Summary: Excellent descriptions and pictures of exercises but...
Comment: This book had great descriptions and pictures of many types of exercises for each body part, with numerous variations. As far as an encyclopedia of exercises this book is thorough and very useful. As an intermediate lifter I refer to this book when considering altering my routine and substituting exercises to work specific areas.
However the book also reads like a propaganda piece for Golds gym. It is repleat with statements about how it is the best gym in the world, famous European lifters dream of going there, it is the most inspiring place, etc... The text sounds alot like the bottom review, which is nearly directly cut and pasted from the intro. Also the nutrition and supplement sections are very vague, not particularly describing what vitamins might be good, or why.
Finally the lifting recommendations are all HIT training, that is high intensity training, short trips to the gym, ie. 45 min intense work outs. Other theories are excluded. Although I use it as a reference for exercises, the other stuff would make me prefer Arnolds encyclopedia or the various Ironman's books.

Summary: THIS IS A GOOD BOOK FOR THE BEGEINER
Comment: THIS IS A REALLY GOOD BOOK IF YOUR JUST STARTING OF. IAM ONLY SEVENTEEN AND THIS WAS A GOOD BOOK FOR ME TOO READ. IT TALKS ABOUT THE STUFF THAT IS REALLY OVER LOOKED LIKE NUTRITION(PROTEIN, CARBOHYDRATES, AND FATS). IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS AND THE DANGERS OF DRUGS, IT ALSO NAMES ALL THE ILLEGAL DRUGS THAT MOST PEOPLE USE FOR BODYBUILDING. THIS A REALL GOOD BEGEINERS BOOK.

Summary: Excellent.......
Comment: Excellent if somewhat dated. A very useful text but not a manual...... an encyclopaedia.... as the title states. I've just bought another one to replace the one I lost when I lent it to someone.
