A great reference August 4, 2008
Strength Training Anatomy is set out in a style that is very easy to read, each chapter detailing a new body part and within it a detailed list of some of the more popular exercises and how to perform them. By saying popular, I really mean the more traditional exercises using fixed resistance machines, dumbells and barbells. My POV is that it is very much old school - you can tell that by the illustrations of the guy in the 80's striped bodybuilding pants. If you are looking for educational material on functional strength and core strength which is very much in vogue and correctly so, then this book is not perhaps what you are looking for. Instead I would highly recommend this book as a text book and point of reference for all practitioners that prescribe exercise routines and those that are learnig about the anatomy of the skeletal and muscular systems. Other interested exercise enthusiasts will get a great foundation knowledge on the traditional exercises to learn.

Fantastic! July 7, 2008
I've had this for over a year, I bought it after reading reviews on Amazon. I continue refer to this book time after time! My mate spent so much time looking at my copy that he had to get his own copy in the end! Not really sure how they could improve on this book...maybe add some nutritional info, but that's not really what this book is about. Whether building muscle, toning, or just keeping fit, this book covers the muscle biology of all the muscle groups in fantastic detail. You wont look at the human body in the same way again! Buy it, you wont regret it!

Excellant Illustrations! June 19, 2008
I personally used most of the exercises to great affect. The illustrations really assist to get the exercises to pinpoint precision. It also assists in avoiding injury with the highlighted warnings. I was not after a huge book, its portable enough to fit in any sports bag to have a browse before starting a workout. The instructions are very easy to follow, a great read for all seeking to improve their workout regime.

Strength Training Anatomy February 15, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Sometimes, I get frustrated when exercising. I know that a little strength training is supposed to be good for my bones while promoting weight loss. Unfortunately, I usually only have half a clue about what I'm doing. Thus, much of my workout is spent worrying whether I'm doing the movements correctly, hoping I don't hurt myself, and wishing I had a personal trainer to tell me what to do.

Strength Training Anatomy is definitely a better alternative. This book includes 15 different strength training exercises (free weights and resistance), focusing on the arms, shoulders, chest, back, legs, and buttocks. The proper range of motion is illustrated for each exercise (including variations) with the particular muscle groups highlighted in full colour. Both male and female body types are shown. The text also includes special features about common injuries: what causes these problems and how to avoid them.

Now, when working out, I am far more confident. I know which muscle groups are supposed to be in motion. I know how to avoid potential injury dangers. I even have an understanding of how to adapt these exercises to best suit my body form and abilities.
