They're solid workouts which I mix-and-match depending on what I want to pinpoint; this past week I did the Hiddleston once and the Chris Evans workout twice， and by the end of the week I was capable of more reps than I was at the start。 Also， Waterson never once tries to sell me a supplement， which alone puts him above every trainer I've met in real life。 Recommended。 。。。more

Good general info but lacking Good general info and examples of individual workouts but I would have liked to have seen an overview of how each workout fits into the big picture of the actors program。 For example Daniel Craig's upper body workout was shown as 2 days per week but it wasn't explained how this fits into Daniels rest of his program。 I。e。 how many days lower body？ How many days on other activities such as recovery， martial arts， stunt training etc。 This was perpetuated throughout。 I Good general info but lacking Good general info and examples of individual workouts but I would have liked to have seen an overview of how each workout fits into the big picture of the actors program。 For example Daniel Craig's upper body workout was shown as 2 days per week but it wasn't explained how this fits into Daniels rest of his program。 I。e。 how many days lower body？ How many days on other activities such as recovery， martial arts， stunt training etc。 This was perpetuated throughout。 I also didn't understand how the 5/2 method accounts for overall weekly volume and recovery of body parts compared to traditional body part splits such as upper/lower split， push/pull/legs split etc。 In addition the cardio while resting between resistance didn't make sense/wasn't explained because I would have thought cardio would make the resistance excercise weaker and therefore adaptation stall I。e。 SAID principle 。。。more
