From the Back Cover

One glance at his near-perfect physique makes it hard to believe that Dwight Howard had his doubters while playing at Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy. Once a scrawny underclassman, the NBA superstar has transformed himself into the NBA s most intimidating, high-flying athlete thanks to safe and effective training, which both sculpted his muscular frame and boosted his on-court performance to amazing levels. As with other NBA stars, proven training methods formed the foundation of Howard s road to athletic dominance. Access to state-of-the-art training information and guidance from the best strength coaches in the business are what allowed Howard and other NBA greats to realize their dreams and master their athletic destinies.
