Arranged by muscle group, this book explains the muscle group, and then has weight-bearing exercises to strengthen it, using both free weights and machines. There is a lot of very helpful information at the beginning about starting a strength training program. My only quarrel with this book is that it doesn't show how to do the exercises without a bench. When you're starting out (assuming you're not really strong already), you can do strength training with a small number of weights, a mat show more and a chair. show less
Not really my scene. Needed for class. Boring, tedious, dull. However, has all the info you need on the subject.
