Helpful for understanding science not body building

This book just details the muscles that get engaged when performing an exercise. It doesn't really talk about how many times we should workout in a week, what to eat, how to combine exercise etc...all that is in the book is just the exercises and a small explanation on the muscles that is engaged...

A truly excellent and startlingly useful and attractive book to use for preventing, healing or curing almost anything that ails the body that can be addressed by properly targeted weight training and exercise. The artwork is most phenomenal. Recommended exercises quickly helped me get past a...

Wonderful resource material!

This book was and is very helpful in designing workout routines that hit all the major muscle groups. You can compare and contrast exercises to make sure that you are hitting the muscles that you want. Great addition to my library.

Best Exaggerated Artist Anatomy Book

I've completely looked through about 40 artist anatomy books in book stores and owned 4 total. Overtime I've given them all away as they just were not what I needed. In the end they always have a semi-athletic body drawn in a variety of poses and invariably show the muscles etc. Even "Anatomy For...

Brilliant!! Anybody with an interest in weight training will benefit from this truly excellent book!

Not much to say except that this book is excellent and it's difficult to think of any way that it could be made better. Anybody with any kind of interest in resistance training with weights can only benefit from this book; it's simply brilliant! It's a very well organised book with chapters split...
