The best muscle training book ever written
This modern encyclopedia of bodybuilding is probably one of the most factual and interesting guides to becoming or training to become a bodybuilder. Even for the person who wishes to learn the physiology of the human body and what makes it tick, this book will become a bible and the best start to motivating ones self to train to the limit.

Schwarzenegger puts into perspective the pure concentration and drive needed to be able to achive the perfect symetrical body and gives a insight into the world and life of a bodybuilder, with good nutritional advice, multiple streches and exercises for each individual set of muscle and the secrets into what made this man a muti Mr olympian Winner this book is sure to make any reader want to pick up his towel and hit the gym!

the Bible of bodybuilding!
This book is all you need when it comes to bodybuilding, its just a Bible! Everything you want to know about every exercise on every muscle group is in this book. Its all explained in both writing and hundreds of pictures so you know exactly how to train. If you havent got it, get it! Dont waste your money on other bodybuilding books because nothing can even touch this book!!!

Only down side; its an excercise book and doesnt really go into depth on nutrition. If you want a great book on nutrition then check out 'Franco Columbu's book of nutrition'. After all, Arnie wouldnt have looked so great if it wasnt for alittle help from his training partner and nutrition expert Franco!

Worth every penny
I have been weightlifting for a couple of years now and whilst i have had results i had not been satisfied with them. Since buying this book, i have learnt a number of things which has lead me to begin a new training regime. After just a few short weeks the results are clear to see.
There is no need for you to buy any other book once you have this one, it has everything you will ever need to be a sucessful bodybuilder.
