I saw the author demonstrate these exercises with an assistant on TV. I thought: Those exercises look like something I can do at home so I bought the book. Nope. All illustrations use gym equipment. Rating: 3 / 5

This book is a great resource. The introductory chapters explain the advantages of weight lifting, how often you should lift, and how heavy. The main chapter are broken down into different body areas including chest, back, shoulders, arms, quads & calves, glutes & hamstrings, core, and total body. Each chapter begins with a focused anatomical drawing pointing out the muscles that will be targeted. Many exercises are given (619 total!) for each area with variations from beginner to fairly advanced. For each exercise there are excellent photographs for the starting and stopping points as well as tips such as hand grips for weights, shoulder alignment, and pitfalls so avoid. There are also pre-planned workouts in the last few chapters. My only gripes would be that they really downplay the role of cardio and having the workout plans in the back means flipping back to look at the exercises. These are not major flaws, though — cardio routines are not hard to figure out and the workouts are listed separately to increase versatility. Overall, this is a great book and really stands out from other fitness books. Rating: 5 / 5
