Book Reviews of Bodybuilding Anatomy
Book Review: not the best anatomically-oriented book on the market
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is written by a physician who, I hope, spent more hours in his medical class training than in the Gym. The details of body position and how to perform the moves are sparse in detail. The anatomy illustrations are average at best. While the theme is clever of showing the underlying muscles during a strength move, there is a much better book on the market- STRENGTH TRAINING ANATOMY by Delavier.
Evans' claim of training to failure (which he expounds in his other book; MEN'S BODY SCULPTING) is highly debatable, as well as intuitively dangerous. The body is subjected to extreme build-up of pressure in the blood vessels during such torturous maneuvers. More familiar readers in bodybuilding history will recall that the great Eugene Sandow perished while lifting the end of a car, so a flat tire could be fixed. Lastly, Bill Pearl, who won more bodybuilding titles than Dr Evans has published books, admonishes his readers to NOT train to failure.
