The TB12 Method: How to Achieve a Lifetime of Sustained Peak Performance

Firstly let me start by saying there is probably only one or two things I am sceptical about in the theory, however, I have only received the book and only read the introduction, but the book is already so promising that I had to write a review, I'm confident this book will better inform myself and others about misconceptions or any doubts they may have about some aspects of the method. The book itself is huge, the photo quality is absolutely outstanding, the level of detail is astounding and from what I have read and flicked through so far this book could prove myself and many others wrong about scepticism. It is well worth the price and I'm actually surprised it didn't cost more for the sheer weight of it.

Pliability is a useful concept I had not previously heard about. Since reading this book a few weeks ago, I have incorporated pliability practices into my routines, and am pleased to note a qualitative improvement. TB sounds like a nice guy, and it is interesting to read some of his story.

Bought as a gift for someone else so no idea if it was any good. They did ask for it though so I’m sure they enjoyed it.

I'm a massive Patriots and Tom Brady fan so I was always going to love this book :-) The things I liked most about this book was the insight it gives you into Tom Brady's lifestyle and daily routine and the suggestions about how to adapt some of his routines into your own lifestyle.

The man is a genius at his trade and to still be performing and physically able as he is at 40 is a testament to his preparation, eating and training. Tailor his methods to fit in with your own life and you'll see the benefits It takes some effort but is well worth it

Brady arguably one of the best athletes in the world, describes in this book how he obtains peak performance on and off the field. The book centres on pliability, which is the daily lengthening and softening of the muscles as a way of injury prevention and longevity for not only athletes but everyone. Brady's method also describes how maintaining balance is crucial whilst making sure nutrition and hydration are maintained to reduce inflammation. I was drawn to this book as I am interested in learning new physical training programmes and I like Brady's emphasis on using resistance bands to supplement strength and conditioning. The book promotes his products at numerous times, and it felt that I wasn't reading an educational book but more an advertisement. For fitness fanatics, there might be some value in the book, but for everyone else, I suggest typing in resistance band training and nutrition into google and learning that way. I rate this book three stars.

Interesting book Tom and his wife set a good example to live a healthy life. The book is very good and detailed

Perfect present for a Tom Brady fan :)

La méthode de Tom Brady expliquée ! Intéressant

This book is a summary of Brady's healthy life style and exercise routine. As a nurse practitioner trained as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, I found his beliefs to be pretty well grounded in science and commonly accepted practices and enjoyed the content. It is comprehensive and well-thought out. It's his way of telling his story and then thoroughly covering all aspects of life that lead to achieving a lifetime of sustained peak performance that makes it unique. If we all did what he suggests, we'd all be fit, healthy, and happier. If coaches followed these guidelines, we'd have less injuries nation wide. It should be required reading of all high school athletes and especially the coaches who still don't get it. It's totally worth the money because the concepts apply to all people, not just those who exercise or are athletes. His main point of adding pliability (lengthening and softening muscles) to your strength and conditioning routine is not a new concept but it is rather new to see a professional athlete embrace it so thoroughly. It really is one of the main secrets to his athletic longevity and all of us should add pliability exercises to our routines as well as follow his 12 principles. To discredit an earlier review - Brady does NOT say you have to go to one of his centers to achieve pliability. He discusses self pliability exercises, partner pliability exercises, and then professional therapists at his centers (which would probably be for the amateur and professional athletes or those who are really into this). There is a bit of a sales pitch tone to it though with some annoying repetitious phrases - but maybe the athletes need it drilled into them. It seems it was written so that you'd get the same couple messages with each page. He could have said the same stuff in less pages. I highly recommend starting this book with the conclusion on page 284 for a summary of what's to come. Move on to the middle and if you haven't had enough, then hit the verbose beginning chapters. There are a ton of good pictures to help with understanding the exercises and if you are a Brady fan you'll like his personal touch. I'm glad I got it and highly recommend it. If I had a kid in sports, I'd buy it for them no matter how young and read it with them. I'm ordering my husband his own book and I'm recommending it to all my friends. It's really that good.

Recommend to anyone that wants to learn Tom Brady’s secrets on staying fit, young and top of their game mentally in all aspects of life. Pleasantly surprised at excercise instructions and diagrams/pictures. Buy this book now!

Great ideas and insight to peak performance from one of the greatest athletes in the world.

It's easy to read and follow his exercise plan, a lot of things make sense, I really like his approach to exercise and diet.
