Want to congratulate Kris Gethin for getting his book into the Amazon Top 120 of all books sold there. I have known Kris for a while, and he is an all around good guy, plus he is the editor-in-chief of bodybuilding.com

Local Boise business owner, Ryan DeLuca, inspires best-selling book Body by Design with the Internet’s most-visited bodybuilding and fitness site, Bodybuilding.com. A bestseller on Amazon’s Exercise and Fitness, Healthy Living, and Weight Loss categories, Body by Design is a revolutionary 12-week diet and exercise program backed by real-life success stories.
A certified authority in health and fitness, Bodybuilding.com is home to BodySpace, the world’s leading online fitness community offering a powerful blend of motivational, informational, and nutritional resources to over 690,000 members.
Ryan discovered his passion for bodybuilding early on as a student at Fairmont Junior High, and it has been a major part of his life ever since. After searching the Internet and bulletin boards about bodybuilding, Ryan discovered there was an opportunity to provide information and products to people across the world with the click of a button. Little did he know, he would soon become award-winning CEO of the world‘s largest online retailer of nutritional supplements, and be help over 7.5 million people a month achieve their health, fitness and appearance goals.
Ryan created more than a business; he created a fitness revolution by providing over 25,000 pages of videos, nutritional diets, training plans, virtual personal training, an encyclopedia of exercises, and articles from top industry experts – all for free. Before Bodybuilding.com, this had never been done before. With the tremendous success of the website, Ryan received numerous requests from customers for an inexpensive, easy-to-use book that broke down the top information Bodybuilding.com had to offer. He, along with Bodybuilding.com Editor-In-Chief Kris Gethin, and global publishing house Simon & Schuster, spent the past year creating just that – Body by Design was born.
Body by Design isn’t your ordinary New Year’s transformation book. It begins changing you from the inside out, starting with the very thoughts in your head and working its way to the muscles on your body and the food on your plate. Body by Design harnesses the power of motivation and community to turn health and fitness goals into realities. It’s not a New Year’s transformation – it’s a forever transformation.

Thank you, Ron. Body by Design took up many late nights and weekends but it was well worth it. I even managed to get Lift Studios to the gym at 5am to shoot the exercise demo images. Now the fun begins.
We managed to debut on Amazon at #57 and we are currently #2 under "weight loss"
-
Great - another breakthrough on how to pick up weights and lift...
-
i might buy it, i have some store credit at barnes and noble.

Trenbolina, mastorona, equipona and gh to muuuuuuuutate! Fellas we all do it! IF YOU WANT 200+ 75 LOOOK WITH MUSCLE FULLNESS, ROUNDED SHOULDER MUTATION. hgh a must, eat all the time

Nice - 5am in the morning - now that is dedication to shoot. Can't wait to get my copy, from some of the people who got it and are ready it, they are enjoying it - especially being inspired.

I love how bodybuilding.com end fitness howtos with phrases like "pick out which shoes you will wear to the olympics"
is this program revolutionary? In same sense as body by science? There is nothing here I can find in another book like one by frank sepe?

At the last count, over 100's per day were being sold on Amazon alone, not including all the major book stores ;)

Lot of impressionable teenagers out there. What exactly differentiates your waste of tree life from the other trillion books about training?
-
kris i usually eat my cheescake while reading fitness books at the barnes and noble cafe-i would like to make your book one of the ones i read
when will it hit stores??
-
Let me guess, YOU bought a bunch of copies yourself to boost the Amazon rating! ;)
Everything in bodybuilding: all smoke and mirrors, all lies and deception. :D
Gethin's body: tons of primo quality growth hormona. Which you won't read about in the book.
-
I got it for Xmas,
There are some great photos showing how to correctly perform the exercises, some fantastic motivational stories from Kris' past and a valuable recipe section to help you spice up a dull diet.
Great book

yeah dude- he gave you the " Superstar Treatment" big time
I dunno- for a guy who supposedly want to "help people", he does come off as a bit pompous not answering your question
-
Yes, I am pompous - I'm from the UK ;)
I assumed that the NaturalWonders questions was a joke like the rest of ya'll, especially considering the basis of the thread posted by Ron (book already released.
You forgot Douche #5
-
The guy is ripped to shreds.
A good book for the average person starting out.
For those into serious Strength Training I recommend Iron Nation.
(But Kris's book does have its place for many).
