I have been following Nick Tumminello on Facebook for a couple of years now and even had the privilege of hearing him speak at a recent fitness conference. He is one of the most well-respected and innovative coaches in the fitness industry. I have learned so much from him during this time and was extremely excited when I found out his book Strength Training for Fat Loss was coming out. This book is phenomenal!!! He takes scientific-based programming and translates it into straightforward advice and practical exercise programs designed for people at all levels of fitness from beginner to advanced. The exercises are explained in EXCELLENT detail along with pictures so that anyone who is unfamiliar with any of the exercises can learn to perform them quickly and easily. The circuits, complexes, and combinations he puts together in this book will help anyone who wants to lose fat, build muscle, improve strength, and feel awesome. I am looking forward to utilizing these workouts in a lot of my own training, as well in the programming for my clients that I train at my gym. Finally, Nick does an excellent job of providing simple and straightforward nutrition advice and strategies important in any fat loss program. No gimmicks, no silly miracle hypes, no detoxes or cleanses... just proven scienced-based nutritional information. Thanks Nick for putting out a QUALITY fitness book that is sure to help so many people reach their health and fitness goals. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple yet creative
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2014

I've been following Nick's Facebook page for a little while, but I've never met him real life. I work as a trainer and a massage therapist in Clackamas, a suburb of Portland, Oregon. When I saw that Nick came out with this book, I decided to purchase the Kindle edition to see what I would learn. I like his no nonsense approach when it comes to the claims and propaganda that are pushed in the fitness industry, so I thought the book would be worth the purchase. Plus the gym where I work is CPC Fitness and Fat Loss where our main goal is strength training and HIIT, so I felt the purchase was pretty appropriate.

And it most definitely was.

I don't think I learned anything too crazy, but that's because I've been at this for a while, but he is straightforward and logical with his approach and I appreciate that in this book. He provides tons of exercise examples and templates for not only the workouts, but the warm ups and cool downs. I felt like this book opened a can of creativity worms for me a little and I just sat down and wrote 4 warm-ups using 8 different exercise for each warm up using both the exercises Nick provides in this book combined with other warm up movements that I use, with the option to write at least 3 more just by varying the exercises and maybe adding in a few more. And that doesn't even go into how many potential exercise templates I could create with the approximately 20 he provides, along with variations of those with the addition of other exercises I know and use. This is sort of a gold mine in that sense. I appreciate the work that was put into this and the renewed spark for adding that layer of creativity to my programs.

Thank you, coach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read

I've been following Nick Tumminello for years now. As a personal trainer, I really do believe he is the 'trainer of trainers'. I have always learnt so much from his products, but this book was exceptional.
I think this book is absolutely fantastic. It can be used for any level of knowledge, from absolute beginner, to and advanced trainer. I love that this book is easy to read, to the point, direct and honest. Having followed and watched Nick and having heard him in interviews for so long, my favourite part about this book is that I can actually hear him as if he were talking to me, it's not just words on a page. There's actually personality in how and what he writes. Love it.
The exercises and programs are great and can be used for close to anyone. The pictures are easy to follow and understand, with great explanations to everything.
All round, I feel Nick has done a great job in providing us with as much knowledge as possible. Would highly recommend this book for not only trainers, but anyone interested in health and fitness.
Good work Nick. You should be really proud.

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2014

I like the exercise circuits and advice, free weights and bars. No instructions with exercise machines. The pictures are helpful, respect the body, modest females. The book is an encouraging,instructional manual. One weakness is showing perfect form but not giving tips on how to achieve (or what perfect form) feels like on specific muscles.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gutes Konzept, aber ein Paradebeispiel für überflüssige Redundanz
Reviewed in Germany on May 12, 2018
Verified Purchase
Die 3 Cs sind der Kern dieses Buchs: Circuits, Combinations und Complexes. Kombinationen von Übungen, die man in verschiedenen Reihenfolgen hintereinander abarbeitet, könnte man auch sagen. Die meisten Übungen sind grundlegende Übungen, ein paar sind forgtgeschrittene Kombinationen wie der Turkish Getup, aber letztendlich nichts neues. Das Buch ist mit gutem Schulenglisch und ein paar kratftrainingsspezifischen Fremdsprachenkenntnissen flüssig zu lesen.
Typische amerikanische Literatur mit ihren mehrfachen Wiederholungen derselben Aussagen sollte man allerdings schon gewohnt sein, den dieses Buch treibt es auf die Spitze: Die Übungen werden erklärt, und dann in jeder Trainingsabfolge nochmal. Kommen sie dort mehrfach vor, dann mehrmals. Beispielsweise gibt es einen Complex, in dem mehrere Übungen immer abwechselnd mit einem Farmer' s Walk ausgeführt werden. Übung 1, Farmer's Walk mit Erklärung und Bildern. Übung 2 mit Erklärung. Übung 3, Farmer' s Walk, erneut mit textgleicher Erklärung der Übung. Nur die Bilder hat man weggelassen. Übung 4 mit Erklärung, Übung 5 - Sie ahnen es schon: : Farmer's Walk, erneut mit Erklärung. Und so weiter. Auf diese Weise bekommt man auch beispielsweise den Barbell Squat (Kniebeuge mit Langhantel) bestimmt 8 bis 10 Mal im Buchz erklärt; jedes Mal textgleich, mit Bildern. Würde man die Kapitel des Buchs zusammenfassen und für die Übungen auf eine Erläuterung im Anhang verweisen, dann hätte man zwei Drittel Papier gespart und den Leser nicht bis aufs äußerste gelangweilt. Will man sinnvollen Inhalt ergänzen, wären typische Fehlerquellen und mehr Ansichten bei den Übungen viel hilfreicher gewesen als immer wiederkehrende Textbausteine, weil es sich bei den meisten Übungen doch um sehr komplexe Übungen handelt, die sich der Anfänger erst erarbeiten muß - am besten unter Aufsicht.
Fazit: Wie soll man einen mit Wasser aufs doppelte verdünnten Eintopf bewerten, der an sich ganz gute Zutaten hätte? Nicht schlecht; nicht mehr, nicht weniger. Wäre das Buch entweder kürzer oder ausführlicher, hätte es mindestens 4 Sterne verdient.
