                          Book Description

                          "I can honestly tell you that I would have become a champion at least a year sooner if I had had Supercut as a reference book when I started pumping iron." -- from the Foreword by Lee Haney, Mr. Olympia "State-of-the-art in every detail." -- Fred Hatfield Supercuts presents the most successful diet programs and nutrition strategies for achieving maximum muscularity and superior definition as evidenced by the world's greatest bodybuilders. The best weight-loss and weight-gain diets are described, as are how they fit into a cycle-training program for year-round benefits (before and after a contest). The wise use of food supplements, including protein, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, is thoroughly discussed in this book. Supercut is highlighted with nutrition secrets and tips from the greats of bodybuilding--Rachel McLish, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, Dr. Franco Columbo, Laura Combes, Candy Csencsits, Samir Bannout, and a host of others. Every aspect of the role nutrition plays in their winning training efforts is covered, including favorite recipes for healthful dining. Recipes for vegetable dishes, salads, poultry and dairy-product meals, fish dishes, meat, rice/potato/pasta/grain dishes, and desserts--more than 200 of them, each with calorie counts--are provided. Week-long meal plans incorporating these recipes provide examples of how to reduce caloric intake gradually and safely without affecting increased training efforts. Joyce L. Vedral, PhD, fitness and nutrition expert, is the bestselling author of The Fat Burning Workout: From Fat is Firm in 24 Days and Gut Busters: The Ten-Minute-a-Day, 12-Week Plan. Bill Reynolds is the author of numerous books on weight training and bodybuilding, including Weight Training for Beginners and The Gold's Gym Training Encyclopedia.

                          1 out of 5 stars Horrible.......2002-12-09

                          This book, was undoubtly my worst investment. My friend and I read this book and it helped us only in the way of supercuting our time and our pocketbook. From an obviously poorly written book, comes content that is just hard to comprehende. Trust me, save your money, because this book is horrible.

                          4 out of 5 stars SUPERCUT: NUTRITION FOR THE ULTIMATE PHYSIQUE.......2000-04-25

                          I PURCHASED THIS BOOK BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR A COOKBOOK TO USE WHEN PREPARING MY MEALS. THIS BOOK GIVES YOU PLENTY OF INFORMATION ON HOW TO PREPARE MEALS FOR BODYBUILDERS. EACH RECIPE GIVES YOU A LISTING OF NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION AS WELL AS SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO SPICE UP YOUR DIET BUT STILL WANT HEALTHY FOOD, I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

                          5 out of 5 stars Complete and easy to use.......2000-03-26

                          I just purchased this book after searching for a cookbook appropriate to bodybuilders. The information included in the beginning chapters focus on training splits, sample exercises for every bodypart, and how nutrition impacts a bodybuilders' physique. Although there is some focus on weight-gain, most of it can be tailored to fit someone looking for strength and tone without bulk. The recipes that follow are simple yet tasty, and they don't use a lot of complicated ingredients, which is great for those on the run. A fitting addition to any fitness enthusiasts' collection.

                                3 out of 5 stars VERY SMALL BOOK.......2007-01-04

                                For the cost and for what you get, it is just not worth it. A few pages of pictures and a few instructions.

                                            Gene Logsdon's story embodies both the frustrations and longing so many of us feel as we search for our essential selves and a harmonious life. The measure of his courage -- and contrariness -- is that he has been successful. In You Can Go Home Again, he tells us what motivated him and what success has meant.

                                            For Logsdon, to create a "home" is not to escape from the world, but to establish a nexus of people, all working together to produce a home-based economy as a bulwark of stability under the larger economy gone crazy with paper money. "Home" is a local community tied to other local communities. But mostly Logsdon's philosophy must be read between the lines. What he writes about are the sad, funny, and sometimes harrowing adventures of those who live seemingly humdrum lives: understanding creeks; shepherding sheep; coping with blizzards; winning softball tournaments; losing sanity at rock concerts; hiding in haystacks; enjoying Christmas; surviving a buggy ride; overcoming grief, not to mention absentminded professors, dictatorial editors, and fervid priests; and why it might not be a bad idea to go to church in our underwear. What transpires is an inspiring picture of a very American life.

                                            4 out of 5 stars Makes me homesick but not a how to. The how to is up to you........2006-08-29

                                            This book is about the idea that we can go back to a slow, sane and thoughtful way of life. The story is autobiographical and describes the life of the author in a rural area of north western Ohio. He leaves home to train for the priesthood but decides that he isn't cut out for it. He goes home for a while, goes to college, gets married, moves to Philly to write for Farm Journal, sells a book and moves onto a small farm near his folks' old place. He's been there ever since.

                                            The book is peppered with stories about life of small town people and farmers. He also writes about how economic interests in this country have made some ways of life very touch and go. It was very familiar to me because that is where I grew up. Logsdon writes about the 1978 blizzard, an event of note that is still spoken of around there. The great strength of this book can be brought out in this particular story. Mr. Logsdon recounts how he, his family and his neighbors made it through a storm that had shut the electricity for several days and the temperature plunged down well below zero. The people that were the best off were his elderly neighbors that heated with wood and made their food on a cook stove. Much of what is in this book is about having an independent spirit and thinking for your self about what makes sense and not what the supposed experts say. Going home is portrayed both literally and metaphorically. Our real home is the simple and wise way of life that considers how we can live in this world with destroying it. Home is where you can make it.

                                            My one complaint of this book is that there are some issues with living in rural areas that the author doesn't write about. Like all places there are social issues. A person that wants to move into a rural area and has no experience in these sorts of places should spend a little time vacationing in their perspective home and talking to the people there.

