Review by Rahul Alvares Maximum Weight Loss (MWL) is a very straightforward book on fat loss and general fitness. Written by Gary Matthews this book is not one for the hardcore, everyday training bodybuilder. In fact, it takes training timing, frequency and quantity to the other extreme; where the trainee only trains once per week, working only one exercise and one set per muscle each time! The book starts with notes on pretty regular stuff; pros and cons of weight training, fat loss facts, pros and cons of weight training both, in the gym and at home, weight loss myths and gimmicks, and frequently asked questions on training - Does muscle turn into fat once one stops exercising? If you're not sweating are you not burning fat? Etc. Once Gary moves to the training program however, you find that MWL is quite different from most other books on fat loss. I have already mentioned to you that you only strength train once per week. Adding to that the fact that you only perform one exercise per muscle, and one set per exercise, you realize that your workout hours are practically nil! I don't doubt Gary's knowledge of bodybuilding and fitness - I actually quite enjoyed most of MLW - but I somehow feel that this approach will not work with all trainees (especially serious bodybuilders who are already quite fit). Gary also makes a few statements, now and then, which don't seem quite right to me. For example, this is a paragraph I picked out from the book. - "Effective weight loss is the total amount of calories burned during the day. Not how or why they were burned. It doesn't matter if it is night or morning so exercise early in the day has no advantage to exercise later in the day." - I can tell you from my experience that exercising after an eight hour fast first thing in the morning, and exercising two hours after lunch, are two different things altogether. The
exercise description section - which has a good number of exercises
listed with pictures - has a few small errors also. Another example is the photograph for performing triceps dips in between two plastic chairs. How the model balances his entire weight holding on to the handles of the plastic chairs without them naturally caving in under him is something I am still marveling at. Otherwise most of the exercises are pretty safe, simple, and easy to perform. Exercises like standing pushups leaning on a wall are absolutely great for those who wouldn't perform a deadlift for the fear of straining their back! I have listed a few of topics dealt with in the book to give you a general idea about MWL. 1.
Stretching (good notes with photographs)
