The human body is a system. In bodybuilding, if you treat your body systematically -- proper technique of movement, breathing, nutrition, rest, state of mind, etc. -- you will get good results. If you do not, you won't. It's that simple. Mr. Frederic Delavier's "Strength Training Anatomy" is an important component to help you to achieve good technique.
Nowhere is the phrase, "a picture is worth a thousand words", more appropriate than with this book, which is a collection of anatomical pictures showing you exactly which muscle, or group of muscles, is used in each movement. In addition, a detailed description of each movement with recommendations is provided below each picture. The book is divided into seven chapters: (1) "Arms", (2) "Shoulders", (3) "Chest", (4) "Back", (5) "Legs", (6) "Buttocks" and (7) "Abdomen". Each chapter contains many movements/exercises for each muscle group.
In a gym, you will encounter at least 80% of people who absolutely have no clue what they are doing. (You can usually tell them apart by their loud screams and moans to get attention.) Correct technique is vital to achieve bodybuilding success! If you are a beginning bodybuilder, I highly recommend that this book be your first book to buy, or at the very least one of your first books. This seemingly innocent-looking book is an absolutely invaluable book for any bodybuilder of any caliber!

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.

As I went thru the research Amazon provides to determine whether you want to buy a book or not, I stumbled across the price, $17.95. After looking at the astronomical prices these big hearted sellers were quoting, I did a quick search to see where I could buy the book outside of the Amazon site and found it, New, at www.humankinetics.com for $19.95 (the 2006 edition). I think you'll agree it's a far better buy than paying the ...ahem..."opportunists" selling it here for between $42+ - $199+ for Used books. I don't blame Amazon for this, just the "opportunists" (put your own descriptor here instead if you want ;).
This has been your public service announcement for the day.

Wow, what a great book!. The illustrations are fantastic. I like the layout and the "straight to the point" structure of the text. However, the book mentions throughout the exercises that one should inhale while lifting the weight (or through the exertion phase of a lift). I've been exercising for most of my life and have been a personal trainer for two years. It makes more sense to exhale throughout the exertion phase. This mainly holds true as weight becomes heavier. Blood pressure increases when exertion happens and exhaling works like a release valve, thus lowering and regulating blood pressure. Instinctively, people, mainly beginners, tend to hold their breath when lifting a heavy weight and they get all red faced. I tried holding my breath while doing reps through one workout(big fan of Myth Busters on cable, by the way)and all I got out of that was a big headache. I still highly recommend this book to everyone.
