(More customer reviews)Description:

POWERFLEX is 160 pages written by Mr. Jim Forystek and published by Bronze Bow Publishing.Both Jimmy and Johnny Forystek model the presented exercises.The new POWERFLEX course features 40 self-resistance type exercises.It employs an animal allegory for each exercise to inspire motivation and visualization. The course features 5 exercises per muscle group and is divided into 8 muscle groups: chest, abs, spine, neck, back, legs, shoulders, and arms.It also includes 5 speed, energy, and endurance workouts.It takes the guesswork out of which exercises to do and how many repetitions of each exercise to do.Five exercises are what you do for each muscle group.The course suggests for people starting the program to perform the chest workout for eight weeks and work out the remaining seven muscle groups one a week for 7 weeks.

Good Points:

This course provides a clearly defined system that is easy to follow.It clearly lists the exercises for each body part and proscribes recommended repetitions.It does not, however provide recommended sets.Jim does address the issue of sets on the first page of the chest workout by letting people know that it is ok to break up the repetitions into sets and allow for rest in between.Jim places emphasis on tension more than the amount of repetitions.

Mr. Forystek's sons are in really good shape and do a wonderful job in posing.Both Jimmy and Johnny made excellent models and demonstrate the effectiveness of the system.

I personally found the acknowledgment section interesting and somewhat inspiring.It's too bad that Jim Forystek never asked his dad where he found the six-foot metal pole in the woods.

Suggested Improvements:

I feel that Jim should have provided a couple of pages on a recommend diet plan.

POWERFLEX often times uses three pictures to demonstrate exercises.I believe that several of the Flexes should have 4 or five photos per exercise.

More examples of speed, energy, and endurance workouts should have been provided.Information on how to combine the different drills for a week or month schedule would have added a lot of value.

Bonus:

This book serves as an excellent complement to other bodyweight exercise books.This course offers a new approach with emphasis on flexing rather than on calisthenics.Purchased with other books that primarily focus on calisthenics, POWERFLEX provides many excellent complimentary exercises and fitness information, but with very little duplication of material.

Score:

I gave this exercise manual a rating of four out of five stars.I highly recommend its purchase.It's a great addition to any fitness library.
