A book of Exercises
)
What can I say? It is a book of exercises. No single book in itself is the total answer to everything. The book is just another piece of my education. I saw this book in a local store and waited until I need a small purchase to total free shipping.
I wanted to broaden my workout to confuse my muscles. It gave me what I wanted. It is probably best for someone with weights, dumbbells, cables, Smith, in their basement gym. However, someone with less can still utilize it to a more limited extent.
Since this is basically a reference book, I would like a better index. Other than that, it is good.

Slightly above average
I looked through this entire book while at a bookstore recently and it is better than average.
Pros:
-101 exercises
-FULL COLOR photos / high grade paper
-Fairly comprehendible
-Shows starting and ending positions on most exercises
Cons:
-Everyone in this book appears to be on steroids, this may be intimidating to new people
-The nutrition and supplement sections are severely lacking
-Not all the exercises have a starting and ending position. Someone new to working out would have a hell of a time figuring out how to properly do a cable crunch based on the description and one picture.
-Some of the descriptions are lacking a bit
In conclusion this is a good reference guide for a fitness enthusiast, but I wouldn't recommend this to someone without general knowledge. The full color photos make this stick out from other books and it's relatively small (so it's easy to take to the gym). I'll buy this when it goes down in price.
