 My favorite!!! May 23, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book about 6 years ago when I made a conscious decision to build muscle. I am now a successful competitive bodybuilder, and I can honestly say that this book was, and still is, indispensible to me. It guided me through all the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels of body shaping, and then when I decided to give competition a try, it was helpful then, too. I recommend this book to any weight lifter of any age, gender or goal. It is my absolute favorite bodybuilding book of all time! Well written, comprehensive, and illustrated with a plethora of photos of the most beautiful bodybuilder EVER!

A well written, complete BB reference for anyone. I hope they release another addition. The book is solid even for men.
Great book for women's health! February 11, 2006

This book is comprehensive and honest in approach to weight training and nutrition. Anja is a professional body builder who has written a book with information for all levels of weight training. The best things about weight training for women is that it helps build/maintain strength and it helps build/maintain BONE DENSITY. One does not have to be a body builder or go for alot of muscle mass to reap these benefits of weight training. I would recommend this book to anyone as it has so many different exercises and nutritional facts.
Great guide for women March 19, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I like this book and recommend it to all women who are timid about lifting weights or working out in a gym. It answers the question of how many sets you should do, etc..all the questions beginners have. This book clearly illustrates how to do the exercises and gives good advice.
My only qualm is, it needs to be updated. I actually emailed Anja praising this book and requesting that she update it and surprisingly she emailed me back that she was considering it. I really hope she does. It would be nice to see her now and have new nutrition information.

This book is a thorough approach to women's weightlifting and addresses many relevant topics from safty, where to workout, pregnancy, diet, and complete instruction with pictures on how to perform hundreds of lifts.Anja Langer includes workout routines for the beginner, intermediate and advanced bodybuilder. Also information on losing body fat, and diets to follow wether your goal is simply to get in better shape, or to become a competitive body builder. This is a guide I turn to whenever I feel like changing my workout routines, and what is best for me at any given time.
