Editorial Review:
Protein, and the amino acids of which it is composed, is an important part of athletes diets, and the subject of a great deal of discussion and controversy. Amino Acids and Protein for the AthleteThe Anabolic Edge is the first single volume devoted to this important topic. In addition to basic information about protein and amino acids, this very timely book describes the anabolic effects of high-protein diets, the values of different food proteins, the differences among various protein foods, the advantages of specific proteins, processes to maximize the value of protein, and the biological and pharmacological effects of certain amino acids. A world-caliber athlete for two decades, Dr. Di Pasquale has won the World Championship and dozens of national and international competitions, including the World Games, Pan American Games, North American Championships, and Canadian Championships, all in the game of powerlifting. Written by this recognized expert on sports nutrition, the book will appeal to both sports professionals who need to maximize strength and endurance and weekend warriors who want to understand the science behind the role of amino acids and protein in athletic performance.

Rating: - Excellent information
This book, while a bit technical, is not beyond the understanding of anyone with even the slightest knowledge of nutrition. It is comprehensive, well documented, and offers a total explanation about how protein and amino acids interact with exercise to promote muscular development. It is the best book on the subject in current existence.
Rating:  - A mediocre book without a Phd in the sciences
This book had good points and bad points.some of the information contained was applicable for self educated bodybuilders but unfortunately for the most part their was a plethora of technical information that is difficult to comprehend.I have the upmost admiration for mauro di pasquale but i feel this book was written with medical practitioners in mind and not average bodybuilders
Rating: - A Must Read For All Athletes Wanting That Extra Edge
Not just what to take but how and when to take it. You must learn when and how to take supplements for them to benifit you.
