5.0 out of 5 stars
==Lots of Strengths==,
This review is from: Strength Training Anatomy (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.

superb plain and simple with no pointless chapters,

This review is from: Strength Training Anatomy (Paperback)
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

top book,

This review is from: Strength Training Anatomy (Paperback)
I have just started a gym instructors couse and wanted a book that really did pin point not only muscle group worked, but also specific muscles, benefits, hazzards etc. This book does exactly that. There is not a whole load of text to read - just lots of well illustrated exercise routines with key phrases for each. To the point yet well detailed. There is also information regarding common muscle injuries through weight training. there is also a handy colour code on each exercise so at a glance it is possible to tell what areas are being worked.
I cannot recommend this book enough. It is suited for both men and women and will be one of the best reference books to have when providing workout programmes. Although it is also suited to women as a note I would recommend Strength Training for Women by Amazin. It will also cover issues such as pregnancy, menopause etc which would not be appropriate to be included in this book. If you had both you would not want for any other book when designing a work out programme using weights or resistance machines.
