  • Holy Grail of all fitness books.

    This book is a excellent guide for diet and exercise. It explains the tiny details of everything like what to eat, what exercise program to use for a specific goal, how to perform the exercise correctly, and what supplements you take for your body. It is very science orientated, as it goes into detail of how to the most out of everything. It thoroughly tells science of the exercise and programs, what the supplements do for your body, as well as the specific part of the body that you wanna work on. It's very neatly written, laid out, and easy to find. If you are dedicated in building muscle, strength, and having a health diet than I highly recommend this book for you.

  • One of the Best!

    One of the top 2 or 3 best all-around training encyclopedias. I would rank Arrnold's Encyclopedia first...and then this one is probably second. Also this one is more updated with the latest training and nutrition. Highly recommend for anyone serious about weight training.
