Summary: See What You've Been Missing
Review: If you work out regularly, this book is for you. It shows which
exercises and which muscle groups you are presently missing, and
leads you to a more symmetrical workout.After about 10 days, I have post-it notes on about 9-10 pages,
and some really sore spots from working the groups that I now
find I have been neglecting. This isn't like the other weightlifting books, or "regime" manuals; this is one you need, and won't regret buying, and
it won't be gathering dust on the floor next to your workstation.

Summary: Amazing
Review: This book is one of the best book I have found in this subject. I been working out for more that 20 years and studied every major book in this subject and never found anything that comes close to this book. The clarity and illustrations are the best that I seen. Don't get me wrong book such as Arnold's Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding are fine and very informative, but they concentrate on explanation (sometimes confusing) rather than Illustration which get the point accross. I HIGHLY recommendt this book for anything body who is interest in exersice and weight lifting. This book is a must for any serious athelete or fitness person. This is best for men and women as well (I never seen such a well illustrated book about women exercises). BUY IT AND ENJOY THIS JEWEL...

Summary: Strength Training Anatomy by Frederic Delavier
Review: I am currently studying for my Diploma in Sports Therapy and Health and Fitness and found this book the most educational book I have seen. The illustrations were fantastic, well labled and very informative. I also found this book very encouraging as it is the first book that I have seen that covers the female body in detail as well as the male. This book will never find its way onto my book shelf as it is a book that I find myself constantly refering to. Frederic Delavier must be a very proud man producing such a fine book.

Summary: This Is a Fantastic Book!
Review: There is a HUGE number of books dealing with anatomy for both athletes and artists. As an artist interested in anatomy, I have studied many of them, but I can say unequivocally that Frederic Delavier's book is without a doubt the BEST I have ever seen. Athletes will find this book particularly good because it is so easy to read and understand. This book should be required reading for artists as well, because it is probably the FIRST book ever written on the subject which seriously demonstrates in TRUE, COMPREHENSIVE detail the working muscles of the FEMALE body. Historically in art the female body is often portrayed WRONG, from a distorted masculine viewpoint--either like the ugly, distorted men-women of Michelangelo, or else the Vargas-Elvgren-Playboy fantasy pin-up idealization. Delavier corrects this error in perception and shows us the RIGHT viewpoint. He has a profound understanding of not just medical anatomy and strength training, but also of the classical tradition in art. His superb 3-way rendition of the Farnese Hercules, which has been drawn by many great artists like Rubens, clearly proves this. After studying this book, I fail to see how any artist can not agree that it clearly outclasses all the other books on the market today. Any artist or person interested in physical training--as well as medical and sport professionals--will also find it a really excellent book. I look forward to Delavier's future publications.

Summary: You need this reference
Review: This is a great book. It's not an overall workout guide; rather, it gives detailed information on a wide variety of weight exercises, with beautiful anatomical illustrations that show exactly what parts of what muscles are involved in each one. If you're lifting weights and you want to really know what you're doing, this is an absolutely essential reference.

Summary: Excellent! Beauty of a Reference Book
Review: This book essentially covers most of the exercises that you will encounter in the gym. Each one is given a gorgeous and very detailed drawing of the relevant muscles surrounding the area of training. Also given is a brief but decently thorough outline of proper form, movement, and also any variations that may offer any benefit. Do not mistaken this book for a substitute for proper training and instruction, instead it is a reference tool. Once you have recieved the training and instruction of exercise mechanics from an appropriate source, this book is a great reference tool to tailor your workout to your performance desires so that you may get the most out of your time at the gym. That said, this book is a must for anyone interested in fitness or basic human kinetics/anatomy.
