Anatomy for Strength and Fitness Training October 25, 2008
This book is just the perfect companion for my husband's work-out routine. You don't have to be a biology major to appreciate the relevance of understanding how human anatomy and weight training go hand in hand. All strength and weight trainees should get this book as a guide to working out.

Este libro es muy tecnico pero dirigido al publico en general, se entiende todo muy bien, explica de manera agradable la conformacion del aparato musculo esqueletico incluyendo graficos explicativos. De manera muy amena se conocen los musculos a trabajar su ubicacion y brinda orientacion sobre como ejecutar en forma correcta algunas rutinas; es un libro muy bello con sus dibujos y su lenguaje muy asequible. Lo recomiendo altamente.

I find this book useful on two levels. On one level, I have used it to deepen my own knowledge and make sure that I am targeting where I wish. On another level, it has allowed me to show my teenage son exactly which muscles are being worked by which exercises. I like the author's emphasis on functional strength.

I was never very good at science/anatomy and don't understand too much about the inner workings of the body but I LOVE to work out so this book is perfect for when I just need to know which specific muscles I'm working when I do specific exercises. I highly recommend it!

It's a great resource for me. I am a woman who goes to the gym for fitness and strength training. Even though the gym provides a trainer, who has explained these things to me, the great illustrations in this book really help me to visualize how the muscles work and I now understand and can work them even better.
