Well I bought this book thinking it would be informational and helpful, but in fact it was a waste of money! The pictures are poorly illustrated, and they did not include variations of the exercise. Spend your money on a better book!

Not as good as the Dummies series which has better written and illustrated books on this subject.

I recently boought this book and read it in one sitting on a flight. It is the best I’ve seen yet. Not only does it have great weight training guidance with various kinds of equipment (barbell, dumbell, & various machines) but it gives variations and clear cautions. In addition it has the best nutrition & lifestyle discussion and getting started section I’ve ever seen. It also discusses the difference between strength, power and ensdurance and how to achieve them. Simply trhe best yet.

This book has just about all that you can ask of a book on basic weight training; programs, techniques, principles, cautions, etc. It’s also well-organized, printed on acid-free, recycled paper, and has several useful appendices, as well as a glossary and a comprehensive index after the text section. If you can buy just one weight training guide, this is a very good choice.
