Synopsis
The number one reference for a wide audience, ranging from gym users to personal trainers, athletes to coaches, through to PE teachers, physiotherapists and academics. Over 400 unique full-colour illustrations reveal the primary muscles worked along with all the relevant surrounding structures, including bones, ligaments, tendons and connective tissue. Like having an x-ray for each exercise, the depth of anatomical information includes superficial and deep anatomical layers, and how different set-up positions affect muscle recruitment and the emphasis on underlying structures. The first edition of "Strength Training Anatomy" has been a phenomenal global success. Originally translated from French into 20 languages including German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Dutch.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   54 of 57 people found the following review helpful: 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.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Buy this book if you need a resource to tell you what exercises are good to do for a particular body part. For instance, if you want some leg exercises, just go to page 93 and there will be a list of exercises. Then, in the pages that follow, are pictures of all those exercises which show you exactly which muscles are worked with that particular exercise. Plenty of pictures make this book easy to work with and each picture comes with instructions on how to do the exercises as well as training tips. Also for weight lifters, recommend "Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff" to rehabilitate or prevent rotator cuff problems.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

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.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
