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.
A great reference to keep have around, I give it five stars easy. Readers who lift weights regularly might also be interested Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff to avoid shoulder problems a lot of lifters eventually get.

This book is absolutely the best illustrated guide towhat-exersises-work-what-muscles there is. It is split into the followingsections:
Arms
Shoulders
Chest
Back
Legs
Buttocks
Abdomen
Each section is then broken down into numerous exercises with somefantastic anatomical/action pictures showing you the required range ofmotion and the specific part of each muscle worked. It contains verydetailed diagrams of the nessesary anatomy, as well as important notes,alterate variations on some of the exersices, warnings about certainpositions and the stresses they might put on your body, as well as usefulldiagrams showing the way certain muscles function, and how to make themost of them.
This is the only book on the subject you'll ever need to buy!

After looking long and hard for a book that covered all weight training exercises for building muscle and that 'showed' you the muscle groups being worked I found this gem!! This book basically shows you which muscles are being worked when lifting certain weights - as other readers have said there are loads of books out there that 'explain' the theory but few that show you what happens inside your body. A must for all people wanting to train properly!

This book is excellently laid out and is intended purely as a picoral guide - 124 pages of delicately illustrated excercises that work every major muscle of the human body. These are accompanied with detailed physiological diagrams of the area of the body focused on.
The book is conveniently grouped into sections (arms, legs, chest etc...) which makes it very easy to locate specific exercises. Whats more, the book is written by a professor of physiology, and as a result is void of the usual inane dross usually associated with books of this genre. All in all, a consise, well laid out book that is a must for anybody serious about weight training.
Excellent book July 22, 2002

This is THE book for anyone who weight trains, or works within the fitness business. I have bought many books, but this is certainly THE bible. There are various sections in the book, from Arms, Legs, Back, SHoulders etc, and within each section it gives you a large number of exercises, but the main thing is it shows the all the muscles being used during that particular exercise. Because the diagrams are in colour, on good quality paper you can really understand what is being shown. This book will benefit beginners through the experienced Personal Trainers. Buy this book!
