Tom Brady (1)Reseñas

This book was a solid book because it shows the constant work that is put in by Tom to do what he does each and every day. He eats very healthy and exercises often. This book also shows the amount of work he put in to get to the level he is at today and what he needs to do to sustain it.

Okay...this is an extended infomercial, but he's playing at an MVP level at age 40 in a sport that has a half-life of what? 3-4 years? Thought I'd check it out.

Seemed like a lot of voodoo in the beginning, but I have to admit, he wore me down. Pliability. Say that 10,000 times fast. (He did.) "Lengthen and soften" - muscles, folks...get with the program! Sports improvement relies on repetition. Books, however, are hurt by it. And there is a lot of repetition. Often within a page or two, or even on the same page. But...he tries to get his points across. He's a smart guy...odd that he never struck me as religious, but seems to be.

I don't doubt his lifestyle and regimen have the positive benefits he touts. I also don't doubt that I'll never give up coffee or good craft beer, nor will I be hyper-focused on workouts.

But...A lot of what he says about the wrong approach to strength training makes sense to me. I think I'm going to give that pliability a shot.
