5.0 out of 5 stars ==Lots of Strengths==, 17 Sep 2008
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bible of Strength Training, 27 April 2004
By Mr. E. Selous "edsheadsaid" (Japan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is absolutely the best illustrated guide towhat-exersises-work-what-muscles there is. It is split into the followingsections:
Arms
Shoulders
Chest
Back
Legs
Buttocks
Abdomen
Each section is then broken down into numerous exercises with somefantastic anatomical/action pictures showing you the required range ofmotion and the specific part of each muscle worked. It contains verydetailed diagrams of the nessesary anatomy, as well as important notes,alterate variations on some of the exersices, warnings about certainpositions and the stresses they might put on your body, as well as usefulldiagrams showing the way certain muscles function, and how to make themost of them.
This is the only book on the subject you'll ever need to buy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great images, but some exercises shouldn't be there, 18 Aug 2003
As a personal trainer, I have to know exactly what is going on inside your body when you exercise, and Mr. Delavier gives readers a good perspective of the anatomic structures involved in strength training, but there are exercises in his book that shouldn't be there, like the front delt flyes and the upper row. In this exercises the shoulder is in internal rotation and when the arm is raised, the bursa and the tendons of the supraspinatous and long head of the bíceps, are pinched by the troquiter and the acromium, leading to tendinitis.
Exercises, like external rotation of the shoulder, for example aren't there. With books like this, I'm not amazed when I see a bodybuilder with a shoulder injury.
To learn about proper technique, take a look at Efective Strength Training by Douglas Brooks.
