Burke's Law: A New Fitness Paradigm for the Mature Male

This book is what genius really is. Paul Burke lived, breathed, ate, sweated, and lifted weights and built his body from the time he was twelve years old and continues to do so today at 49. Looking at least a decade younger, with a physique that many have said, "would make Arnold take notice," Burke has brought his world famous knowledge to the table in a complete script that involves everything from how you, the middle-aged man, can not only look your best, but do it without drugs, without injury, without gimmicks; just by following a guide set out for you to design your own routine according to your muscular-skeletal structure, your metabolism, your genetics and the test of physical and mental spirit.

a. This is a book designed to walk you through the steps of weight training history; showing you along the way how, what Burke calls, "The Old Paradigm" has been taken and passed along for decades and continues to plague men to this day so as to make it nearly impossible for them to make health and fitness progress. He takes the weight training and fitness field and says, "no" to hours and hours in the gym, "no" to using drugs to enhance the body, "no" to strict "diets," "no" to all that we know to be "the way"; and he turns it upside down, shakes it up and comes up with a plan that he guarantees any man can make a phenomenal physique at any age with no more than five hours a week of exercise; with an abundance of good and easy to purchase food and a new specialized training method that accounts for each individual's subtle joint differences and, what he calls, finding your own "bio-mechanical leverage advantages" and sticking with them until form of these exercises is so perfect for each person's body that all they have to do is maximize their potential by enhancing their anaerobic capacity by training a specifically designed way that Burke lays out in simple terms.

b. Then, he takes you through the advent of plant and animal domestication; tells you how it ruined the course of natural human evolution and from this, he deduces, that only certain foods can be eaten in order to stabilize insulin and other vital hormones; while telling you how much and what to eat according to your lean muscle mass.

c. Burke also teaches you how to slow the aging process down. He does this by explaining the evolution of man and how we differ from our Paleolithic ancestors and how we might get back to being muscular and lean all the way through your life without any secrets other than good sound nutrition; some very interesting supplements and utilizing his new-found Law of fitness execution.

The book covers it all and it is straight to the point. Whether you are going through "Andropause" or you're on your way to be 90 years old, he can show you how to look and feel fantastic. Want to look and feel fantastic right now? Buy Burke's Law and never buy another fitness or nutrition book again.

2Confused?  Jan 29, 2007
By Steven L. Lund "Trolllund"
I was disappointed and confused after I finished reading this book. While Mr Burkes' enthusiasm is infectious, I found myself saying "what do I do now?" The book discusses "Finding your own range of motion", and "Training instinctively", but only a few specific examples on certain exercises. I don't feel I have enough information to now go and create my own routine, as directed to in the book.

5relevant and modern  Nov 14, 2006
By Anthony W. Bussler II
Many, in fact most, of the training information written and available, whether it's a book or a newsstand magazine, are written with a younger audience in mind...to witness the "Masters Class" category of building which starts at the age of 35.

Anyone interested in starting training after that age was left to founder around in information written with younger, often chemically enhanced, readers in mind. Certainly a recipe for unavoidable injuries or, at least, a good deal of time wasted in the gym and on daily macronutrient intake.

Along comes Paul Burke's book which sets basically everything on it's ear.

Outlined are training schedules for weightlifting, bodywork other than weights with the focus of mobility and longevity in mind and a method of creating a dietary plan that guarantees stable energy levels, fat loss and strength gains. To call the book sensible makes it seen average and boring...it is anything but that. It is much overdue new thinking and action for anyone over forty looking to start training and would prove an invaluable time and money saver for trainers of any age willing to tune out the current glut of misguided routines, eating patterns and unachievable goals. A willingness to follow a plan that at first glance would seem to simple to be effective is all that is necessary. No gimmicks or miracles...just hard work, determination balanced with active rest.

Burke also shares details of his personal medical struggles and how they have been held at bay through his continuing efforts. These make all the more potent his message and how it can apply to anyone.

I can wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend this book to anyone, man or woman. It is money well spent.

5Great help  Jun 19, 2008
By Richard S. Annunziata
I have read Paul's book and knew instinctively he was absolutely correct. His training methodology does not emphasize how much more weight I can lift today but about form and technique. It is geared not just for those over 40 but for everyone. I really appreciate Paul's honesty about drug use in the industry and also how we can all reach our potential without using drugs. Muscle and fitness magazine routines or the latest craze will not work but will probably hurt you. Paul teaches about the uniqueness of our genetics and a routine has to be tailored to those genetics. I would tell any serious lifter to pay the money and use this guy, you WILL NOT be disappointed. I have had the opportunity to get training with Paul one on one. Simply put it was worth 10 times what I paid. It has revolutionized my training. I owe an awful lot to Paul

5Paul Burke Breaks The Mold And Finally Tells The Truth  Nov 28, 2007
By C. Sproule
I have trained for over 20 years. Being both a Competitive bodybuilder and Jiu Jitsu Instuctor I have seen just about every training modality. All have left me sore and overtrained. Burke's Law finally shed some light on how REAL people train who don't need dangerous drugs and want to feel great well into their senior years. In fact, I enjoyed the book so much that I contacted him personally and had him construct an EXACT regimen for me that included everything I wanted to get better at!

I could only give this book 5 stars because that's all the rating would allow. It's really an 11. It truly has changed the way I look at exercise and how I feel every single day.

5The Definitive source to building and maintaining a great body: Naturally!  Jun 05, 2006
By Michael D. Baugh
This is a great book for anyone wanting to begin body builing, or take it to the next level, Naturally! Paul Burke is an amazing individual who walks the walk. He shares with his readers the history of the sport, as well as current trends. The book goes on to explain how to custom fit a program of exercises to your particular body type, deal with and prevent injuries common to body building, and of course, eating to build muscle and burn that fat! Paul has a great website (www.Paul-Burke.com) to provide additional information about his methods of training. If you had to buy just one book on the subject, this is it!
