Excellent anatomy reference book for an artist (2008-05-25)  I purchased this book to use as a reference for anatomy drawing. I love it because it is the first book that I find that is useful in terms of understanding how each muscle should move. Now, of course, for people who do body building, understanding muscle work and how exercises should be performed is very important and I find that this book provides all as it is full of information presented in stunning visual imagery that is easy to analyze.
Learn what muscle you are working out (2008-05-23) Great book. No more am I unsure what muscle I should feel working when I do a particular weightlifting move, it's clearly articulated in this book!I think this book would also make for a good reference book for a physiology student.
Pretty Great Book (2008-05-07) I love this book, it has taught me so much, and I am being honest. The only problem I have with this book is that I wish that there were more bicep, tricep and deltoid workouts, but either than that, it's fabulous.
Strength Training Anatomy (2008-02-15) Sometimes, I get frustrated when exercising. I know that a little strength training is supposed to be good for my bones while promoting weight loss. Unfortunately, I usually only have half a clue about what I'm doing. Thus, much of my workout is spent worrying whether I'm doing the movements correctly, hoping I don't hurt myself, and wishing I had a personal trainer to tell me what to do. Strength Training Anatomy is definitely a better alternative. This book includes 15 different strength training exercises (free weights and resistance), focusing on the arms, shoulders, chest, back, legs, and buttocks. The proper range of motion is illustrated for each exercise (including variations) with the particular muscle groups highlighted in full colour. Both male and female body types are shown. The text also includes special features about common injuries: what causes these problems and how to avoid them. Now, when working out, I am far more confident. I know which muscle groups are supposed to be in motion. I know how to avoid potential injury dangers. I even have an understanding of how to adapt these exercises to best suit my body form and abilities.
==Lots of Strengths== (2007-02-21) 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 (from the weekend athlete to the athletic trainer to the professional bodybuilder) figure out what exercises work what muscles. It's neatly divided up into sections (arms, shoulders, chest, back, etc.), so all you really 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 to keep have around, I give it five stars easy. Readers who lift weights regularly might also be interested Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff to avoid shoulder problems a lot of lifters eventually get.
