Championship Bodybuilding: Chris Aceto's Instruction Book For Bodybuilding

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book, in my opinion, lived up to its sub title, "INSTRUCTION" as Mr Aceto has done a wonderful job in guiding the reader along the training path from beginner, to intermediate to advanced trainer. He puts together a plan for all 3- beginner, to advanced trainee complete with guidelines as to how many sets to do, how frequently to train, how to know when your ready to move on up to say, an intermediate level from beginner. He also covers muscle physiology and explains its importance in a way that is easy to understand and apply to your training. Theres illustratios on training exercises that are better than pictures. I think they are the same type of drawings that regularly appear in Muscle Mag. Nutrtionally, the book also lays down an eating plan which shows you what to eat, how much and when. It also covers aerobcs and tells you when to do them and how much. In my case, this was an eye opener because I was not only training wrong but completey screwed up in my understanding as to how aerobics fits i with the weight training. Good Job Chris!

Summary: personal-trainer helpful
Review: We keep this book along with 5 to 7 others as part of a reference catalog for the 11 personal trainers in our gym. It is a source for quality and basic training information that our employees can use to assist their clients. While basic, it is useful in putting together rouines and training plans , especally for people who require direction. The nutrition info is also good, but is geared more towards the bodybuilder then for our every day clients who, while serious, are not committed to the level that the author puts forth
