Summary: WORK OUT FOR JESUS
Review: Musclemag is an awesome magazine for those interested in fitness or bodybuilding. I think they should think about featuring different fitness models though, instead of always using the same girls. I also feel there should more practical pictures of people who train hard "naturally". Great info. though. To all those in the fitness business, it's a tough lifestyle, but staying healthy is worth it,I do it myself with my strength coming from the LORD. Praise the Lord and God Bless!!

Summary: Too many poses
Review: Overal this book covers a lot of information, diet, nutrition and equipment. What I didn't like is the excessive pictures of bodybuilders posing. The book could be 1/3 thinner if the useless pictures were eliminated.

Summary: A Very General Workout Book, not useful
Review: This book is very general about working out in general. Its more like a Reader's Digest of alot of body builders tips and hints about working out. The book contains some essential information about workout, the nunber of sets, what exercises to do, how to work the muscle and how to become a successful body builder. But, they are too general, it doesnt go into very specific detail. And to be honest, it doesnt really tell me something that common sense can not tell me. It doesnt go into detail the key to success in body building. I would suggest Arnold's Encyclopedia, Arnold Education of a body builder. These two books are great guides for going in depth about working out and setting the right mental attitude. Would not recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Intermediate Bodybuilder
Review: When I ordered this book I all so ordered 'Strenght Training Anatomy' by Frederic Delavier. I assumed that the exercises in the book would not be explained thoroughly and some were not. Over all the book was excellent. I purchased the book a while ago and still use it. The book is broken down into sections, books within the book as they call them. Book 1 is first reps. Explains how to exercise and a lot of basic terminology. Book 2: Getting Started -- is exactly that, everything from biology to the beginners level lifting. The sections are broken up so you can read about the level that you are at and stop. Once you feel you are ready to go from beginner to intermediate, read on in the book. Lots of pictures, if you need them for inspiration. Great book, covers a lot more than just lifting weights. Covers all aspects of bodybuilding and health, both mental and physical. Truly a must for those that are not just into bodybuilding, but weight training as well. It has allowed me to understand a lot more about the human body and the sport. There is all so a section exclusively for female lifters.
