The Incredible Hulk.......2007-06-04

I love the fact that she gives solutions on off-setting 'figure flaws' like thick ankles (yep, I've got cankles) and wide-waist (check). I hate that fact that she does, indeed, carry on about herself-and on and on... I'm all for self-esteem but this is definite absorption. Also, I find her huge man-like appearence in some of the photos to be unsettling. It's like a female Hulk-bulging biceps, wide and broad back, and at times, I felt all her chest was missing was a mass of curly hair. Not what most 'normal' women aspire to. I think the happy medium here is toned, muscled but still retaining curves (zero-fatigue ratio, is how I believe she refers to it). Seeing her bulked up is just the type of visual that deters women from lifting any concernable weight, whatsoever. Her extremely low recommendations of body fat % were also unfeasible (and dangerous). So to sum things up: be prepared for extreme self-importance on the author's part, manly muscles and some questionable health advice-just focus on the exercises themselves, and you should be on the right track to building that "Supervixen"-ish figure.

Training for females.......2007-02-10

Best book on training for females hands down. Although I think the set total are unrealistic for the average trainer the techniques are awesome.

In depth, Fully Illustrated and Fun To Read.......2005-08-07

I love this book. I have bought several muscle scultping books for women, and this is the most in depth by far.

I love how she made great jokes and stories in the book to keep readers amused and encouraged. Also the illustrations and photos are great!! I like how she tries to look cute and stylish while sqatting. Only a SUPERvixen could do that!

This book is the first only book to address my biggest issue. My lack of rear-end!! Through Supervixen, I am currently working on dveloping a beautiful, round curve from my flat butt.

This book is a great addition to women's weight training books. Even if you didn't follow her weight training recommendations, her discussion/celebration of ALL of the curves that make up a woman's body is inspiring and worth reading (rather than just rear end and breast curves - she goes into the calf curve, the lower back curve, etc.) It requires a balanced workout to achieve symmetry. She definitely speaks from a woman who KNOWS what she is doing. What I get from her is that she honors the female body. She also dispenses practical knowledge of how to increase those curves and zero in on trouble spots that we all struggle with - and also helps you determine what your body type is and what you need. Okay, here's an example of one of her million dollar secrets. She maintains that "saddlebags" generate from the quads, not from the butt, as I'd always thought. She recommends these grueling 6" foot placement full down squats as a remedy - I've been doing these for a month now, and bingo! This trouble spot I've been working on for 1-1/2 years is disappearing (thanks also to my increased cardio, 5x a week), and I'm developing great shape to my legs. I ran her concepts by my personal trainer/friend at my gym and he said, "Yep! It's all about the angles!" I can't believe the difference it makes, the simple foot placement on squats or leg presses, and it does change the exercise. ALSO - regarding her comments about men looking at her curves - I have a completely different take on this. She isn't flaunting herself, she is speaking lightly of the male instinct to follow curves with their eyes (I have curves, and I KNOW this happens - no ego necessary, it's just the way males are designed)- she's just discussing the power of symmetry, not how great she is. (Come on, ladies, don't you notice great symmetry on a man? I do!) She writes in a humorous, pull-no-punches style. I wouldn't recommend this book for a first beginner (try Body for Life for this). However, if you're looking to detail out, it's a great resource unlike any I've found. While I find the cover photo a bit daunting (very buff and pumped up, almost male-like physique - but that's cool, we can all look like we want to).....I love her curved look inside - definitely a strong and powerful woman. I didn't really use this book for her nutritional advice - much of her tips are common sense things, though I eat differently than her meal plans. A good addition to your weight training library, I believe Negrita shares more secrets than you'll get elsewhere.

The Best Book for Women - PERIOD.......2004-03-14

I have a shelf full of weight training books, some of them are quite good, but this book is the BEST. While there are many books that will show you how to strengthen your upper body and lower body, overtime, they do not address the fact that you have to begin to isolate smaller areas and make small adjustments to your form (such as positioning your foot in or outward) in order to achieve maximum results, meaning to get really toned, cut, and overcome figure flaws. This is hard work, to be sure. And some of the exercises in this book, should not be attempted, in my opinion, until basic muscle mass has been built, so I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner. But, for someone who has been training consistently and wants to take her body to the next level, this is the book for you, and if you work it, you will make heads turn!

I also like the fact that the author points out figure flaws, that are obvious to so many of us self conscious women, but few weight training authors address: flat calves, thick ankles, thick waists, and she admits that while some of these things are genetic and cannot be changed, you can with hard work and the proper adjustments to your program, alter these muscles slightly, and alter surronding muscles to make lessen the appearance of figure flaws. The author shows you exactly how to do this!

For those Amazon reviewers who take offense to the author's high regard for her attractivness, I see nothing wrong with confidence and she has earned it! I wish more women, would take this attitude, stop comparing themselves to genetically mutant models and go to the gym and change what they don't like. I found her writing inspirational, and her advanced knowledge of weight training better than any of the Joyce Vedral and the rest!
