Strength Training: The Complete Step-by-Step Guide to a Stronger, Sculpted Body Review: Ezcellent guide for strength training esp beginners. - Review – Strength Training from DK Strength Training is one of a small series of books from Dorling Kindersley Limited, a British company. The book is very well done, artfully laid out, well formatted, good diagrams of the exercises and relevant information. The information moves from very basic to quite advanced. Obviously much thought and preparation went into creating this book. The book is actually aimed at beginners in the fitness world, but much of the information is of value to all practitioners of fitness at all levels. Good explanation is made of the muscles and their functions, the bones and their functions, the exercises and their uses. Correlation is well made to everyday movements of activities of daily living (ADLs), to sports activities. The exercises are well diagramed, well explained, given a progression of difficulty and of need for preparation with other exercises. Aside from the cover, all images are diagrams of bodies, both male and female all well clothed, sometimes with muscles exposed, sometimes just showing the movements. The diagrams are clear in their intent. My only complaints or criticisms is that the authors include crunches and triceps dips. These two exercises have been thoroughly discredited by experts such as Dr. Stuart McGill and damaging respectively to the spine and the shoulder. This high quality book will take a beginner in fitness to quite a high level of strength or will fill in gaps in knowledge for As usual the practitioner will benefit from a multitude of inputs of this knowledge. Review: The Only Workout Book I Will Ever Need. - I am obese and I had this recommended by one of my gym rat friends. He says that he started with this when he was first starting out and did not know what the heck he was doing. LEMME TELL YALL ABOUT THIS BOOK!!! It breaks down everything for you. Everything!! I am using it to draft my own workout plans for at home and for when I go to the gym so I feel much more confident about it. I no longer just stick to the cardio machines in the gym. I am even able to use this book to help me map out exercises for wanting to target muscle groups. The book is easy to follow, but gives a wealth of knowledge and is illustrated so I can SEE what the form is supposed to look like. I wish I had found this gym sooner. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #162,487 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #91 in Sports Encyclopedias #103 in Sports Reference (Books) #200 in Weight Training (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (186) | | Dimensions | 7.95 x 0.79 x 9.49 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0756654475 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0756654474 | | Item Weight | 1.81 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | December 21, 2009 | | Publisher | DK | ## Images ![Strength Training: The Complete Step-by-Step Guide to a Stronger, Sculpted Body - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xS9EcYYaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ezcellent guide for strength training esp beginners. *by G***R on August 8, 2015* Review – Strength Training from DK Strength Training is one of a small series of books from Dorling Kindersley Limited, a British company.
