Rating: Summary: The most comprehensive book written on bodybuilding. Review: Without a doubt the most compreshensive book ever written on bodybuilding! Truly a delight to read. After reading the book from cover to cover, I revamped my workout and actually saw major results within a couple of months whereas I havn't seen in about a year. This book is truly a must for anyone who wants to shape up or enter the field of bodybuilding. I strongly recommend it!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Arnold could have done better Review: Contrary to the other reviews I have read, you don't have to be doping yourself to use the information in this book. However you must insure that your training nutrition is flawless. It's a shame that the book doesn't go deeply into the idea of using legal supplements to help the bodybuilder be successfull. I think you have to start by reading a beginners guide to bodybuilding before jumping on this book. Without the proper foundations, most readers will see the exercises as impossible and therefore come to the conclusion that they need to use steroids to succeed. Overall a good book though, but not for beginners.
Rating: Summary: THIS BOOK JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL IS AWESOME Review: THE NEW ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BODYBUILDING IS THE BEST BOOK ON THE MARKET WHEN IT COMES TO SERIOUS LIFTING, READ THE BOOK REFER TO IT OFTEN LISTEN TO YOUR OWN BODY AND FORM YOUR OWN ROUTINES TAILORED MADE FOR YOUR GROWTH. EVERYONES DIFFRENT WHAT WORKS FOR ME WONT WORK FOR EVERYONE. BUT THE EXERCISES AND CORE GROUP OF TRAINING PRINCIPLES SET FORTH BY ARNOLD WILL INSURE YOUR SUCCESS IF YOU WANT IT.
Rating: Summary: Muscular Strength Builder Review: After reading and following the tips given in this book, I discovered that my muscles were rotting away. My doctor told me it was due to the extreme nature of the very book I was using, The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding. Now I am confined to a wheelchair. THANK YOU ARNOLD!!!

Rating: Summary: This book is an invaluable tool for aspiring bodybuilders Review: Arnold has done it again; from Mr. Universe to film icon and inspiration to millions, now an updated version of his previous "Encyclopedia" has outdone the first, a task that I personally didn't think could be done.
