Bodybuilding: The Weider Approach

Rating:
Summary: A fairly good book that goes into depth about body building
Review: Like the other Joe Weider books, there is alot of information about bodybuilding for either the novice or the advance. However the pictures are misleading, because one cannot get the same result without using drugs.

Rating:
Summary: Anyone can succeed with this book
Review: This book offers great beginner and advanced techniques for bodybuilding. It has helped me gain strength and definition, WITHOUT any drug use. While it is true that the results you see in the photographs are assisted by supplements, primarily to counteract the lousy diets most of us have traditionaly eaten.

The Weider system has produced champion after champion in the sport. More importantly, it has helped people like me achieve the results we wanted: better strength, weight loss, better definition and better health.

This book will help you avoid the mistakes that plaque most people starting an excercise program.

Summary: Bodybuilding history
Review: This is more than your basic how-to book. It gives all the fundamentals a beginner could want using free weights, etc. It also gives some of the more advanced techniques that today's muscle mags don't know about. But mostly it was written at a time when there wasn't a Gold's on every corner, when only weirdos in far off California spent their days in the weight room, and when Universals were new. Who today remembers Frank Zane, Franco Columbo, or even Lou Ferrigno? Get the book just for the pictures of a really young Schwarzenegger.
