Incredibly Well Illustrated February 27, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The drawings in this book are certainly some of the best I've seen in this category.
In terms of content, this book is divided into various body parts namely arms, shoulders, chest, back, legs, buttocks and abdomen. There are more than 10 exercises under each section. For each body part, a series of exercises highlighting the muscles involved are presented. All active muscles are highlighted and the passive ones are labelled as well. Note accompany the drawings to provide instructions on how each exercise should be performed.
Both male and female bodies are featured. Exercises featured include those using free weights and machines. After reading this book, anyone interested in strength training (not necessarily serious bodybuilding) should be able to choose a few exercises that will suit his/her needs. No need for expensive gym equipment or memberships. The book shows us that some highly effective exercises can be performed at home or the children's playground.
Once again, the drawings are simply awesome. A great reference book for anyone who is intrested in strength training.

 Well explained muscle anatomy! February 22, 2008

This is an excelent book to have in mind and not only on your book shelf,i strongly recommend it for those who really intersted in bodybuilding. But the only thing that i didn't enjoy is that it doesnt tell you the muscle that does most of the work for an excercise. For instance in bench press, it highlights all the chest muscle and doesnt specify the middle one.
Fantastic Illustrated Strength Training Guide February 17, 2008

This is one of the best weight training guides that I've found. The art illustrations are beautiful and very educational and it is an excellent technique guide as well. I refer to it several times a week for tips and ideas about my workouts. There is a significant amount of detailed information that will help weight lifters and fitness buffs no matter their skill or fitness goals. I highly recommend it for technique, variety and injury avoidance.
Excellent book February 15, 2008
A must have for body builders or for someone who is looking to learn more about the anatomy of muscle building and proper exercice. I use this book as a regular reference while working out to help me remain focused on the muscles i am working out. And helps to depict what muscles i am trying to work. EXCELLENT! 10*'s
Strength Training Anatomy February 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Sometimes, I get frustrated when exercising. I know that a little strength training is supposed to be good for my bones while promoting weight loss. Unfortunately, I usually only have half a clue about what I'm doing. Thus, much of my workout is spent worrying whether I'm doing the movements correctly, hoping I don't hurt myself, and wishing I had a personal trainer to tell me what to do.
Strength Training Anatomy is definitely a better alternative. This book includes 15 different strength training exercises (free weights and resistance), focusing on the arms, shoulders, chest, back, legs, and buttocks. The proper range of motion is illustrated for each exercise (including variations) with the particular muscle groups highlighted in full colour. Both male and female body types are shown. The text also includes special features about common injuries: what causes these problems and how to avoid them.
Now, when working out, I am far more confident. I know which muscle groups are supposed to be in motion. I know how to avoid potential injury dangers. I even have an understanding of how to adapt these exercises to best suit my body form and abilities.
