Format:Paperback
This book is what you need.It gets rid of any nonsense out of mags or professional books.I am an intermediate bodybuilder who has read everything and anything. this book is not so simple the exercises and eating is what anyone already knows but new clear summarised info. I still read this book again and again before anything else it is like a bible. I only disagreew with the 3 workouts a week. I prefer 6 with a new body part a day. But the ideas for upping intensity and periodisation are good. Plus the info on supplements good with no hype. Buy this book it will beat any silly bodychanging motivation book.It is for athletes and bodybuilders that don't waste money on supplements that don't work or over ambitious steroid routines

This book is all you will need on Strength Training. I liked the way it explained in detail how to construct your own training programme according to what you want to achieve. Your aim could be improved physique or bigger muscles or better endurance or simply toning or everything together. I liked the way the author took the different body shapes and genetics into account and suggested training geared towards these. You can easily tailor the book to yourself. I highly recommend this book for men and women of all abilities. By no way is it a one stop book ! This is a book you will go back to again and again to refine your programme and techniques no matter how experienced or inexperienced you are. Perfect !

I'm a personnal trainer; and I recoment this book to anyone who is just getting in to the swing of resistance training. It has a very good chapter on sports supplements. The book is very concise, giving clear instructions on training methods and dividing muscle groups, it provides good training techniques all round. It also includes some details on weight management both gain and loss with some interesting eating plans. - A good allround introduction to Resistance training!
