- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Very repetitive. It his frustrating because he does not go very further in his arguments. He says pliability so many times, it is annoying! BTW audio quality is great.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love that Tom read a lot of his book. It really put some things in perspective for me about my own personal health as just a mom who wants to stay fit and have energy to play with my kids!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Se repite mas que el ajo. Hay cosas utiles! pero infumable lectura
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really liked the book a lot, and it may just be my favorite book ever now.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5talks a lot about pliability. has general fitness and dietary suggestions.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The secret to all victory lies in the organisation of the non-obvious. Thanks to the author for sharing illuminating aspects of his lifestyle that have led to sustained peak performance and success. One big secret- Pliability
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I bought this book for my husband but I ended up reading it as well. I thought it had good information, some interesting new perspective and information about pliability however I found that it repeated itself far to much to the point where I wanted to skip chapters. I don't think I will read it again in a hurry.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Terribly repetitive and superficial. Pseudoscience and real basics in most areas
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book is a waste of time and is promoting junk science.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/51. Become the Greatest QB of all time 2. Cheat
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Okay...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.
