As he gained muscle and refined his program, he began to learn more about physiology, anatomy, and biomechanics and started studying those subjects in medical journals. Since 1995 he has been writing about his discoveries in various bodybuilding and fitness magazines all over the world.

Format:Paperback
As a huge fan of Delavier's previous books I ordered the Core Training Anatomy
I was hugely disappointed.
This is a book focussed on getting a six pack, not developing overall core muscle strength
There are very few exercises using a Swiss ball and very little information about how medicine balls can be incorporated into a core workout.
The static core strength exercises such as the plank are basic and do not show enough progressions and variations to challenge intermediate workouts
There is also very litle information about using cables for resisted core workouts.
Yes the illustrations are beautifully done, and the exercises in the book are well demonstrated with photos.
I'm sure there are better books out there

This is a great book for fitness fanatics who want to achieve a perfectly sculptured and toned body. This shows each muscle and how they all work in conjunction with the weights and levers used at the gym. The graphic pictures are drawn using the bare muscle structure so you can see the muscles as they develop. I would really recommend this for people who are really enthused about achieving the perfect body.

Format:Paperback
There is a mass of information in this book, identifying different workout and training regimes to improve core fitness. It includes individual exercises for specific muscle groups as well as programmes for sports specific training. As a personal trainer, this is very valuable for prescribing exercises for my clients, however it is also easy to follow for the layman looking to improve their core fitness.
It's not the first of mr Delavier's books I've bought and it won't be the last
Thoroughly recommended
