The author encourages readers to be more optimistic about their bodies; he says you don't have to get weaker and fatter as you age. Clarence Bass discovered that he could look as good at 70 as he did much earlier and encourages readers to have the same great expectations for themselves - at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and beyond. In Great Expectations, he provides both the example and the science to show that the body will keep responding to the demands of sensible training far longer than most people think possible. Vibrant health, fitness, and leanness are there for those who choose to train, eat, and live well. What's more, suffering is not required or even helpful. To be truly successful over the long term you must enjoy your diet and training. The details are in Great Expectations.

I've purchased all of Bass's books including this one.:
For 20 years I've bought the books of Clarence Bass. You'll find him to be a source of sound advice. He is always on the leading edge but always avoids the hype and fads you will find in many books and publications. I'm writing this in appreciation of all that Clarence Bass's books have done over the years to inspire and inform me. If you have not read any of his books, buy Challenge Yourself At Any Age then buy his current book. If you go to www.cbass.com you'll get some idea of the breadth and depth of... more info
