Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
Sculpt your physique like you never thought possible! With full-color, detailed anatomical illustrations of exercises, combined with step-by-step instructions on how to perform them, Bodybuilding Anatomy is the ideal resource for gaining mass and defining your muscles.
Focusing on the primary muscle groups of shoulders, chest, back, arms, legs, and abdominals and targeting muscle zones and hard-to-work areas, Bodybuilding Anatomy can make the difference between bulking up and sculpting an award-winning physique. You will also learn how to modify exercise technique to influence results and individualize training programs according to your specific needs.
Combining the expertise of MuscleMag International columnist, bodybuilder, and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Nick Evans with the talent of acclaimed bodybuilding artist Bill Hamilton, Bodybuilding Anatomy is the ultimate training guide for bodybuilders and dedicated strength trainers.

This book is written by a physician who, I hope, spent more hours in his medical class training than in the Gym. The details of body position and how to perform the moves are sparse in detail. The anatomy illustrations are average at best. While the theme is clever of showing the underlying muscles during a strength move, there is a much better book on the market- STRENGTH TRAINING ANATOMY by Delavier.
Evans' claim of training to failure (which he expounds in his other book; MEN'S BODY SCULPTING) is highly debatable, as well as intuitively dangerous. The body is subjected to extreme build-up of pressure in the blood vessels during such torturous maneuvers. More familiar readers in bodybuilding history will recall that the great Eugene Sandow perished while lifting the end of a car, so a flat tire could be fixed. Lastly, Bill Pearl, who won more bodybuilding titles than Dr Evans has published books, admonishes his readers to NOT train to failure.

I just started bodybuilding and I was look for a book that gave me the basic moves for each body part. I checked this book out at the library and I loved it so much that I bought my own copy.
It discuss each muscle that's being worked and different positions to target different areas. The photos are clear and well illustrated and informative.
I would recommend this book to people who are starting out exercise or bodybuilding.

This is an awesome book to get the knowledge of the human body. Plus, if you're studying for any test dealing with the human body, it's a great study guide. I recommend this book for the novice to the advance & whomever wants to know about the human body.

I checked out this book because I was very impressed by Strength Training Anatomy I was hoping that this book would be a nearly identical counterpart except with emphasis on developing mass over strength. I was quite disappointed because the book was written on a very, very basic level. This text will only be beneficial to those who have zero or little experience with bodybuilding and even then, you'll find that you'll grow out of it fast. I feel that a few issues of Muscular Development magazine will give you everything this book gives you and more.
That being said, I think that purchasing Strength Training Anatomy is a must for beginners and experts alike. It contains an immense amount of information in a handy no-nonsense format. Its a great quick reference and far surpasses the quality of this book.
