very good but could be better 4 out of 5
I love love love this book. everything in it is organized and detailed, my only complaint is that i would have liked something a bit more comprehensive. this book mostly deals with basic moves and leaves all the others out. I know its not possible to include every exercise but it would have been nice to get a few more in there. aside from that its a wonderful book, well worth the money i spent on it.

Best Book for Strength Training! 5 out of 5
This is a must own for anyone who is dedicated to strengthening, training, improving or maintaining their body. Easy to read, easy to reference, easy to understand. Seriously, it's a must own book for anyone that is active or is just starting. You don't have to be a body builder to benefit from this book either. It's shown in a way that removes weight lifting comparisons and ONLY focuses on the muscles and the body.
awesome book 5 out of 5
I enjoy weight lifting, and this definitely shows in extreme detail every muscle that is worked out. A lot of good pictures and some informative info to go along with the pics.
Great Information 5 out of 5
I have been lifting for years and this book helped me really see what was going on with the muscles in action. It is a good reference to see the correct form and muscles being used in various exercises and the details of the drawings are wonderful. It also has tips for avoiding injuries and working around them if they do happen. All-in-all I am very pleased with this book, if you are into body building or just interested in how the muscles work during motion I would highly recommend this book.
