Strength Training Anatomy -10/10 Beyond Expectations September 15, 2001
31 out of 71 found this review helpful
This is a MUST for all those involved in strength/weight training. This book will become a major cornerstone/reference in anyone's library, as it has already in mine. The book has all the major exercises for each body part covered [from squats, bench press to dumbell rows]in great detail, shows how to do them correctly and also shows all muscles used for each movement in full anatomical pictures. This book by far exceeded my expectations and is another solid published book by Human Kinetics! I HIGHLY reccomend this book!!!!!!!!
Excellent reference for weight training! August 8, 2002

This is the best reference book I have found for anyone interested in weight training. It gives very specific information on which muscles are used in many many weight-lifting exercises and, especially helpful, in different variations of these exercises. If you want to develop a routine that involves the different parts and aspects of a particular muscle group, this is a great place to look. The information is presented in an easy-to-understand written form and also visually with beautiful illustrations. I was very pleased to find that the illustrations include women's bodies as well as men's. This book presents complex information (which I have found missing or difficult to understand in other books) in a straight-forward and well-organized manner. The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish it had an index. I'm really glad I found this book!
PHENOMENAL!! March 16, 2002

I had high hopes for this book based on the customer reviews I read, but I still didn't expect such an extremely high level of detail and quality! It turned out to be everything I was looking for and more. It is very well laid out - a section is devoted to each bodypart (i.e. arms, chest, shoulders), and on the first page of each section is a rundown of all of the exercizes that are profiled. What follows is a beautifully drawn depiction of someone performing the given movement with the targeted muscles highlighted. It also offers tips on proper form and possible variations. I can honestly say I have never been more satisfied with ANY book I have purchased. I HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone with even the slightest in the way the human body works and it is an absolute MUST HAVE for anyone who is at all involved in weightlifting at any level. It will help make your workouts more effective because you will know exactly which muscles you have been targeting in your workouts and those you may have been neglecting. Please do yourself a favor and buy this book!!!
An excellent illustrated guide to muscles. January 29, 2003
19 out of 48 found this review helpful
Strength Training Anatomy is an excellent guide to your body's muscles. The book is in full color and is divided into the following sections: arms, shoulders, chest, back, legs, buttocks, and abs. Within each section there are at least 15 exercise demonstrations targeting the various muscle groups. What makes this book good? Apart from doing chest exercises, for example, this book educates the user on different types of exercises along with proper technique and its impact on the muscle. So the end result is that you are able to design your routine to give you not only mass, but importantly the "cut" look. I recommend this book along with The Workout Log, which Amazon also carries, to keep track of your progress.
This book delivers what it promises June 24, 2003

"Strength Training Anatomy" covers all the exercises for every significant muscle group in the body with color illustrations showing proper form and which muscles are used with each exercise. It also covers free weights and most of the more popular Nautilus/Hammer machines. For many exercises, it also includes the subtle variations that can be done with certain exercises (for example, using a wide/narrow grip or stance) and tells how the muscles being worked are differently impacted by these variations.Note that this book does not provide a workout or diet plan. It's main purpose is to serve as an illustrated reference guide so you can map out which muscle groups you'd like to target with which exercises. If you actually need a roadmap to setting up a routine, I'd personally recommend "Weight Training Workouts that Work" by Orvis or some other lifting guide in addition to this book. But the Delavier book is a great reference and can give some ideas of different lifts to try if you find yourself growing bored with your current routine.
