| With over 450,000 copies sold, this book is arguably 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.
It's neatly divided up into sections (arms, shoulders, chest, back, etc.), so all you really have to do is flip to one of these sections and it will have detailed pictures of various exercises and exactly which muscles are involved. ... Read More: |

| This is a great book for learning the techniques required for the various must do lifts. The number of main exercises in the book, you could just about count on a single hand but the attention to detail is excellent, the teaching points are clear and explicit with clear pictures demonstrating how to perform and how not to perform while also giving advice as to how to strengthen weak points in your technique. As a certified Kettlebell Instructor in the UK I use this book and its compatriot for women (From ... Read More: |

| This book is exactly what it says it is- an encyclopedia. It is divided into no less than five "books." Measuring in at about one and a half inches thick, if the info contained inside doesn't help you get bigger, just try lifting the book!
A quick rundown of each chapter. The first book is basically an introduction to bodybuilding, covering a lot of miscellaneous, but important topics. The second book covers the training programs, the third the body part exercises, and the fourth book competing. The fifth and last ... Read More: |

List Price: £9.99 Healthy Living Books Price: £6.49 You Save: £3.50 (35%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.82 |
| I got this as a Christmas present & as someone who's been training for half their life I was disappointed - it's just too basic.
As a reference tool for the form of different exercises it's pretty good (though I'd still go for McRobert's 'Insider's tell all handbook...') & the routines toward the back of the book may hold some useful examples. However, if you've seen 'Dinosaur Training' by Brooks Kubik or anything published by IronMind I'd give it a miss. |

| I have just finished the 12 weeks program and I have to say it did change my life. I did not want to write a review until I finished the 12 weeks because I wanted to see for myself if this book was enough on its own to carry you through the entire 12 week program
Let me try to explain the confusion with the reviews about this book because I think I understand it now. If you are a couch potato and don't do any exercise, or if you are a reasonably active person and do a lot of cardio work(running, tennis, squash, etc) yet you are not seeing any results, ...

List Price: £11.99 Healthy Living Books Price: £8.47 You Save: £3.52 (29%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.00 |
| First off it should be noted that the book should really be called "Periodisation of strength training for sport", as periodisation of an endurance training component is not really considered unless it is as a weights/resistance endurance training component (that is to say any endurance component actually performing the action of an endurance sport, e.g. running, rowing, is not considered). That is not to detract from the value of this book or criticise it, but the agenda presented by this book is on strength/power/power endurance training by means of resistance ... Read More: |
