Yeah, I've read about the book a few times and come across a few reviews...an excerpt from one person:
VIEW: Weights are not used in nature, so as you are never exposed to them in nature you should not be exposed to them in training.
RESPONSE: This is false. Let’s give some examples. I want to move a big rock, it’s in my way. I pick it up! I meet an awful guy who comes into my house & wants to abuse my family. I fight him, throw him about a bit, lift him up & chuck him out of my home! My friend falls off a cliff, he’s hanging on for dear life, I grab his arm & rescue him. I’m a hero! In nature you carry children, sick people to safety, food & supplies...the list is endless & humans have done it since we first became upright. Carrying stuff, moving stuff, even heavy stuff is as nature to a human as moving their own body.
