5.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of Routines,
By
This review is from: Essential Chest and Shoulders: An Intense 6-Week Program (Paperback)
I have read a few body-building books and think this one, along with the other books in the same series (arms, legs, abs, etc), are the best to date.One reason for this is the insistence upon good form. Like a lot of people, I have in the past gotten carried away with adding more weight and not paying attention to form. This is still a temptation but the message on good form presented in this book is finally starting to stick. I especially was impressed by his argument for paying attention to the negative part of the exercise. Another STRONG point of the book is that it provides you with lots of routines. After finishing the books 6 week course, The book also does a good job of covering the basics of good nutrition, rest and, for all of you gym rats who would ignore it,

Good for a beginner,

This review is from: Essential Chest and Shoulders: An Intense 6-Week Program (Paperback)
This book is simply a program to improve strength in your shoulders and chest. I have followed it for the prescribed 6 weeks with very good results. I can see better defenition in my chest and shoulders and I've increased the amount of weight i can lift considerable. However, this is mainly because i had not lifted in a year. It is very basic and anyone who follows a workout plan already would have most of the excercises given in this book. I would reccomend buying it only if you are a true beginner.

make no mistake... it looks easy but it really is intense,
By Hammad Iqbal (Doha Qatar) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Chest and Shoulders: An Intense 6-Week Program (Paperback)
i started the program from this book not even 7 days before and i can feel the stress on my muscles which is an indication of success. I learned some very useful concepts about weight training for beginners e.g. Dumbell presses instead of bench press and more, which is really true and fantastic. This book mainly focuses on chest and shoulders but emphasizes on legs and abs also. The designed program is very friendly yet intense. There is no exercise for biceps in this book. I recommend anyone to buy this book along with Kurt's "Essential Arms" and "The complete book of abs". I cant wait to see the results and to give 5 stars to this book. Last words: DEDICATION & DETERMINATION will help you make any weight training book useful otherwise FORGET ABOUT IT.
