Just got this book and all I have to say is "WOW"! I totally reccomend this to any beginners that are looking for technical advice regarding specific muscles and variations on exercises to isolate ceartin groups. I realized immediatly that I have been doing not only deadlifts incorrectly but also abs, shoulders and biceps.

Great book guys, just thought I'd share. The illustations are also awsome.

If your muscle wont allow you to do the last few reps, make your mind and heart do it. Your muscles will thank them later.

i agree that it is a great book. it was my second strength training book i got. it corrected me in all my exercises. my first book was the art of expressing the human body. don't let the name fool you cuz it is a fantastic book.

Thanks clandress, I just picked up a copy and it is damn cool. I have been working with a trainer for a while and haven't had to think too much about a routine. Now that I will be training on my own in the near future this is certainly going to be my bible.
