5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, 22 July 2002

This review is from: Strength Training Anatomy (Paperback)

This is THE book for anyone who weight trains, or works within the fitness business. I have bought many books, but this is certainly THE bible. There are various sections in the book, from Arms, Legs, Back, SHoulders etc, and within each section it gives you a large number of exercises, but the main thing is it shows the all the muscles being used during that particular exercise. Because the diagrams are in colour, on good quality paper you can really understand what is being shown. This book will benefit beginners through the experienced Personal Trainers. Buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent., 20 Jan 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Strength Training Anatomy (Paperback)

This book is more concerned with showing the muscles involved in resistance training than going into detail about technique. This is fine because it means that the whole book is made up of page after page of detailed, coloured artwork, illustrating the main muscle groups in action in just about every exercise. Most other books explain the exercises in detail, but assume that everyone reading them can visualise the muscle groups in action. Beginners will find that this book makes sense of all the other strength training books and advanced athletes/bodybuilders will be pleased, as I am, that someone has finally made a reference book like this which confirms the knowledge which they will already have, but puts in in a form which is fascinating to read. 10 out of 10. I am very pleased with this purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, 1 April 2004

By

This review is from: Strength Training Anatomy (Paperback)

The book as expected is separated into individual body parts. Each chapter then provides information on exercises for those body parts. Each exercise is illustrated with an image depicting all the muscles that are used whether primary or secondary. There are also instructions on how to perform an exercise with proper technique and in some cases there is slightly more information, the bench press, the deadlift and other core exercises. It's a good book as it's always good to know exactly what muscles you're training. Don't expect anything on nutrition, lifestyles or training programs. And though it doesn't show you every exercise ever invented (no Arnie Presses) it should be enough for most people. It's a good way of planning your own excercise routines.
