Your “chicks, chicks, chicks” focus is pretty immature and REALLY turned me off. I really don’t need advice on how to pick up chicks, or that men should never wear pink shirts (do women run from men wearing pink shirts? Are pink shirts a “secret” code that indicates that you’re a wimp, a loser, a wus, or gay or something?).

I’m also wondering about Lou Schuler’s contribution, since he used to be fitness editor for “Men’s Fitness” magazine, which is is owned by Joe Weider, who has a stable of monstrously-huge juicer bodybuilders. I find myself unable to trust any advice from a Weider magazine (and question advice from anyone who worked for Weider).

Finally, does any of the advice in your book apply to men over 30, or are we “too old”? If it does apply to older men, I’d be interested in knowing what, if anything, we need to do differently than a 25 year old following your book.

It’s funny, Barry. For some reason a few people seem to assume that I advocate unsafe sex, objectifying women for sex, and that I only encourage training to “hook up.”

These are the same people who are doing what we were all told not to do when we were kids: judging a book by its cover.

I bet if people actually read the book before making an opinion and guessing what the content is they’d be a bit happier.

So use a condom.

That’s a tip guys, write it down.

If your motivation in getting fit is “hooking up”, you’re headed for trouble and your fitness goals will evaporate into thin air.
