Read it cover-to-cover and found it one of the worse written books in my experience. Endlessly repetitive. Author invents words for movements and stretches that are well-known and places them in 'his' system. First part, which is about a quarter of the book in length, could easily have been written in 5 pages. It basically tells you how to stand and what muscles to engage before undergoing a movement. Not useless info, but hardly qualifies as insightful. The second introduces basic lifts. Done much better by others. e.g. [b:Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training|2098799|Starting Strength Basic Barbell Training|Mark Rippetoe|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1332738315l/2098799._SX50_.jpg|2104162]. The third section introduces some (active) stretches. These are largely conventional. A major disappointment.
