Strength Training Anatomy, 3rd Edition Paperback
Strength Training Anatomy, 3rd Edition Paperback
I bought the 2nd edition of this book well over a
year ago when I was on a working out kick. Unfortunately life got in
the way and I stopped going to the gym for several months, and even when
I started back I only dabbled with cardio workouts. About 4 months ago
I started back on weights and dug out this book. Prior to that I
hadn't opened it. The book as it turns out had serious printing issues,
making much of it unusable. It was long past the time frame in which I
could have returned it to Amazon so I contacted the publisher, Human
Kinetics, instead. Their customer service was excellent! They were
aware of a small number of mis-prints that fit my description and were
more than happy to replace it. The CS person asked if it would be ok if
the replacement was delayed a few weeks until the 3rd edition was
available which greatly pleased me. I received the new book about a
week ago and it was in perfect condition. Many thanks to the HK folks
for their fine customer service!
For those that don't already know what's in this book let me explain in detail. Everyone has seen the anatomy posters on the gym walls. The individual caricatures on the posters display a cut-away model of the human body sans skin. It highlights a muscle or group of muscles and then shows you an exercise that you can use to work that specific muscle. There usually isn't much more detail than that. Text is minimal. This book is at it basics a book version of those posters. However this book goes much, much further. The caricatures for individual muscles and muscle groups in this book usually have multiple exercise options. Text in this book explains in detail how to properly perform the exercise.Read more