                                            I grew up and my parents still live in Forest, Ohio that is mentioned in this book. An earlier reveiwer mentioned about rural land being expensive. That's true if you are buying rural land in California, Vermont or Washington. In Northwestern, Ohio you can get farm land for $5000 an acre or less depending on the ground itself. An average house in the towns that are written about in this book go for less than $100,000.

                                            5 out of 5 stars The Contrary's Farmer Autobiography.......2003-04-02

                                            Gene Logsdon has published his autobiography. Telling the story of his life - from farm boy to the Roman Catholic seminary, studying for the priesthood, dropping out, graduate school, and editor of a farm magazine and finally back to Ohio - he describes how his life comes to a circle. He returned to the good life of his childhood - at least almost. As a witness of the great change in agriculture, he feels a little bit like the last of the dinosaurs, one of the last generation who grew up on a traditional farm before agrobusiness destroyed the culture of rural America. Logdson does not present great programmes, but he has rather chosen to change his life by living an alternative life and work for in his home area for a resurgence of rural America. With his writings he nevertheless exercised a great influence. If you have enjoyed any of Logsdon's books, are interested into rural living and agrarian thought, this book is definitely worthwile reading.

                                            5 out of 5 stars We're doing it -- Coming home.......2000-02-24

                                            I *am* going home again. After nearly 20 years in Texas, my family is moving back to Ohio. We feel that call that Gene Logsdon describes so movingly, hilariously. Now, most people, considering the fact that we are doing it by going first and finding jobs later, think we are certifiable. How wonderful to read Gene's work and find encouragement in values that go beyond acquisition and comfort. We're college [over]educated and employable, and jobs are the least of our worries.

                                            Gene's book talks about home, care, a sense of place. When a place where eleven generations have called home calls you back, you have to listen, and that's why we're going. We have a "10-year plan" -- we're lucky enough to be starting out on some acreage on my Dad's farm. And will build from there. My child and my brother's children will be able to cross the pasture to visit each other and their grandparents.

                                            Will we be self-sufficient? Of course not. What does that mean anyway? People are too "self-sufficient" as it is. I want to live someplace where I can depend on people (in all the right senses of the word). We'll grow some vegetables and berries, raise some chickens and have a good time doing it. I dream grandiosely of a cow or maybe three goats (I want to name them Gina, Lola and Brigitta, but my husband is pushing for "Shot Clock I, II, & III" [he spends a lot of time statting basketball games!]) I pour over Lehman's catalogues. It's fun to plan.

                                            I think that's where reviewer "trailboss" below misses Gene's point. I've read everything of Gene's that I can lay my hands on (too much is out of print! ), and one point he repeatedly emphasizes is that this is not about subsistence farming. There's more than "survival" to it or it wouldn't be worth last week's supermarket strawberries.

                                            Gene never claims that you can find Total Peace, Contentment and Happiness and on a homestead. If you don't have some of that before you start, then disappointment is inevitable.

                                            Going home is about place, people, and good dirt. That's the saving grace of it. Not making a "profit" on it, not becoming Organically Pure, or worshipping Gaia. Of course, you can do all those things, but the home and the dirt is the start of it.

                                            And the softball. Former high school first-base ace here! Since we're moving to southern Richland County, Ohio, I hope we get to meet Gene and the boys in a softball tournament somewhere, sometime! In the meantime, Gene, keep pestering your publishers about reprints. :)

                                            5 out of 5 stars Uncommonly gutsy and intimate.......2000-01-17

                                            I just finished the book.

                                            Reading the other reviews, one gets the feeling that they were reading different books. It reminds me of the Indian folktale of the four blind men and the elephant. Actually, I like the Persian version better: where three men encounter the elephant on a very dark night. The fourth man brings a candle. Ultimately, the Persian story is a story of redemption and salvation. And so is You Can Go Home.

                                            This book is likely to cause discomfort to those have a very high need for order. Sometimes we (the Hecksel's) have guests on short notice. When that happens, we make the house suitable for company by taking all the clutter-of-life and pitching it into one of the bedrooms...the one with the lock, of course. Gene's book is a personal guided tour of that room. Great fun for those who love stories and antiques. Pain for those who crave a completely deterministic approach to life.

                                            Gene is gutsy because he talks about religion. Gene is doubly gutsy for talking about money. Americans are funny people. We will tell total strangers of our sexual conquests before ordering our second drink, but not tell our CPA the true extent of our wealth & earnings. Go figure.

                                            We are rich in proportion to what we do not need.

                                            Mr. Logsdon's book, although, "nice" and romantic as a read is flawed in it's premise that somehow, despite sky rocketing real estate costs for rural land, etc. that we can somehow go back to the land and earn a living. It seems that Mr. Logsdon's need to write to support himself and his wife belies the very notion he argues. Having tried, myself, to find land at a reasonable cost, having been launched a number of years ago by this author and others of the same bent, I found nothing but frustration and disappointment.

                                            Mr. Logsdon would leave one to believe that all large scale farmers are without brains and that they choose to ignore the profits of small scale farming. Instead, I believe that Mr. Logsdon has closed his eyes to the hard realities that land values require large scale farming and that he fails to prove, other than in a romantic yearning only, that we can truly "Go Home Again". Truly, I wish it were so...unfortunately, unless you are Amish you cannot afford to.

                                            The book leaves one with a warm feeling despite its flawed premise. The book could be shortened with less diabtribe about old villages or softball teams.

                                            I bought the book still holding onto a waning desire to find "the way" to go home again myself only to realize that his book, likely unwittingly, provides many of the reasons why we can't go home again despite the desire to do so...and that is sad and unfortunate.
