The Strength Training Anatomy Workout II

What an amazing book, even if you go through the index you will realize that it is the book which holds all the answers to questions which you keep asking yourself or search the web but still cant get definitive answers. It has the explanation and possible solutions for the problems which regular gym goers face, like unable to get definition in some muscle group or reason for doing some sets soneway. Different techniques to achive better result How muscles work and how they build up. It is so informative that i cant stop reading it but at the same time i want to stop and may be take notes because it is too much informartion to grasp in one go. I have been working out for years on and off, and I have also faces some issues like not able to get enough deginition in some mucle groups or having some muscle under developed than other. I have only read 30 pages till jow and skim through index and it feels like this is best book I got for fitness in years. I am glad that i got this book and suggest anyone for it. It van be informative for beginners but most useful for those who are working out for sometime now without much of in-depth knowledge about muscles and its recruitment. Close your eyes and get one, I am sure you wont be disappointed.

Best book

Questo libro (STA Workout 2) descrive con dettaglio gli allenamenti di BB che si possono eseguire in palestra. Il testo STA Workout 1 è invece dedicato a chi si allena a casa. Molto belli i disegni, lespiegazioni degli esercizi e possibili routine di allenamento a fine testo. Consigliatissimo.

I was a competitive athlete for most of my youth but have never had any one-on-one coaching or training as far as the gym. This book gives thorough, detailed explanations along with anatomy descriptions and little tidbits about anatomical differences that may impact certain exercises, or results. I've learned a LOT from it and have definitely taken my workouts up a notch (...or two!). Absolutely recommend.

Found this book invaluable for arranging my home workouts, very easy to follow with superb diagrams. There is so much information in this book I’ve read it over a few times. The introductory sections and chapters on shoulders and back are exceptional. A focus on performing exercises safely is also continued throughout. I bought part 1 of this series which focuses on workouts using dumbbells and bands only and is aimed at beginners. This book includes exercises using machines like the bench press and cables. Highly recommend it!

Highly recomend for anyone with a moderate knowledge of the principles of exercise, recovery and muscle growth. Great information and anatomically correct diagrams to assist in understanding. Having seen a copy in the university library I think there is no bigger recommendation than this
