As a fitness enthusiast I was excited to read Joe's book to get the lowdown on the exact program he used to get his phenomenal results. And while he provides lots of great insight into his background and motivational tidbits, the details he provides of the program itself are lacking in some key areas, to the point that it makes the program incomplete and less than useful for actual implementation.
First, the good. Joe does outline the set and rep schemes to be used for each exercise, and the rest periods, and the book provides excellent photos and descriptions of how each exercise is to be performed.
Unfortunately, he leaves out a few important pieces of information. First, how much weight should be used in the various exercises and sets? The book only refers to using "light" or "moderate" weight. Obviously each person will differ, but a benchmark such as X% of a person's 1 rep maximum or a percentage of their body weight would suffice to know what would be appropriate. Unfortunately no such instruction is given, so there's really no way to know what the appropriate weights are that should be used for these exercises.
Next, should any of the sets be done to failure? If so, which ones? Should there be any forced reps? Should the weight progressively increase from one workout to the next? Should the reps be done slower (longer time under tension=more difficult) or faster? All of these are important things to know.
In addition, many of the exercises in the program require specific equipment that can only be found at a gym. So those of us who have workout rooms and equipment at home are left to wonder what to do in place of say a Pec Deck machine, or a Low Row machine.
