Format:Paperback
Simple, clear and consise. Brief yet informative introduction to weights plus chapters on warm up exercises, post training stretches and weight exercises. Each exercise / stretch is photographed at different stages where necessary and instructions are very easy to follow. The last chapter includes numerous training programs ranging from beginner programs which can take around 20 mins to complete through to hard core training programs. Very motivational for beginners since you are encouraged to complete each stage before advancing to the next level. (Recommended number of weeks per level: 4)

This book is excellent as an introduction to weight training. The exercises are described clearly, have variations for when you get stronger and a range of programs to suit everyone. There is a chapter on stretching and one on warm ups. It also features 'asides' on how you can use any additional equipment you happen to have (such as a bench).
The books biggest asset, however, is it's motivational style. The way the programs increment week by week to encourage you and the fact that the photographs look like ordinary people getting into shape and enjoying it.
Other weight training books I have discarded as either too complicated or requiring too much extra equipment. This is a good basic one to keep.

Although this book seems a bit dated , it has some very good advice for working with weights and the exercises are explained well. There's a good section on stretches too.
