Women's Strength Training Anatomy: Your Illustrated Guide to Shape and Tone Ads, Back, Legs, and Buttocks

I bought it because I started lifting heavy and I needed to see which muscles are used during different forms. Is a well documented book for human anatomy while exercising.

Very good

This is a very well illustrated book on strength training anatomy. It has three strong points. (1) It is inexpensive. (2) It shows proper technique for comon exercises in the gym that "mortal human beings" actually do. Many other books are designed with illustrations of Arnold Schwartzenager-like bodys lifting free weights the size of train wheels. If you are interested in the "Schwartzenager" version of this book get a copy of "Strength Training Anatomy" by Delavier. It is the "male " companion book to this one. It can be downloaded free, on the web, if you do a little searching on Google. (3) The best part of this book is that is shows you what "not" to do. It gives illustrations and warnings about bad technique, and how you can get hurt.

Excellent! I bought this one and Strength Training Exercises for Women by Joan Pagano. But I find I like this one better. The book gives sufficient details for each exercise especially that the pictures show which muscles are involved in the exercise. I find this quite useful when you want to tackle a particular area/muscles. The only problem is that the book does not say anything about arms. Probably the author doesn't think women need arms which is not true though... If you do not definitely need the women's version then grab the general version Strength Training Anatomy rather than women's. The hubby's got that one. The writing styles/formats do not have much difference between the two just the latter is more comprehensive and has more pages (it covers arms!).

Frederic Delavier es un ilustrador que posee un control sobre la anatomía magistral. No compré este libro por su contenido de fitness ni ejercicio, sino por sus ilustraciones y para documentarme sobre todo sobre anatomía femenina para ilustradores, es dificil encontrar libros o ejemplos buenos de anatomía sobre todo de mujeres, pero aquí está la excepción. Detallado, minucioso y completo, si lo que estas buscando es documentación visual
