I'll be honest here. I love fiction and rarely review non-fiction books. I only decided to review The 110 lb Hulk by Benjamin Pierce because I wanted to start a workout routine and I was hopeful there might be something in The 110 lb Hulk that I could use. I hoped to get inspiration if nothing else, but I didn't think I would find everything I needed in one book. My luck just isn't usually that good. I am so happy that I picked this book to review. It is everything I need in one well written, well organized, reader-friendly format. I took a Master Fitness course while serving as a soldier in the U.S. Army, but that was a very long time ago. That experience, however, gave me the basic knowledge to be able to at least recognize sound science and good advice when it comes starting a fitness routine.

The science in The 110 lb Hulk is all sound. There are no unrealistic fantastic claims, just good advice obviously given by someone who worked it all out by applying it to his own life. Benjamin Pierce emphasizes little victories every day rather than trying to change yourself dramatically in a hurry. An important part of the book is the information on a healthy diet. There is a lot of sound nutritional advice in The 110 lb Hulk and Benjamin Pierce takes the novice through the entire process in this well written, easy to understand book.

The 110lb Hulk: A No-Nonsense Guide to Gaining Muscle, Losing Fat and Bursting Through Plateaus is a non-fiction fitness book written by Benjamin Pierce. In this book, the author shares his story on how he went from being an underweight hard-gainer to becoming a competitive bodybuilder. Pierce's guide is geared toward beginning weight trainers; however, those of us who've not been in the gym for a few years will also find the book instructive and inspiring. Pierce takes a holistic approach to bodybuilding, and he shows how nutrition, aerobics and weight training are all vital parts of a bodybuilder's training regime. He presents most of the major movements and exercises along with pictures of the muscle groups affected by each movement.

It's been a few years since I did any weight training, and I was intrigued by the author's introduction to this book. His before and after pictures make it plain that he's developed a system that works for him. It's not an easy system, especially the dietary parts, but it's not going to take up hours of your day and, as those pictures prove, it can be done -- without steroids, supplements or 5-hour sessions at the gym. While I was already familiar with the movements he presented in The 110lb Hulk, I was impressed by his routines and his nutritional information. Pierce's section on how to prepare and freeze healthy meals for the week is inspired. Best of all, The 110lb Hulk had me researching and selecting a weight bench and planning a home gym in my spare room before I was even half-way through the book -- and what better recommendation could there be for a bodybuilding book?

The 110lb Hulk by Benjamin Pierce is an informative health guide to help readers achieve optimum exercise results efficiently. Forget about quick weight loss schemes, dietary supplement hype and floundering through a routine that is boring and ineffective. Pierce lays out a systematic plan to bulk up with lean muscle gain or to cut fat. He explains the different body types and dispels the myths about body transformation, drawing on his own trial and error experiences. This detailed book is perfect for all levels of fitness, from beginners to advanced as the comprehensive roadmap is about lifestyle change, attaining balanced health, increasing energy levels, slowing aging, preventing physical injury, and feeling more confident and happy.

Each chapter focuses on the knowledge needed to be successful and bust weight-loss plateaus. The inspirational manual even has great-tasting recipes to achieve the proper nutritional science. There are illustrated exercises based on careful research for the main areas of legs, arms, back and abdomen, designed to encourage calorie after-burn. The sample program routines can be customized to suit any schedule and results will be apparent with a slow but consistent effort.

This motivational book really is so much more than a how-to-guide by a fitness industry expert. It really is a personal journey of one man who was born with a scrawny frame and, through hard work and dedication, has achieved a gorgeous ripped physique. Setting realistic goals and expectations, anyone can master similar results without spending a lifetime in the gym. If you want to get healthy now without making wasteful mistakes in time and money, then The 110lb Hulk by Benjamin Pierce is the perfect addition to any fitness bookshelf.
