Book Reviews of Strength Training Anatomy - 2nd Edition
Book Review: Awesome Strength Training Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for anyone with a basic knowledge of weight training. It doesn't go into details of how to build a program, how much weight one should lift, how many reps vs. sets one should do, etc. It is merely a book of strength training exercises broken down by muscle group. It highlights which muscles are used per exercise, and goes into some detail about injuries one may incur while working various muscle groups. I have been lifting for over two years now, and this book gave me a multitude of different exercises to shake up my routines. It has a variety of types of equipment to use (free weights, cables, machines) which provides readers with many options based off what you like to do and what is available for you. I thoroughly enjoy the cable exercises. I hardly used cables before this book, but now they are some of my favorite exercises. I have shown this book to fellow weight lifters, and everyone has liked it. Some people have even ordered their own copy. I have to mention that I am in the military, so many people around me value new training ideas.Book Review: One of the best "know how" book s for strength traing
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is as good as I decided to send each of my family a pair, One for men and one for women. I have made my traing plan by refrance to this book pages, in case I forgot how. In other words this book is my daily traning book.
Strength traning for men could be much better if it had divided tranings to two part of "Mass making" and "deffnition building" of muscells.
No one has time to make all tranings, regardless of Mass or deffniation making. If there was a prioritaize list by trainngs effectivitet, it could make it much easier for bigginers (those whom has not time to do all trainngs) to chose which traning is the most important, and do that in their short time.
I have used Muscle and fitness DVD's divition of Mass and Diffination. I want to build Mass. Therefore I found Mass tranings first in Muscle and Fitness DVD, then found them in Strength traning for men and made my traning plan by reffrances to this book.
My traning plan is good. It work and I can see my muscles grow bigger.

Book Review: One of the best illustrations on training anatomy
Summary: 5 Stars
I chanced upon this book a year back in BJs and happen to grab it. I still think it was one of the best buys. The book has got one of the best illustrations on strength training anatomy. The book is divided into various sections with a set of excercises to develop strength in specific areas of anatomy. The text along with the illustrations are also very good and helpful. They also have specific dicussions on wears and tears in different muscles due to specific excercises.
I have followed the book and have been successful in toning my body. When my brother in law, who is a fitness enthusiast and a practicing doctor, visited me from Oman, he too liked the book and we ordered a copy for him through Amazon. Fully satisfied and will recommend this book to any fitness enthusiast, of any level.
There is a women's version of this book. Its a good book too but I think this book covers both the sexes pretty well.
Book Review: Wonderful book
Summary: 5 Stars
This type of book has been an interest of mine for quite some time. I have always wanted a book that would give a lot of different exercises for each part of the body and show the specific muscles it works. This book doesn't just show the area it works. It shows the muscles in that area that it works. For example: We all know that there is tricep push downs, triceps rope pull downs, and tricep reverse grip pull downs. Well which exercise works each different head. This book will tell you. I have taken this book and broke it down into my own work outs. I have two seperate sets. 1. Chest/Back, Bi's/Tri's, Shoulders/Legs and then another rotation of different exercises 2 Chest/Back, Bi's/Tri's, Shoulders/Legs. This way my muscles will never get used to the same workout. Great book I recommend to anyone that is trying to some less money for an amazing product.Book Review: An excellent motivator - it is frequently in my hands at 5am
Summary: 5 Stars
At one point I thought I knew what I needed to know to benefit from regular weight-lifting. I'd look forward to new editions of Men's Health in order to learn about new exercises to help motivate myself. Thanks to this book, I've realized just how little I really knew, and I can get the motivation of a new exercise or a fresh workout every time I pick this book off the shelf. In fact on cold, dark, early mornings it is frequently in my hands, motivating me to get out the door to the gym before work.
I would agree with previous reviewers - the diagrams are excellent and educational. Also, the sections on weight-lifting injuries (and how to avoid them) are invaluable.
I feel like I should mention that this is the only weight-lifting book I've ever purchased - it is the first and only title I've ever needed.
