Jim himself, I’ve found he is always more than happy to answer any niggling questions you might have personally. Something you can’t get anywhere else in my experience.Thanks Jim, keep up the good work!

Supersets in weight training and how to use them
Of all the many aspects of James Atkinson’s books and programs and on and off line guides that make them special, it is his absolutely no nonsense approach that takes first place. He is a realistic, thoughtful, caring, but direct coach and he foregoes any ballyhoo about promises that can’t be kept. He takes the time to offer sound advice to prepare his followers, discusses all types of training from the dietary aspect to resistance training, cardio training, tucks in some supportive information of DMOS (for those of us who are beginners with Jim, that stands for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) and how to differentiate that from muscle injury, and Motivation – that all important ingredient in successful training.Jim summarizes the basics of his book: ‘This book is all about the very well known but little practiced (correctly) method of training known as “Supersets”. My aim with this book is to give you the knowledge so you will Be able to identify the workload that best suits your training goal, Effectively add supersets to your existing workouts, Use the method “full time”, Plan to use supersets to target your weaknesses, Be in a position to devise your own workout routine using this method. From my first year of resistance training I knew of the superset concept but it was many years later that I started to use it to good effect in my training and later, my clients training too. It was through my own exercise and learning that I was able to fashion this method into something that could be used in all types of workout. Whether you are looking to build muscle, burn fat or even train for endurance, you can Use supersets to shorten your workouts, Increase intensity, Add volume to your training, and Add variety to your average training session. This book includes examples of full workout routines for different levels of fitness and different fitness goals. These can be followed directly from the book, but my main focus is to pass on my knowledge so you can adapt your training or tweak the featured routines to great effect.’The steps Jim wisely organizes are presented in his chapter headings: Section 1: Health check, Introduction: What are Supersets?, The training effect, Why use supersets in your training, Workload, Which Workload Is for you?, Correct form always, A structured approach to training, Section 2:Supersets for strength and mass, Supersets for stamina and toning, Supersets for fat burning, Section 3: Adding supersets to your current workout routine. The Rules – Be creative! But don’t forget…. What to do now….. Section 4: Exercise descriptions, Outro.Accompanying his instruction – especially in discussing the specific workouts – are color photographs of people demonstrating correct positions. Jim thinks of everything. This is the kind of program that is finally accessible to all those who care about health and fitness. Following this program is a pleasure and becomes solid supportive way to tackle those goals. Grady Harp. August 15

Great Guide
Smart and comprehensive weight training guide which combines health advice with weight lifting instructions. This was just what I needed to get back into lifting. I keep it in my Kindle, read it at night and by morning am excited to implement what I learn. This is a substantive book and a real bargain at the current Kindle price.

De este libro me ha gustado mucho la claridad con la que el autor expone los contenidos también me ha gustado mucho lo metódico que es y como ofrece información para incorporar la superseries a tus rutinas habituales. Comentaría este libro a las personas que entrenan en general y que quieren llegar un poco más lejos en sus entrenamientos ya sea para la pérdida de grasa o para la gananza de masa muscular. Le doy una calificación de cuatro estrellas porque es un libro que no es muy extenso tiene condensados todos los conocimientos del autor y además bien explicados los ejercicios le hubiera dado una quinta estrella si hubiera incluido más fotos y un sistema de indicación para recorrer el libro adelante y atrás de una forma más fácil

Very thin book. Minimum text and poor illustrations. Nothing new or revolutionary to learn. Add a few pounds, you get a lot better books.
