A Picture Really is Worth A Thousand Words

I have some muscle imbalances I've been trying to correct and found this book very helpful. I know I need to strengthen some muscles and not others, but finding books on what specific exercises to do was difficult. With this book you can take one look at the pictures and see which exercises strengthen various muscle groups. I keep this book handy and refer to it all of the time for planning exercise routines.

STRENGTH TRAINING

This book is fantastic. I'm a former pro triathlete and I always get people asking me about working out and fitness and I always recommend this book. The illustrations are amazing, the book demonstrates exactly what muscules each excersise uses, and its shows the correct way of doing the motion and the proper use of equitment. The book points out how easily injuries can happen and how not to do excersises. Every day I see people working out incorrectly and getting so little out of their work out, they just strain and sweat for nothing, they are lucky if this is the only outcome and they dont actually hurt themselves. This book is not that expensive and it's value for working out far outpaces the expense of the book itself. I could not recommend this book more, it is by far my favorite work out guide.

Strength Training Anatomy

Well illustrated. Makes it clear how to strengthen and build specific muscles or muscle groups. I know the humas anatomy but find the illustrations better than a standard medical anatomy text.

Good beginner's book

The illustrations in the book are great, maybe a little too good for the younger crowd as there are some nude sketches. Aside from that, the book is indexed for each major muscle group and has caution page for each muscle group explaining possible injuries and how to avoid them. Good book for the beginning weight lifter!

Very Educational and Useful

It's more than just workout tips, it's also an Anatomy 101 lesson. The tips about form improved my workouts. I also gained a better understanding of muscles and joints and the human form. Best of all, there's little reading to do, it's all expressed very clearly through the illustrations.

I wish there were a page or two of in depth examination for each muscle group, instead every page is only devoted to either an exercise or an injury, with no general information offered.

The table of contents was not really designed for quick reference.
