Women's Strength Training Anatomy

This book is excellent for understanding and learning about movement and training for women. I can also understand a little more about muscle and bone movement.

Great book lots of exercises to choose from. Very detailed diagrams and clear description of the movement. Diagrams of the anatomy are *very* detailed Great reference guide

This is really good book, it has a lot of information and we can see how our body works during exercises

Great workout education for the novice to the advanced professional. In this book you will gain insights into the skeletal/tendon/ligament and muscular structure is a highly illustrated and detaileds fashion. It is a necessary guide to healthy exercises that target specific muscle groups through strength training regimens. This great resource takes all of the guess work out of the applicable knowledge of anatomy, muscle movement through range of motion, and maximizing muscle efforts throughout workouts. This is like an advanced college course in exercise science for $14! A must buy!

I thought this book was pretty good. I loved the display of muscles worked from a scientific viewpoint (opposed to shading on the body to show what muscles are being worked or what the machine is for). You actually see your muscles highlighted on your skeletal frame. This book also shows proper form and tears to the muscle groups if you do not use the proper movement. This book also makes it simple to understand how to do an exercise by showing range of motion diagrams. The only thing I didn't like about this book was that arms (tricepts and bicepts) were not covered as if women don't need to work them (smile). So I also bought the Strength Training Anatomy Book (same author) which is actually the one I recommend because its in essence the same book, same things covered but you get your bicepts and tricepts as well. There are diagrams of women in this book as well. But all in all both books are VERY helpful and productive for all workout levels. If you can read and follow directions well you should have no problems using this book. Hope this helps.

I have his Strength Training Anatomy which shows both male and female bodies, but this is perfect if you're already knowledgable, actively workout and either want to learn or sharpen your anatomy skills. It's also fantastic at showing detailed exercises for every single female body part there is. For beginners. For experts. This book ROCKS! No serious workout should be without this book!

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.

What happened to upper body? No arms, shoulders, back is an after-thought for a couple pages at the end of the book. I should have read the product description more carefully. I just bought the other version next that seems more inclusive. There's alot of good info on lower body here, it's just not fully comprehensive enough to use for a full-body reference. I don't undestand why they left the rest out.

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.

Great Illustrations!. You know clearly the exercise and muscles that are being used.

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

This book is an excellent gift for any of your female friends and family members.
