Men's Health: The Book of Muscle--The World's Most Authoritative Guide to Building Your Body

Exercise ain't easy. The body is a complicated machine, with 650 muscles and 250 million individual muscle fibers. Some would say taming those fibers and building strong, healthy muscles is not an act of labor. Some would say it's an art. Here's a book worthy of that art. The Men's Health Book of Muscle is the big, lavishly illustrated, full-color coffee table book that only Men's Health could produce-one that doubles as the ultimate guide to building a better body. The goal of The Book of Muscle is simple: create a beautiful, artistic guide to the body that also helps guys build great physiques by showing in detail how muscles work and how that knowledge can be put to use. Inside, you'll find lush anatomical illustrations and photographs of a quality that no other book on fitness can match. You'll also find complex biological information, boiled down to language any guy can understand, and three 6-month workout programs, one each for beginner, intermediate, and advanced lifters. It's big muscles, big benefit, and beautiful all at the same time. It's the book you've always wanted from the guys at Men's Health, the fitness experts you trust.  more

First half good, second half wanting

I recently purchased this text and now am in the process of returning it. Whether or not this is an appropriate book for you will depend on how much you like dictated to you, and how much you like to understand the "why" behind what you're doing. I'll summarize my review with a few bullet items:-...

Terrible Kindle DX experience

I bought this book because it was featured as being formatted for the Kindle DX. That was a terrible mistake on someone's part. The book is not really usable as a reference, which it's obviously supposed to be. Some of the issues:1. In the print version, there are large pictures of the human body...

Nice and Educational

Book includes a lot of information about muscle, and a lot of technical language which is good because when I read it with my younger brother it pushes him to use a dictionary. Exercises are well explained and good time is made to ensuring no injuries occur.

excellent training guide for a normal guy who's been training for 20 years

I purchased this book after learning about Ian King from a reference in Tom Venuto's BFFM ebook. All I was looking for was a new way to split up my workouts. Background1. I have been working out for more than 20 years and have read and tried many programs including high volume and low volume...

Kindle bad, paper good

I will gladly change this rating from a 1 star to a 5 star if Amazon can tell me how to do one simple task: There are workouts in the back of the book. I want to print a page so that I can take that page to the gym with me to workout.With a paper version of the book I can copy a page (or three...

Great book, but you MUST follow it

I've read many work out books over the years but none has really made me say WOW. This one is far and away the best book I've come across. They give you 1.5 years of ever increasing work outs to get your body into top shape. As you progress, you will see just how well thought out their...

Almost Perfect

This book is almost perfect. There is a ton of information here, but you don't have to read it all. If you want, you can go straight to the workouts and start banging away. Its nice to have a lot more information available because to really make a goal, you'll need to know how to eat right and...

Very good book; could be a little more user friendly

First of all, this is a very good and authoritative book on the subject of weight lifting and physical fitness. The concepts behind the workouts are thoroughly explained and they make sure you understand why they're telling you to do "this" or "that" a certain way. I would recommend this book to...
