Is this a workout book that can give you a lean and toned “Hollywood babe body” in 30 days flat?

No.

Is it a bodybuilding book full of dubious diet and exercise “hacks” and “shortcuts” for gaining lean muscle and melting belly fat faster than a sneeze in a cyclone?

Absolutely not.

But is it an exercise book (and nutrition book) that’ll show you exactly how to eat and exercise to lose up to 35 pounds of fat (or more) and gain eye-catching amounts of muscle definition and strength?

Yes.

And faster than you probably think possible.

  • 367 peer-reviewed scientific studies support the Thinner Leaner Stronger system of eating, exercising, and recovering for losing fat and gaining lean muscle and strength.
  • Thinner Leaner Stronger has sold over 400,000 copies in 13 different languages and is regularly revised based on the latest findings in nutrition and exercise scientific research (four editions released and counting!).

So, here’s the bottom line:

You can get that beautiful “beach-ready” body without following a bland, boring, bodybuilding diet and without doing exhausting strength training workouts you hate. And this exercise book shows you how.

Get your copy now, and start your journey to a fitter, leaner, and stronger you.

Definitive Guide!

Mike has delivered a very clear and precise narrative on building a women’s physique without any empty promises or BS! He knows his stuff! This is such a great “listen”. Any women interested in fitness and strength training should really take the time to listen to Mike. I wish I would have had this 10 years ago! Could have saved myself tons of time energy and mistakes.

Comprehensive and simple. What not to like

That audiobook along with the book itself is a great way to have an intuitive map on getting results. It simple and backed by science(with all the research notes in The book). I love it.

Terrible Narration, Good Content

I thought, "Wow! 15.5 hrs of content" when I bought this book, but turns out the author reads this book at a SNAIL'S PACE, falsely making it seem like you're getting more. I had to listen to it sped up (at least 1.5x speed) to stop myself from falling asleep. This is, at best, an 8 hour book. For context, I have never listened to a book at a faster pace before this.

The content is good but the narration is god-awful.

Does not speak to women at all

I fully agree with many of the other reviews saying this book does not speak to women. It is a book that was written for men and lazily recycled to try to appeal to women. The author clearly frequently missed many instances where he needed to change stats, cite women weightlifting champions, or modify his rude little quips so they make sense for women. Saying “120lb weakling” several times in the book does not resonate with me. I am 120lbs and I am no weakling. Also, using body shaming terms like fatty, flabby, ugly stomach, etc. does not motivate me. Finally, he frequently talks about and uses phrasing like women wanting to have a “killer” body and “if you want to look like a Victoria’s Secret model...”. It just didn’t resonate with me at all. I don’t want to look like a Victoria’s Secret model. I want to be my best self and be the strongest and fittest I can be. This isn’t the 90’s where everyone wants to look like Kate Moss. This is generally a very toxic book and does not promote body positive thinking and acceptance. I work out hard and find it motivating to listen to advice but this just made me angry. Even the fact that the title for women is “THINNER leaner stronger” and for men it’s “BIGGER leaner stronger” does not sit well with me. I get that “bigger” would not be a good term for women but I think there are many other words you could have picked over “thinner”. Would not recommend at all.

Can't bring myself to finish it

Quite disappointed with this book. It was suggested by my husband as he find the other book really useful, but this one seems to generalize all body weight and sizes. The content is still good, not all of it, but I still find some of it useful for me, that's why endured the first few chapters.
The worst part is the narration; I feel like I am a gradeschool being taught of simple math; I just can't bring myself to finish it.
