The Testosterone Advantage Plan
Wide shoulders, narrow waist, thick chest, muscular arms and legs: today's
male ideal physique is the same as that of ancient Greece. Aerobics and the
Food Pyramid just won't yield that shape, argues Lou Schuler, certified
strength-and-conditioning specialist and fitness director of Men's Health
magazine. For weight loss and the Greek physique, he proposes the "T"
(testosterone) plan: weightlifting and a diet of 33 percent each carbs
(mostly low-glycemic-index), fat (the "good" kind), and protein; no
alcohol; and minimal sweets and processed food. The book includes a meal
planner, grocery list, and recipes. A 100-page, clearly illustrated
weightlifting program progresses from circuit training to bodybuilding to
power lifting, with both home and gym exercises.This research-based program was tested on 16 willing, hefty guys. After nine weeks, they lost an average of 18 pounds, dropped waist inches, gained strength and energy, and improved their sex lives. The book includes before-and-after photos and quotes from the happy campers.
Schuler's man-to-man style is clear, direct, and witty ("one gorilla wearing a stringy tank in July is all it takes to leave a bench soaked in ectoplasm"). The Testosterone Advantage Plan is recommended for men willing to commit to a rigorous lifting program to achieve their ideal physique.
