Book Reviews of Men's Health Huge in a Hurry: Get Bigger, Stronger, and Leaner in Record Time with the New Science of Strength Training (Men's Health (Rodale))
Book Review: Great information and advice in a well written book
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this book to anyone looking to get good results from an efficient, simple, and yet challenging training program, and especially for beginner to intermediate lifters who don't have a ton of time to spend in the gym. I have been training on and off for more than 16 years. I found the advice and sample programs refreshingly different and effective, and through this book (and Mr. Waterbury's other writings in T-mag, etc.) I have experienced both renewed progress and increased enjoyment of my training.
The book is very logically and clearly written; any trainee should be able to pick it up and understand both Mr. Waterbury's reasoning and the resulting workouts. The beginning chapters lay out the science and reasoning behind his training approach. This is followed by several sample programs for getting bigger, stronger, leaner and more of the same. Then there's a large section dedicated to pictures and descriptions of the exercises included in the training programs. And the book wraps up with a discussion on nutrition and how best to meet your physical and mental needs through your diet.
I have heard/read some people criticize the book for the section of pictures. While I can understand where they're coming from, I actually like them. Between reading the descriptions of the main exercises, seeing related alternatives for future variety, and then looking up correct form on youtube, when possible, I've improved (or at least validated) the quality of my exercises. I also like that he doesn't push supplements. It seems that I can't find many workouts now that don't go side-by-side with a supplement program as well. I am always suspect of authors who seem to have created an entire workout philosophy that just happens to go hand in hand with their supplements. It's refreshing that the nutritional information in the book really just pushes eating whole, natural foods in the right amounts and at the right times.
The editing of the book is also very good. I've only found one typo so far, which while unfortunately located in the first stage of the first workout, is easy to recognize because the workout makes no sense as written. (Mr. Waterbury has since noted the typo on his blog I think). Compare this to "The Poliquin Principles" that, while also a great book in many ways, had paragraphs that just ended mid-sentence (and truly awful pictures).
And even if you don't want to follow the workouts as prescribed, I think there's still plenty of tips and approaches to training that can be adapted from what is recommended in the book. Don't want to work out your full body three times a week? OK, then don't. But maybe you take the rep goals and rest periods and exercise selection and apply it to another program. So I think that there's something for everyone in this book.

Summary of Men's Health Huge in a Hurry: Get Bigger, Stronger, and Leaner in Record Time with the New Science of Strength Training (Men's Health (Rodale))
Men's Health Huge in a Hurry will add inches to your muscles and increase your strength, with noticeable results quickly, no matter how long you've been lifting. Author Chad Waterbury offers the most current neuromuscular science to debunk the fitness myths and conventional wisdom that may be wreaking havoc on your workouts and inhibiting your gains. Forget lifting moderate weights slowly for lots and lots of sets and reps. The best way to get huge in a hurry is to use heavy weights and lift them quickly for fewer repetitions. Waterbury's groundbreaking programs will enable you to:
-Add Mass and size. Gain as much as 16 pounds of muscle in 16 weeks--and add 1 full inch of upper arm circumference in half that time!
-Get stronger...fast! Even seasoned lifters can realize a 5 percent increase in strength in the first few weeks. And in 12 weeks, you can boost your overall strength by up to 38 percent.
-Build power and stamina. Increase your one-rep max in your core lifts by as much as 30 percent.
-Shed fat fast. Burn off up to 10 pounds of body fat, losing up to 2 pounds of fat per week.
With Men's Health Huge in a Hurry, you'll not only get bigger faster, you'll do it with less time wasted in the gym and with less post workout pain and a much lower injury risk.
