Format:Paperback
With over 450,000 copies sold, this book is arguably the best book of its kind. What's it useful for? Mainly to help the reader (from the weekend athlete to the athletic trainer to the professional bodybuilder) figure out what exercises work what muscles.
It's neatly divided up into sections (arms, shoulders, chest, back, etc.), so all you really have to do is flip to one of these sections and it will have detailed pictures of various exercises and exactly which muscles are involved.
A great reference to keep have around, I give it five stars easy. Readers who lift weights regularly might also be interested Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff to avoid shoulder problems a lot of lifters eventually get.

I'm not a big buyer of health books as most of the ones that I pick up are bulky and full of chapters about diet, clothing and general noise. This book just has biological diagrams of the body and gives several exercises (and varying degrees of difficulty) for each one.
The diagrams are like the Bruce Algra posters on gym walls with drawings of the muscles. I have several friends who have also bought this book as I really recommend it's no nonsense plain style. You can just pick a muscle and design your program around it.
Also the colour coding system is very useful as it shows the secondary muscles effected by an exercise

Im not a bodybuilder. Im not a fitness freak. Im not anything you would call an athlete. But this book is cracking. It is divided into sections reflective of body parts (i.e. Arms/Chest/Shoulders/Back/Legs). Its easy to read and digest and the best part of this book are the illustrations. The detail is brilliant and the reader is in no doubt as to what areas the exercise is focusing.
