Strength Training Anatomy by Frederic Delavier (2005, Paperback)

awesome book/guide, if you want info about workouts,conditioning,details about muscles, do's & dont's..

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. Thus, much of my workout is spent worrying whether I’m doing the movements correctly, hoping I don’t hurt myself, and wishing I had a personal trainer to tell me what to do.

Strength Training Anatomy is definitely a better alternative. This book includes 15 different strength training exercises (free weights and resistance), focusing on the arms, shoulders, chest, back, legs, and buttocks. The proper range of motion is illustrated for each exercise (including variations) with the particular muscle groups highlighted in full colour. Both male and female body types are shown. The text also includes special features about common injuries: what causes these problems and how to avoid them.

Now, when working out, I am far more confident. I know which muscle groups are supposed to be in motion. I know how to avoid potential injury dangers. I even have an understanding of how to adapt these exercises to best suit my body form and abilities. 

This book was ranked high in sales on Amazon. After reading the reviews I thought maybe this would be an inexpensive investment to learn more about the kines. of the body. Excellent read and packed with information.. IF YOU ARE IN THE FITNESS INDUSTRY this IS A EXCELLENT BOOK!

I have really enjoyed this book. I have used it as a reference on many occasions. I greatly suggest this to anyone who is working in or interested in personal training, physical therapy, or just loves to workout.

Whether your a personal trainer in the process or you just simply love to go to the gym and do some reps, this book will help you understand what's goin' on in your muscles...

It is a very informative book,great for reference,well written,easy to understand, illistrations are very helpful to understanding subject.

Although, I haven't completed an in-depth study of the book, I have scanned the material and found it to be helpful in my pursuit as a personal trainer. I have been a certified personal trainer for almost ten years and continue to collect educational materials to better help my clients. Each client has a particular need that may be very different from another client. The book identifies musculature groups connected to a particular movement. The detailed graphic help illustrate the movements and provide cautionary measures for improper form. The book also provides guidance and safety protocol for each particular exercise.

As a physical trainer to be, I really recommend this book because it really helps you find specific exercices for specific muscles for specific people. It covers all the muscles of the body in full illustration highlighting the muscles that are being worked at the time. It really helps me find the right exercices and makes my practice a lot easy. Really recommend thhias book.

What I like most about it:

WHY PAY FOR A PERSONAL TRAINER WHEN YOU HAVE THIS BOOK...DO ONE BODY PART A DAY FROM THIS BOOK AND WATCH THE RESULTS IN 6 MONTHS...

I received the book Strength Training Anatomy by Frederic Delavier in the two days it was sold as. The book is exactly as I expected it to be and in some ways it is more than expected due to the book being updated from the older version. The shopping and buying with the seller was extremely easy.

Loved the book. it gave me over 50 new moves to help improve my workout. i dont dislike anything about this book. i bought it to take my workouts to the next level and it did

what i really love about this book is the detail on every workout. there is nothing i dislike. i bought this book to help me learn more workouts.

Lots of pictures, everything an Anatomy Book should be. Shows a large amount of exercises and specifies what muscles/bones (and I do mean every single one) are involved, and the correct form. Navigating through the Book is easy. A must for those who don't want to read a ton of pages, and a good exercise reference.

The book took a bit longer than i anticipated to come. Nevertheless, it was in a very good condition.

I took this book out from the library for research and decided to buy it. For someone who likes to lift on their own this is a must have book. It explains proper form for most exercises and illustrates the body's anatomy highlighted the muscles used. Again, an excellent book to supplement your workout.

Great book, simple and direct orientation for muscle development and growth. If you want to exercise the right way, this is the best way with out the spend of a personal trainning.

This book is really awesome because it is extremely visual, it shows you on each page a full color of the workout, the muscle group, and the motion as well as other great tips. If you like to workout but are often confused, then this book will help you!! Highly recommended!!!

excellent deal, good seller i recommend.pretty good price and the shipping was so fast............................................................................................

This item is a rewrite of the previous issue. The book was so informative last time around I never had thought it could have been improved upon but I was wrong. It has everything that a man or woman needs to improve or start a workout. From the advanced to the novice. I have owned and read seems like every book out there but from the pictures to the instructions it is a workout manual. I highly recommend this book.

I love this book! I am a trainer/instructor and refer to this book often. I first found this book at the local library and after renewing it several times I decided to just buy the book. Very glad I did!

getting into fitness , this boot explain & show the body muscle & fonction.
The details are amazing and stay very simple.
