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

By	a reviewer - See all my reviews

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 Excellent book, 22 Jul 2002

By	"mark_raynsford" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Strength Training Anatomy (Paperback)

This is THE book for anyone who weight trains, or works within the fitness business. I have bought many books, but this is certainly THE bible. There are various sections in the book, from Arms, Legs, Back, SHoulders etc, and within each section it gives you a large number of exercises, but the main thing is it shows the all the muscles being used during that particular exercise. Because the diagrams are in colour, on good quality paper you can really understand what is being shown. This book will benefit beginners through the experienced Personal Trainers. Buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable quick-reference guide, 3 Jan 2002

By	Brad Carr (brad@clara.co.uk) (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Strength Training Anatomy (Paperback)

This book is excellently laid out and is intended purely as a picoral guide - 124 pages of delicately illustrated excercises that work every major muscle of the human body. These are accompanied with detailed physiological diagrams of the area of the body focused on.
The book is conveniently grouped into sections (arms, legs, chest etc...) which makes it very easy to locate specific exercises. Whats more, the book is written by a professor of physiology, and as a result is void of the usual inane dross usually associated with books of this genre. All in all, a consise, well laid out book that is a must for anybody serious about weight training.
