 Excellent book! The book is so simple but at the same time very informative! Whether you are an advanced weight lifter or just new to the world of weight lifting then this book is a must. The graphics are very detailed and the book incorporates training techniques as well as common injuries associated with certain techniques. Awesome Strength Training Book This is a great book for anyone with a basic knowledge of weight training. It doesn't go into details of how to build a program, how much weight one should lift, how many reps vs. sets one should do, etc. It is merely a book of strength training exercises broken down by muscle group. It highlights which muscles are used per exercise, and goes into some detail about injuries one may incur while working various muscle groups. I have been lifting for over two years now, and this book gave me a multitude of different exercises to shake up my routines. It has a variety of types of equipment to use (free weights, cables, machines) which provides readers with many options based off what you like to do and what is available for you. I thoroughly enjoy the cable exercises. I hardly used cables before this book, but now they are some of my favorite exercises. I have shown this book to fellow weight lifters, and everyone has liked it. Some people have even ordered their own copy. I have to mention that I am in the military, so many people around me value new training ideas. ==Lots of Strengths== 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 figure out what exercises work what muscles. It's divided into sections (arms, shoulders, chest, back, etc.), so all you 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, readers who lift weights regularly might also be interested Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff to avoid shoulder problems a lot of lifters eventually get.  Great, but my sister thinks it's too graphic Good book, great illustrations of muscles worked. My mid 40's sister doesn't think the illustrations are proper when they drew the women lifters. Skimpy outfits and curves but hey, it's a book about building your body and the underlying structures. | |||||||||||||
