5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Women's Strength Training Anatomy (Paperback)
This book is a great help for training trouble spots. It covers training the lower body (back, abs, legs and butt). It gives many exercises for each body area (27 butt, 37 legs, 34 abs and 6 for back) each with a perfectly drawn illustration showing the muscles effected by the exercise and clear explanation on how to correctly perform the exercise. Most of the exercises can be done with minimal equiptment (free weights and bands) at home, only a few cover gym machines. This book does not give routines or diet plans. After 10 years of gym training I am now training at home. This no nonsense book has been an invaluable source of exercises and information for training (especially trouble spots) without the use of gym equiptment. Highly recommended!

Agree with first review!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Women's Strength Training Anatomy (Paperback)
I own & love Frederic Delavier's "Strength Training Anatomy", so when I saw this one at a local bookstore, I anxiously leafed through it, hoping it would be of a similar caliber. I was very disappointed to see that apparently, women do not have shoulder, chest & arm muscles (see table of contents)! Guess they are marketing this book to women who are trying to spot-reduce thighs, butt, & abs. I don't buy into that myth and thus did not buy the book. BOO, HISS!!!

Very good reference and teaching aid for personal trainers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Women's Strength Training Anatomy (Paperback)
I'm a personal trainer and found this book to be a great learning aid for my personal trainer national certification exam. The pictures are just great. They are transparent in the way they show you the muscles. For example, when doing a lat pull, it shows you the muscles that are being contracted. Also, the pictures are quite detailed and very descriptive. In this way, not only it helped me to be a good personal trainer but it was a great reference for my national certification exam. I also used the following which cut my study time in half for my national certification fitness exam: Key Facts for Anatomy and Physiology by Patrick LeonardiThis book made anatomy and physiology much easier to understand and helped me to get passing grades. I give both books 10 stars
