Strength Training (Dk) Paperback – Big Book, 20 November 2009

Good price.

Bought this years ago, lent it to a friend and then eventually had to buy another copy. Really useful as it shows all the exercises that you need to do for which muscle and how to do them in good form. The big exercises are one per page, smaller exercises are two per page. It's not spiral bound, but the pages open flat without you having to hold them down.This book is a useful addition to all the other books like  The Strength Training Anatomy Workout  which gives workouts that will increase size faster. II would also recommend  Dinosaur Training Secrets  if you want to do squat, deadlifts and bench presses correctly. The Strength Training Anatomy WorkoutDinosaur Training Secrets

A brilliantly illustrated and technically accurate book that has become my training bible. It was recommended by my wellness coach who introduced me to weights about 9 months ago, and since then I have seen really dramatic improvements in power and muscle mass. 'Strength Training' has enabled me to bring more exercise variety into my weights programmes. It's a fabulous buy, great value for money, and a must have for anyone doing weights.

I first came across the the "condensed" (novel size) version of this book which appeared as a freebie with the March 2011 edition of Men's Health (UK). That condensed version inspired me to buy the full version, and I've not been disapointed. Dorling Kindersley are experts at producing clear concise and easy to read factual and explanitory books, and in "Strengh Training" they applied that expertise to the maximum.I guess I sort-of collect fitness and training books, pulling information here and there to update and refresh my workouts as I go along. A few of those books are great, most are good, and some have been awful, but not one of them is so clear, well written, and presented as this book. The only thing this book seems to lack is enthusiasm, it is in some ways too factual (lacking any sense of humor), but with everything else going for it this is nothing more than a minor niggle.All in all, this is the best novice to intermediate level book on the subject of strength training I've yet found.

Excellent, clearly illustrated and written manual on weight training. Good reference book. Everyone interested in strength training should own a copy.

Excellent book. it is difficult looking for books on the internet as you really want to get a feel for them. I kept coming back to this one and was so glad I decided to go for it. Good explanations to the steps to take to carry out the exercises and warning so not to injure yourself. This is my go to book and i am happy to recommend to others starting out or advancing.
