Brief Book Summary:
Discover for yourself the magic of Strength Training Anatomy, one of the best-selling strength training books ever published!
Get an inside look at the human form in action with more than 400 full-colour illustrations. This detailed artwork showcases the muscles used during each exercise and delineates how these muscles interact with surrounding joints and skeletal structures. Like having an X-ray for each exercise, the information gives you a multifaceted view of strength training not seen in any other resource.
This updated bestseller also contains detailed anatomical analysis of training injuries and preventive measures to help you exercise safely. Chapters are devoted to each major muscle group, with 115 total exercises for arms, shoulders, chest, back, legs, buttocks, and abdomen.
The former editor in chief of PowerMag in France, author and illustrator Frédéric Delavier is a journalist for Le Monde du Muscle and a contributor to Men's Health Germany and several other strength publications.

If your new to working out then this book is for you. If you know the basics already then you don't really need this book.

If you are looking for a no nonsense book to show you exercises that target certain areas of the body without a lot of fluff, then this is the book for you. It is a great guide if you are looking for guidance on how to properly lift weights, or target muscle groups for growth. It is set up very well. If you are working out arms, you simply turn to the "arms" section and pick the exercises you want to do. It even gives you tips on how to avoid injuries like torn rotator cuffs, back, etc. I highly recommend it if you are getting started at resis5tance and weight training.

This book gets excellent reviews. I guess I felt a little bit like the book was going to be different so that's why 4 instead of 5 stars. For example, while the squat is covered, it really doesn't detail which muscles perform which activities and various points in the lift. The squat is clearly the basis for most serious lifting programs, and I really could have used 10 pages to cover the various aspects (perhaps more). I realize this isn't a technique book, but thought to some extent it was about showing you the anatomy during proper technique. This is more of an anatomy book than something in the lifting category. There are a few good 'side bar' type notes on various injuries which did provide useful information. Also, there is no index and the book's organization is perhaps not as good as it could be. Now I have an anatomical reference book on my bookshelf.

Simply stated, this book is awesome. I just started working out this year. Everything my hired trainer is teaching me is in this book, and more. I love the way it shows you exactly what muscles are being affected by an exercise. If theres something you want to target on a certain day, just get this book out and start working! It is great!
