If you learn visually then this book will be a godsend if you work in the fitness industry, or as a physiotherapist.

It gives you illustrations of the human body in different common strength training exercises while highlighting the different muscles in use. It even goes through the synergist muscles as well. It also has correct technique listed for each exercise.

A must have if you want to learn anatomy visually, as it will make it much easier just to look a human body doing an exercise in real life, and to be able to visualise which muscles and working.

This book is an accessible look into the anatomical aspects of strength training, with clear and detailed yet simple diagrams and explanations so that one doesn't have to be a medical doctor to understand it. The contents are divided into different parts of the body (Arms, shoulders, chest, back etc).

It has instructions on particular exercises and information on what muscles are used in that particular exercise. What is particularly helpful is that in the pictures depicting the exercise, the person doing it is drawn in black and white, but the muscles being worked are coloured in a vivid shade of red, making it clear which muscle fibres are being activated and where they are situated. There are also helpful sections such as "Elbow structure and its effect on training".

A fantastic book!

you dont have to be an anatomy student to understand this book. The author has showbn very easily the exercises and the muscles which are used in performing the movement. If you know anatomy dont worry about this book, however if you want to increase your knowledge this is a great starting point.
