The best use of $39.95 - Alan's book
(Disclaimer: I have no affiliation and I hate to part with a buck as much as the next person.)

I've absorbed a lot from the internet and I generally won't buy anything because there's too much information freely available. However, there are certain individuals who frequent the boards (that you could probably count on one hand) who have a ton of knowledge when it comes to exercise physiology and sports nutrition. I believe that two are on this site - Bobo and Alan.

It appears that Alan has recently completed a project in the form of a new book that he'll be releasing next year. He probably won't give himself a shameless plug, so here's the link to it:

Girth Control - The Science of Fat Loss & Muscle Gain

Congratulations Alan, I'm looking forward to it. Perhaps you could provide some additional details about it?

If all was right in the world, I'd post a thread in the bulking section entitled, The Best Use of $29.99 -
CROWLER's Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix.

Now THAT'S the MAGIC PILL! (Or was the magic pill.) ;^)

T-Bone,

It takes quality to regonize quality. Or more colloquially, game recognize game, dog

The book covers the macronutrients, supplements, dips into exercise physiology & periodization, analyzes the pop diet trends, timing of nutrients, and finally walks through program design for various goals/phases. The focus won't be on sports performance, but rather on changing body comp. It's not overly technical or jargon-ridden. It's true that (almost) everything under the sun has been written about or posted on the net for free, but there are a few gems in there that aren't. I think the real value of the book is that it's like having me sitting at the bottom of your magazines in the bathroom.

Soon as it's done, I'll post the table of contents & index on my site.


Thanks again.

I can choose to fluff it up to 230 pages by widening the margins & bringing up the font, but screw that. I doubt it'll cross over 200 pages, won't likely be less than 180. It's gonna be appx 100,000 words anyway I slice it.

Hah, yeah @ the refund policy. The "take your refund & stick it in your nether region" policy is very liberating for all parties involved .

BTW, thanks for the support guys. It just makes me wanna outdo myself on this project.

If it's anything like the articles you've posted on the net, it should be worth every penny. You have a very lucid writing style and don't waste words on useless information or hand waving. I'm certain I've paid 3x for some textbooks that were probably worth only 1/3rd of what you're book is going for. (But don't raise the price! )

In all honesty, I'll be working on the book clear until the final days leading toward feb 1st, & the TOC will be done after everything. It's just how I am, OCD. I'll be editing, adding, subtracting stuff, until the witching hour. For example, I just finished a chapter which I feel is critical to understanding the material, called "The Science of Knowledge" (for crying out loud).
