Get an intricate look at strength training from the inside out. "Strength Training Anatomy", with over 760,000 copies already sold, brings anatomy to life with more than 400 full-color illustrations. This detailed artwork showcases the muscles used during each exercise and delineates how these muscles interact with surrounding joints and skeletal structures. Like having an X-ray for each exercise, the information gives you a multilateral view of strength training not seen in any other resource. This updated bestseller also contains new information on common strength training injuries and preventive measures to help you exercise safely. Chapters are devoted to each major muscle group, with 115 total exercises for arms, shoulders, chest, back, legs, buttocks, and abdomen. Review: Worth it for the illustrations alone - I picked this up from World of Books, via desertcart, for under £5 including shipping. The book is more or less in mint condition. There's no indication from the spine or the pages that the book has ever even been opened, let alone read. There's a sticker on the front cover and some residue on the back cover, presumably from where a sticker was removed. As for the content, this is not a training manual. You won't find any routines in here or recommendations on how many sets to perform or how often. The author does occasionally mention how many reps to do on an exercise. The book is a detailed breakdown of the muscles involved in roughly a hundred exercises, how to perform those exercises, the variations of such exercises and, occasionally, the dangers of certain exercises and why certain people might want to about them. For example the author mentions why certain people should avoid barbell curls and why everyone needs to find the right range of motion for themselves on lateral raises. However, what really makes this book special is the wonderful illustrations. I've recently gotten bogged down beating myself up with the same heavy compound exercises week after week. I recently started thinking about what exercises if like to introduce for specific muscle groups and this book is just the thing. The illustrations and explanations are so detailed, they really give good for thought as well as inspiration. If you can pick good used for for under a fiver, it's a no brainer. But the the illustrations alone, I think the new edition at full price would be worth it. Review: A crucial addition to your bookshelf - For anyone interested in strength training, or in particular, in the anatomical aspects of weight training, this is simply an excellent resource. Firstly, and from a female perspective, a refreshing feature of this book is that it is aimed at women too, but not in the usual patronising manner. Secondly, its strength is that as a reader you're not swamped by the science of it; there is not much text but it does serve well as a starting point for those with no anatomical or physiological background. Instead it's for the reader to extract as much or as little information as required from the detailed diagrams on each page. It is very clearly and logically laid-out, which also makes it engaging, without having to flick back and forth through it. In essence, it pretty much presents you with all you need to know to structure your strength training regime via a series of easy-to-follow yet highly informative anatomical diagrams. The sections on injuries are presented in a similar fashion and of course make it all the more of a gem. Another plus point to note is that the book is biased in favour of free weights over machines - which at least means you don't need expensive gym membership to make use if it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 67,337 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 35 in Rugby Coaching 37 in Basketball Coaching 42 in Tennis Coaching | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 540 Reviews | ## Images ![Strength Training Anatomy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71M9HZsUczL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it for the illustrations alone *by C***N on 11 August 2021* I picked this up from World of Books, via Amazon, for under £5 including shipping.

Firstly, and from a female perspective, a refreshing feature of this book is that it is aimed at women too, but not in the usual patronising manner. Secondly, its strength is that as a reader you're not swamped by the science of it; there is not much text but it does serve well as a starting point for those with no anatomical or physiological background. Instead it's for the reader to extract as much or as little information as required from the detailed diagrams on each page.

In essence, it pretty much presents you with all you need to know to structure your strength training regime via a series of easy-to-follow yet highly informative anatomical diagrams. The sections on injuries are presented in a similar fashion and of course make it all the more of a gem. Another plus point to note is that the book is biased in favour of free weights over machines - which at least means you don't need expensive gym membership to make use if it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Reference *by G***B on 7 January 2011* This is not a body building book but shows you all of the different types of exercises for the different types of muscles - allowing you to create your own workout or supplement you current workout. Its also a good source for alternative exercises to maybe avoid an injury prone area. The book is broken down into sections such as shoulders, chest, arms etc and each section is colour coded, so that you can see which muscles and amount of muscles you are working by doing that particular exercise. It also gives details of how to do a particular exercise along with the relevant breathing (when to inhale and exhale) and gives you hints and tips on prone areas such as elbows and shoulders. Worthwhile supplement to your own body building library and as a constant point of reference but not enough on its own to start weight training. ## Frequently Bought Together - Strength Training Anatomy - 2nd Edition - Strength Training Anatomy - The Strength Training Anatomy Workout: Starting Strength with Bodyweight Training and Minimal Equipment --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/65843696-strength-training-anatomy](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/65843696-strength-training-anatomy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
