i own this book. nothing special in it really. its good for motivation as it has a ton of pics. it has some basic info on diet etc in it. it talks about posing, and has a big section on exercises. i wouldnt encourage anyone to follow any of the routines in it. they are extremly high volume and most people would probably overtrain on them pretty easily. honestly you can find basically any reference materal you need on the internet for free. and if your the type of person that likes to read it on paper, you can just print it out :grin:

oh yeah, if you have a look in a 2nd hand bookstore (like arty bee's on courtney place) i think thats what its called.. you can find a whole bunch of bodybuilding books for cheap. i saw a frank zane book in there once. id say its worth having a look.

Kat, (Sorry don't know your name).

Do you own 'Supertraining' yourself?

[Spitterkat]

yup, why do you ask?

[ExpensiveUrine]

How much did you pay for shipping?

[Spitterkat]

next to nothing man, 5-10$ cant remember, usually i just order the thing with the credit card and let it do its thing.

[ExpensiveUrine]

So far the cheapest place (that I know of) is the Supertraining yahoo group where people buy this book (and many others) directly off Mel's wife.

I'm thinking the site you have in mind is EliteFitness.com?

[Spitterkat]

to tell the truth, i cant find the site now, didnt know the supertraining group did that (ive only been in it for a little while tho, havent gotten around to reading many messages)

[Spitterkat]

u got facts and fallacies? ive been meaning to get that

[ExpensiveUrine]

No I haven't.

I'm waiting on a certain company to buy some of the Mel's books so it would be less of a hassle shipping them from overseas, but it seems that it's taking alot longer than I expected. So I'll most likely be ordering both of those books this week or the upcoming week.
