Don't buy this book...

The author goes on and on about the R4 recovery system, which is patented, of course you will find R4 attached to the name of an athletic recovery drink.

I bought this book, but wish I hadn't. It's a very long (and expensive) brochure for a product that I am certain the author has some sort of financial interest in.

Nothing too useful in here, nothing brilliant at all.

Sounds like advertising to me.

Maybe this book is accurate. Maybe.

I cannot find any other research studies on this topic, expect thru the "Endurox".

The author seems to think the only way to deliver his claims is thru a "sport drink" ... which he repeated so many times as to put a red flag up for me.

I did some research on the web, and found that the author has licensed the "R4" formula to the makers of the powered "Endurox". Of course, if it is in print, it must be true, right? =)

In any case, I would like to see results of a study not associated with the author or the powdered drink maker.

I am just a bit skeptical, but if it works, this may be a great thing for all of us.

Excellent explanation of the recovery process!

Have you ever had a really hard workout and planned for at least one day of being sore only to find yourself ready to go the next day? If you want probable answers to these questions, read this book. Burke offers a great explanation of what happens to your muscles during the stress and recovery phases of exercise, and offers great advice on how recover with the most efficiency. If you're interested in finding out more about the science of recovery, this is a must read.
