There is a new fitness book. After about a year the same book has a new
version – extended and revised. It all seems great and sexy but as
always there is a little story behind the scenes, a little something
that makes it all work, a little secret that starts the engine, a
little hidden truth that nobody wants you to know because if you know
it problems occur and nobody likes problems - we all want to just
collect our paychecks, as fast as possible. The Bigger. The
Better.
It's true, fitness books contain useful information. You can learn a
lot regarding training and you can definitely improve thanks to a
fitness or strength book. While all of that is true every training
manual out there fails miserably in the long run because it is
incomplete, misleading and unnecessary over-complicated just to cause
paralysis by analysis.
Sure, you can learn the fine points of squatting and deadlifting from
a book and later apply them in your training but in the end of the
day you still won't have the results of the glorified athletes those
reading materials usually use as front cover. To this day there isn't
a single book covering all the aspect of the iron game and there is
always something missing and that little something is the base of the
house. What is it?
The majority of the income generated by fitness and strength books
comes from the newbies. They are willing to do whatever it takes to
get that sexy body advertised by fitness models in movies magazines
and homo sexual bars. Since we are used to learn everything from
books it makes sense to buy one for that too. Despite all the
reading, however, fitness books never produce results even close to
the advertisements. How so? I thought knowledge was power.
The reason for that failure is of course the fact that fitness books,
just like magazines, never discuss the issue of anabolic steroids. On
the contrary, their authors want you to believe that training methods
have evolved so much that you don't need needles in your ass in order
to get as big as the men praised in those overrated materials.
Nothing could be further from the truth since anabolic steroids have
been the base of all strength sports and bodybuilding since the
1940s. Writers on strength and conditionning such as Mr. Mark
Rippetoe, Mr. Pavel Tsatouline and, Mr. Dr. Layne Norton, Mr. Marty
Gallagher can all continue to sell their books and come up with new
and improved versions, IronGangsta.com couldn't care less. We want
you, however, to know that it's all the same old recycled material
that exploits the general low intellect and ignorance of beginners
through cheap marketing tricks such as “milk & squats are
better than steroids”, “mysterious Soviet muscle building
tactics”, “Primitive training”...etc. You have to understand
that the goal of those authors is to make money, FIRST. It has never
been STRONG FIRST, it has always been MONEY FIRST.

IronGangsta.com has no problem with people trying to make money. We
all need it and we all work for it. However, remembering how it feels to try and try and try with little or usually no
results at all, despite all the reading and secrets methods, is
something that is hard to forgive and poor sources of "knowledge" are
the ones to blame. Who is going to get me back all that wasted time
and effort?
Like already said – fitness books could be useful if they were
written in an honest way without the usual propaganda and lies. But
this is never going to happen since there are plenty of suckers to
cover for the ones that know how it all works. {you don't have to be
very smart to know}
How many books can one write on squats, kettlebells, barbells...etc?
By the looks of it - as many as the fanatics are willing to buy for
Christmas.
Make sure that your fitness book and protein powder are the same
color and don't forget to get your certification. {for ignorance}.
