Strength Training Anatomy
Get an inside look at the human form in action with more than 400 full-color illustrations.

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 Fr?d?ric Delavier is a journalist for Le Monde du Muscle and a contributor to Men's Health Germany and several other strength publications.
