Weight training isn't easy, and not just because of hard work, sweaty shirts and stinky gym shoes. It's hard to know what excercises work which muscle groups, and this wonderfully illustrated book lays it all out. Divided into sections for each major muscle group, its easy to pick and choose new excercises to work your shoulders, back, buns, whatever. The diagrams also include pointers on good form, as well as modifications for each move (like, standing or sitting). For every excercise, the illustration includes "colored" muscles so you really know what is being worked. This book is great for beginners and even the advanced trainers.

I had high hopes for this book based on the customer reviews I read, but I still didn't expect such an extremely high level of detail and quality! It turned out to be everything I was looking for and more. It is very well laid out - a section is devoted to each bodypart (i.e. arms, chest, shoulders), and on the first page of each section is a rundown of all of the exercizes that are profiled. What follows is a beautifully drawn depiction of someone performing the given movement with the targeted muscles highlighted. It also offers tips on proper form and possible variations. I can honestly say I have never been more satisfied with ANY book I have purchased. I HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone with even the slightest in the way the human body works and it is an absolute MUST HAVE for anyone who is at all involved in weightlifting at any level. It will help make your workouts more effective because you will know exactly which muscles you have been targeting in your workouts and those you may have been neglecting. Please do yourself a favor and buy this book!!!
Awesome March 14, 2002
This is an awesome view of all the muscles used in both free weight and machine exercises. I am a visual learner and not only are the muscles shown in detail, but there is a description of the proper way to do the exercise. My basic criticism of most popular fitness magazines is that they do not tell you the names of the muscles worked, this book gives you the names and shows them also. Great reference book! Highly recommended for anyone in the fitness field or looking to understand what you are working when you lift.
