Narration sounds like a Robot

Good information, however, the reader, sounds, as if, every few words, has a, comma or period. Horrendous cadence, with jerky rhythm. I've heard, this guy on YouTube. And he sounds normal. Why does he, sound so robotic, in the audiobook? As if, we can't, follow, his normal, speaking, voice. It. was. tough. to. get. through.

Complete Crap

The only thing more dangerous then someone who thinks they understand fitness is someone who thinks they can write.

This author is a fraud.

You may be swayed by his cavalier attitude and disrespect towards others in the fitness industry, but make no mistake this man is a fraud.

The book starts with the author telling you he has no education or prior training but does have "experience" This is bro science with a lab coat on.

Most of research he uses to support his claims is published by "pay to print" sources and university.

I did listen all the way through to find anything redeemable about the book or author but could not.

Spoiler alert: He tries to sell you on his line of supplements, apps, other books, webpage, etc. at the end.

Back to Basics: Lift Heavy, Eat Well..it will come

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I found this book when looking up how to build muscle while burning fat at the same time. Believe it or not there is very limited information let alone technique written about it as the mantra is that it is impossible to do. Mike Matthews lays it all out in laymen's terms what needs to be done by bringing it back to basics. This book, along with Arnold's "Total Recall," was the push I needed to get myself back in the weight room after almost 15 years. I'm 37 now and was tired of watching all of my peers complete marathons, Tough Mudders and the like while I slaved away at my job and atrophied to old man levels,watching my BFP rise and rise and feeling older by the day. While I've only been on the program for 3 months I've dropped 3% body fat and lost about 7 pounds, nothing drastic but a good start. I am still finding the right balance of macros (I'm hypothyroid) to see what works best for me. But my strength literally exploded almost immediately and I am now back to lifting what I was way back when, even more-so with legs. Muscle memory is REAL! One point that MM does not really go into is the sheer sense of accomplishment you feel when you are able to add on weight week after week. Granted, this will taper off but if there's anything that will keep you pumped that is it. I've been using the app Strong to track my lifts which has been a huge help and am just now getting into carb cycling to see if that may help with my carb intolerance. Great book with common sense ideas. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

It was great, now it is a sales pitch for Legion

First: I am a Mike Matthews fan, I follow him on socnets since 2015...I do not think there is a better program than this.

I had the previous audible version with a prpfessional reader. What a difference it makes! Mike is a fitness guru, but with him reading it I had to bump the reading speed to 1.5x.

And then the chapter where it turns out EVERY supplement company is not legit (this may be an exaggeration) except his own(this is just over selling). I do not think it was necessary.

If you ignore the fact that 75% of the new version of this audio is a sales pitch for his supplements then the program is a solid no BS way to get in the best shape of your life.

This book is a God send!

It was so excellent that I had to purchase a physical hard copy to take extensive notes and have ease of access with specific details. The information on food and supplements is possibly more vital than the workouts themselves. I struggle with my food cravings and tend to overeat often. After this read, it's been an excellent change!

Everything you need to know.

This is an outstanding book. I'm an experienced lifter and I thought I really understood how to create the body I wanted. However, this book really taught me a lot that I didn't know. It caused me to change my entire program and I've had amazing success. I think that this book will save anyone years of fruitless struggle and help you get the body you want. This book offers all the info your ever going to need to reach your goals. This book is amazing and I think people should really pick it up and follow the program to see for yourself.

My Muscle Bible

This was my first book of Mike's that I bought, and it's truly paid for itself multiple times over and over. I'll get to that in a moment.
If you're looking for a no-nonsense, motivating, inspiring book to help you quickly achieve your fitness goals, you've found it. I purchased the Audible version because I like to listen to books as I'm driving and/or mowing the lawn. I like to keep fit and healthy, and I'm always looking to pack on more muscle. One day before mowing the lawn, I searched for a new book to listen to while I was working outside. I'm glad I stumbled across this one.
As far as this book actually saving me money, his chapter on supplements is worth the cover price alone. If you're like me, you fell victim to supplement scams for years. Trying every hot new product, even though most of it wasn't backed up by any true science at all. Worst, these "new" prodcuts cost a fortune. Mike cuts through all the b.s. and lays it out straight. What works, what doesn't. What you need, what to skip. So I'm done wasting money on unproven products. Thanks so much Mike. This truly is my "Muscle Bible."

Very hard to comprehend info by listening

It might be a great book if I'd bought it printed. Listening it is not worth buying - same money, but too much talking.
If it were for a printed book, I could skip all the definitions and other useless things and just focus on the methodical part.

By listening, I didn't get much help - just same things I've been doing already. Better to buy this book in printed form, not audible

Disappointing

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

This should have never been made into an audio book. I've not seen it in print, but it reads like page after page of charts and tables. Format aside, there's nothing new here, wish I had my credit back.

Has Bigger Leaner Stronger turned you off from other books in this genre?

The book did not turn me off to fitness books, but I'll think twice before I get another one.
