Summary: A very good book for beginners
Comment: I've been running and swimming for a long time, but I just started lifting weights recently.I was going to the gym and just using the machines but I didn't really know what I was doing. This book has been very helpful to me I have been following the programs here for a few weeks and feel really good. The workouts are well put together and there are pictures of all the exercises. The recommended weight seems a little low but I just made adjustments. Strength training anatomy is also a very good book that shows you which muscles are used in each exercise.

Summary: Your Gym Bag Essential
Comment: Thank you James Orvis for writing this book. This is a great companion for anyone with an interest in weight training, and once you read what he has to say, you will realize you must weight train. I had been stuck in a circuit rut at my gym, always too intimidated to figure out how the other machines worked. I got this book and it changed everything. He's got twelve weeks of workouts planned, three days a week. Every exercise is explained thoroughly, complete with pictures and pointers on common mistakes. The workouts are also great. They will keep you interested in your program and feeling great afterwards. The book is a paperback spiral, so it is perfect to bring to the gym and refer to during your workout. I highly recommend this book for everyone with an interest in weight training. It makes working out simple, yet challenging.

Summary: K.I.S.S. Works for me!
Comment: This book is stunningly simple, and therein lies its usefulness. The author seems to know his stuff: the workouts are progressive and varied, which pushes the body and keeps it reacting, rather than "settling in".
My only complaint is that the book assumes that one has access to a gym and certain machines, especially for leg exercises. It would have been nice to include alternative exercises for those who work out at home. What are the best substitutions for leg extensions and leg curls, for example?
