This is an excellent book. Very detailed but focused, but the key is that it works.

I got interested because I had a back pain that was bothering me a lot (I am 42 years old). I went to the doctor, they took pictures of my column with a scanner. Nothing appeared. I took long sessions with the kinesiologist. But the pain was still there. I decided that my back was weak and I need to gain strength. I bought this book, I bought the equipment, and started practicing. That was a few months ago…..

And now my back pain is absolutely gone!!!! My back is strong and also these exercises make you lift objects in every day activities using the same technique of “dead lift” that works perfectly for your back… Also, I noticed that my knees do not hurt any more when I run. Of course. The “Squat” has made my legs strong….

The quality of my life has really improved thanks to this book. I absolutely recommend it. I also left the gym with all their fancy and expensive machines, as I got at home all I need.
