Book Reviews of Strength Training Anatomy - 2nd Edition
Book Review: Strength Training Anatomy
Summary: 5 Stars
Strength Training Anatomy has proven to be an excellent resource.
I volunteer in the fitness center at a catastrophic hospital. When working with clients on resistance exercises, the book provides easy-to-understand graphics of how the exercises should be performed and which muscles, muscle groups, and bones are involved in each exercise. The result is a better understanding of why certain exercises are being recommended and how exercises, when done properly, complement one another in meeting specific fitness goals.
Book Review: Strength Training Anatomy
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has a lot of useful information!! This book is arguably one of the best book of its kind. What's it useful for? Mainly to help the reader, from the weekend athlete to the athletic trainer to the professional bodybuilder figure out what exercises work what muscles. As a Personal trainer I would highly recommend this book for anyone, newbie to lifting or serious about lifting the right way for the right muscle groups. It's neatly divided up into sections (arms, shoulders, chest, back, etc.), so all you really have to do...Great book!Book Review: Excellent Muscle Graphics
Summary: 5 Stars
I was referred to this book because it is used by many physiology/exercise/health students at my university. Am glad I bought it. The muscle graphics are excellently done. It is very clear which muscles are being worked by the various exercises. What I like most about the book is it presents a few exercises for each muscle group versus some books that present 50 exercises for each muscle group. Having so many excercises can be overwhelming to those new to working out. This is an well written and presented book for body building.Book Review: Great addition to strength training library
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a number of books on strength training. This is the best for showing the anatomy of what is actually happening during the sets. It also talks about problem areas like the rotator cuff and shows the structure of the cuff and the muscles involved.
This book in addition to the "Book of Muscule" by Ian King are the two best references for someone who does strength training.
I had read the reviews of this book and thought about buying it. I saw a copy at my gym and I instantly saw how good it is.
Book Review: Very Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
If you workout at all, or even have a passing interest in working out and anatomy, this book is a must read.
It very clearly explains, in both words and images, what muscles "do what" during exercises and helps you focus a bit more on your workouts.
We have all said "I want stronger arms or legs" or more toned areas and seeing the muscles and anatomy from the perspective in the book brings a whole new insight to what you are doing and why.
Gives a deeper meaning to exercise.
