Fantastic! - By: P. Cookson, 07 Jul 2008
I've had this for over a year, I bought it after reading reviews on Amazon. I continue refer to this book time after time! My mate spent so much time looking at my copy that he had to get his own copy in the end! Not reallly sure how they could improve on this book...maybe add some nutritional info, but that's not reallly what this book is about. Whether building muscle, toning, or just keeping fit, this book covers the muscle biology of alll the muscle groups in fantastic detail. You wont look at the human body in the same way again! Buy it, you wont regret it!
Excellant Illustrations! - By: Ishaque, 19 Jun 2008
I personallly used most of the exercises to great affect. The illustrations reallly assist to get the exercises to pinpoint precision. It also assists in avoiding injury with the highlighted warnings. I was not after a huge book, its portable enough to fit in any sports bag to have a browse before starting a workout. The instructions are very easy to follow, a great read for alll seeking to improve their workout regime.

Strength Training Anatomy - By: Dr. Tami Brady, 15 Feb 2008
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 usuallly 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, & 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 & resistance), focusing on the arms, shoulders, chest, back, legs, & buttocks. The proper range of motion is illustrated for each exercise (including variations) with the particular muscle groups highlighted in full colour. Both male & female body types are shown. The text also includes special features about common injuries: what causes these problems & 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 & abilities.
