Summary: scientificly wonderfull
Review: Although the contents of this book refers only to the concentric part of the rep inducing beginners or unexperienced readers to false intrepretations, it is with no shadow of doubt the most important tool that a trainer must keep under his pillow.

Summary: Excellent book for bodybuilding
Review: Although the technology is not altogether new, the information presented has fascinated and educated all of my clients who have read the text. A much welcomed tutorial in designing RT protocols for the limbs. My clients want more. Believe it or not, these are neophytes to weight training.

Summary: Now you really know which exercises work
Review: The MRI scans in this book show the effects of an exercise on the body parts exercised. You can use this to select routines to work all muscles on a body part you are working on.
I can already feel the difference in using this book.
I only hopew there will be a follow-up book to cover the Chest, Back, and Abs.

Summary: Return of the arm blaster
Review: This book revives the art of the armblaster and brings it back into the mainstream where it belongs. This author uses the MRI to prove that this and other equipment are not antequaited, but rather something that needs to be a part of everyone's workout.

Summary: Return of the arm blaster
Review: This is certainly the best book available for scientifically choosing which exercises to perform for the upper arm, thighs and calves. Some surprised me for their ability to use all parts of the muscle and others surprised me for their minimal impact on one part of a muscle. For example, you rarely see anyone use narrow grip barbell curls in a gym, yet they are more effective than curls with curvy bars, machines or many other supposedly helpful devices. Unfortnately, most of the body remains uncovered by Tesch's techniques. Is it not possible to MRI the back, shoulders, chest, forearms, buttocks and abdomen? If so, why? And the only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star book is the rather lame programs Tesch presents in the final 15 or so pages. Unlike the earlier part, where exercises were chosen scientifically, the repetitions and sets in these routines seem to have been pulled out of the air. Those shortcomings aside, anyone looking to exercise efficiently needs this book. We only have so much energy, so why waste it on incomplete movements?
