Championship Bodybuilding: Chris Aceto's Instruction Book For Bodybuilding
This is a comprehensive, easy to understand, guide for the man or woman who wants to build a great body or for the competition type bodybuilder. The author divides the training section into 3 parts; training for the novice or very beginner, training for the intermediate or more experienced trainee and training for the advanced bodybuilder. Within each training section, Aceto covers training schedules, repitition ranges for building muscle strength, size and endurance, set selection, and exercise prescription. Each exercise is described with a 3 dimensional drawing allowing the reader to grasp the range of motion that best fits each exercise. He also covers muscle physiology, the comparison between 2b fibers and 2a muscle fibers and the importance of developing specific training methods to maximize your gains. The delicate issue of aerobics is also covered with exact guidelines for the pre-contest bodybuilder as well as the trainee simply trying to lose some body fat. Specifically, Aceto calls aerobics, "One of the biggest myths in body fat control. Getting lean is about building your metabolic rate by building lean body mass and manipulating your nutrition plan. For most, aerobics is a way to short circuit progress, not enhance it." The nutrition section sets down exact formulas to find precise amounts of calories, carbs, protein and fat one needs to build up or lean down-whatever his or her goal. The latest supplement are also covered from creatine to glutamine and contest bodybuilders will appreciate the sodium and carbo loading techniques. Championship Bodybuilding is all about instruction. A thorough plan that will help you transform your physique! more

This is a very informative book. The author breaks down the basics of why and how you gain muscle. Has some basic exercises to do. It is a fairly quick read due to the large print though. Overall a good book.

This book may be useful - if you are clueless about bodybuilding and need the basics to be spelled out to you (numerous typos included). Even then, you might find the book lacking in detail and barely scratching the surface. If you...

- Overhyped bodybuilding book with nothing new or inventive
Aside from the numerous typos - for an overpriced book they should proof read the darn thing - this is just another opinionated book from a guy who tells you what works for him. Which may or may not work for you. With no Scientific...
