Sometimes, I get frustrated when exercising. I know that a little strength training is supposed to be good for my bones while promoting weight loss. Unfortunately, I usually only have half a clue about what I'm doing.

If you are looking forward to go to the gym or being fit then you need a guide that show which target parts to pay attention to. Strength and Training Anatomy is the best book I know thus far that shows three dimensional graphical representation of work outs and 3D picture example of how to go about a work out.
Over 750 Million copies sold, this book is a leading source of strength training exercise.

As someone who studies figure drawing and anatomy, the illustrations in this book are superb. The targeted muscle groups defined per exercise offer a great mental model when weight training. The amount of exercises in the book, both free form and with machine, are extensive and give detailed descriptions of what muscle groups are affected, and how the exercise should be performed.

Oh, I love anatomy, and I love books that show it well. Want to know what muscles are worked when you bench press? When you dead lift? This one shows you most excellently (sorry, just saw a show on Keanu Reeves and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure featured).

This book is part of a series of books that give great detailed information on proper physical fitness, as well as the anatomical structure of muscles.

One of the finest, clearest, and most useful visual guides to strength training. A must for anyone learning how to lift. This edition is a bit old--I hope some of the outdated information has been fixed in the newest edition.

I love anatomy, and I've been really curious about which muscles are worked in what ways by what exercises.
This book answered those questions, and answered them visually, and well.
