Rating:  - The title says it all!
This is a concise and straight forward text. The illustrations and context are simple. That is all you need. No wasted time with unnecessary information. That means more time to workout. Try also the other "Men's Health" books. These are the best I have read and are still using. I've been working out ever since high school, college, and into the present in lacrosse, Brazilian jiu jitsu, muay thai kick boxing, snowboarding and mountain biking. If you're not into reading long drawn out "how-to" books ... Read More
Rating:  - Great resource...with some editing problems
This book does a very good job of de-mystifying the gym work out. There are quite a few devices and gizmos that I was never quite sure how to use, and this book explains what they do and how to use them. Also, it does a very good job of categorizing different exercises, providing many ways to work different muscle groups. For instance, chest exercises using no weights, free weights, bars, benches, cages, machines, etc. Having more options at my disposal makes it easier to work out. There are some ... Read More
Rating: - Gym rats handbook
This is a very helpful book to get some new routines into your gym workouts. The illustrations are really good and helps make use of the gym facilities. Being able to see which groups of exercises help to benefit the different muscle groups is very helpful. I've used this book to incorporate variety into the gym routine and my son hass checked it out and likes the ease of use with the book. The organization is very good for the novice or intermediate gym rat. If you don't have a personal trainer than this ... Read More
Rating:  - Some editing problems so read carefully
The topics covered in the book are wide ranging and informative but the editing in some parts leave little to be desired. For example, in chapter 13 on the Muscle-Building Workout, the instructions and the actual layout of the workouts don't coincide. The instructions say the leg workouts should be done as straight sets but in workout B, the first two leg exercises are listed as A1 and A2, suggesting a superset. Also, the instructions explained the workouts as upper body/lower body, upper body /lower body ... Read More
Rating: - Great book for someone new to the gym
This book has a wealth of information useful to someone who recently joined or is considering joining a gym. The book is well laid out and very easy to read. This book was perfect for me. The exercises are well illustrated. Information is presented concisely. The book is free of one person's opinions. Too much authoritative lecturing is a problem that plagues many books in this category. This book avoids that mistake. I can highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering joining a gym or already ... Read More
