If You Actually Do It

The book makes sense and is straight forward. The first step is to actually read it. If you made it that far, get off your butt and do the routines consistently. You will get results.

Nothing new, nothing I hadn't seen in other better books with workout routines, not just "progressions". Only reason I read it was because it was free with Kindle Unlimited.
