Strength Training Anatomy

This book is an excellent resource for people wanting to know how to customize their workouts to target specific muscles and muscle groups. The information is presented in detailed, accurate pictures with concise text. It's not difficult to read. Use it more as reference material than as a front-to-back read-through. My young son has even learned some anatomy by browsing through this book.

I have a huge collection of books, many on strength training and fitness, this is the one I refer to most frequently.
This book is only about muscle anatomy as relates to strength training. As such it really helps you to focus your energy to where you need it. and I add that I think the book is helpful in preventing many injuries.

Ever tried feeling your muscles while working out to see what is getting worked?

If you are into 0% body fat and just want to be fit overall, then this book is probably not for you.

This book is GREAT for people that want to target muscle groups in their workouts. It shows exactly what exercises work exactly which muscles. Want bigger pecs? bigger arms? bigger legs? a flat stomach? Then this book can tell what exercises you should be doing.

An example: 'Push ups' taget your pecs and arms, what you might not know is that 'pec-flys' target only your pecs and concentrate the entire workout on your pecs, building that paticular muscle faster giving your pecs a more defined look... faster.

My goal is to become ripped all in the right spots. Not too big.. but not too small. Whatever that means. And after years of exercise and using different methods, I have finally fouund out that nothing beats working out every other day by maxing your muscles out in 6 reps about 10 times and changing your target muscle the next time you work out. This book tells you what exercies you need to be performing to target the muscles you want to 'bulk' up.

Sidenote: I am 200lbs and consume about 150 grams of protein per day through the use whey powder and food. After 1 month I started recovering faster
