Reviews
Nick Tumminello is an innovator in the fitness field. His combination of scientific knowledge and practical experience make him a go-to guy for getting results from a fitness program, as displayed in Your Workout PERFECTED. Highly recommended reading. Brad Schoenfeld, PhD-Author of The M.A.X. Muscle Plan and Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy It's hard to think of anyone who consistently contributes as much valuable information as Nick Tumminello. Your Workout PERFECTED showcases his unique ability to reveal how much we don't know about strength training-and how much we do know that's either inaccurate or antithetical to our goals. Lou Schuler-Award-Winning Fitness Journalist, LouSchuler.com There are just a few trainers in the industry who are creative enough to come up with new ideas that get used around the world. Nick is one of those guys, and he constantly leaves me saying to myself, "Now why didn't I think of that?" Bret Contreras, PhD, CSCS,*D-Owner of Glute Lab, Author of Strong Curves and Bodyweight Strength Training Anatomy Nick Tumminello is kind of a pain in the butt. You can't just say, "Hey, Nick, what do you think of this exercise?" No, he'll analyze it, research it, conduct 101 experiments on it, and then he'll show you about a dozen ways to make it better. It's really quite annoying. He gets away with it because he's damn near always right. TC Luoma-Editor of Testosterone Nation If you're looking for accurate and scientifically backed information, quality workouts that are interesting and fun, and programs that are designed by someone who walks the walk and trains real people, you need not look any further than Nick Tumminello. It's been my pleasure to know him and learn from him for the past decade; he's the real deal. Cassandra Forsythe, PhD, RD, CSCS-Professor of Exercise Science, Author, and Mom
