 Le Book is good November 29, 2008

Wonderfully illustrated book makes it easy to understand which exercises are right for each muscle group. Very educational and also useful as a motivational tool. Only problem is its published and printed in France (written in English). Viva La Freedom Fries!
Anatomy - organized by exercise November 29, 2008

I went through a pile of exercise, weightlifting, and fitness anatomy books before buying this one. Strength Training Anatomy not only illustrates and describes - in detail - the anatomy involved in each exercise, but does so for more exercises than comparable books. It also doesn't shy away from using the proper terms. I particularly like that the exercise coverage hits a number of variations. You'll find a number of curls, press, and fly variations, for example, with comments on their differences as it relates to anatomy. There are also sidebars throughout the book on common injuries.
The anatomy is more than just muscles, too. Bones, tendons and ligaments, and gender differences are covered in detail. Variations among individuals are touched on where they are important to training (e.g., elbow structures, hip mobility). There is a 3-page detailed muscular system illustration at the front of the book, and a 2-page detailed skeleton illustration in the back of the book, along with a handy illustration of major muscle groups.
Execution details are given for each exercise, along with comments on training effect and purpose. Again, these comments are in considerable detail, making this volume a superb source of material for anyone involved in corrective training.
The only thing missing, in my view, is a good index. A cross-reference of muscle by exercise would also be a nice thing to have.
My favorite single illustration has to be the muscles involved in the deadlift. If ever a picture made Pavel Tsatsouline's case for his Power to the People book (focused on deadlift and press) - Power to the People! : Russian Strength Training Secrets for Every American, this would be it.
This is a terrific book - 144 pages that can be used superficially as a quick training aid or for detailed study. It manages to serve both purposes well without one getting in the way of the other.
