5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have! Truly Excellent!, 15 Jan 2002

By A Customer

This book is amazing! If it wasn't for this book then I wouldn't have made so much progress. If I need a reference, or am unsure about an exercise or whatever then I just flick open this book. My friends at the gym also ask me about training tips. They might be bigger and stronger, but are amazed how much I know-all through this book. It has training tips and routines from all the top pro's, Q & A's which answer any queries, and top nutritional advice. I have also lent this book to numerous mates and they too are amazed on how much progress they get when they alter their training to what the book says. You will too! A great buy! Merry reading and happy growing!

4.0 out of 5 stars A thorough, though not entirely accurate fitness bible, 17 Jun 1998

By A Customer

I enjoy all things bodybuilding, so it was with much interest that I began reading this exhaustive look at the fitness (albeit bodybuilding skewed) world. From history to supplements to profiles to training, it's all here. This is a more up-to-date and thorough examination than the books from Arnold (early 80s) and Weider (late 80s). The only problems that I have with this publication is the occasional innacurrate or balsy statement (such as Anja Schreiner placing second at the Ms. International rather than first, or the type of gains a trainee SHOULD make in the first year). I highly recommend this to all levels of trainees, with the caveat to keep an open mind and consult additional sources.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth while book, 3 Aug 2001

By A Customer

I have been weight lifting for a while, I must agree this book provides a very good refrence for all satges of body builders, or just people looking to fill there shirts every where, not just bellies!.

One problem in my opinion is that for the very basic people the exercises should have pioctures not just description however good. Dont get me wrong there are pics and loads of them but more like the start and end pics I fell would be very helpfull.

Other wise a brilliant book well done to all concerned.
