Informative look into the sport of bodybuilding. November 27, 2008
Sci Guy (Las Vegas, NV USA)
This is a good book for anyone who is just getting started in the sport of bodybuilding or who has been working out for a while without seeing bodybuilder-type results. The only downside to this book was that it didn't have enough images/charts for the exercises recommended or nutrition recommended. The majority of the images in the book are photo shots of professional bodybuilders; which I found inspiring, but not informative.
A lot of info October 1, 2008
A. Aldana
Big book that has a lot of info regarding health and fitness for everyone not just a bodybuilder.
 Loaded with pictures but lacking in anything else September 7, 2006
Jackson Rhodes (Christchurch, New Zealand)
Its packed with pictures of the Pros and big names of bodybuilding at the time of writing but thats about it. br / br /Its nutrition nutrition section consists of about 20 pages, 25% of which is pictures, which is poor considering that nutrition accounts for 75% of bodybuilding. br / br /The is very general and does not cover specifics, it's just one glorified magazine.
Great Reference Material July 26, 2006
T. Miller (Indiana)
This book has everything you need to know about body building. I would not consider this a book to sit down and read from cover to cover, but more of a reference library. When you need to know something, just grab the book and look it up. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know more, or who wants to be a body builder.
 A Very General Workout Book, not useful June 10, 2004
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is very general about working out in general. Its more like a Reader's Digest of alot of body builders tips and hints about working out. The book contains some essential information about workout, the nunber of sets, what exercises to do, how to work the muscle and how to become a successful body builder. But, they are too general, it doesnt go into very specific detail. And to be honest, it doesnt really tell me something that common sense can not tell me. It doesnt go into detail the key to success in body building. I would suggest Arnold's Encyclopedia, Arnold Education of a body builder. These two books are great guides for going in depth about working out and setting the right mental attitude. Would not recommend this book to anyone.
