    It doesn’t get any better than this! Yet another fantastic slice of Iron history from Randy Roach. If I could give this book 10 stars I would.

    Just buy it!!

    This book is a must have for anyone into physical culture (i.e bodybuilding, fitness) or just anyone who wants to improve their health and wellness. This book offers something for everyone, and I can tell you after 15 plus years in the industry there were things I learned for the first time by reading this book. Randy and Tamas nailed it! This is a true labor of love, if you love health and fitness or know someone who loves health and fitness this book is a must have, it raises the bar for all other books of its kind.
