Science of Strength Training: Understand the Anatomy and Physiology to Transform Your Body (The Science of Fitness)

I've been a gym member for many years and into weight training. I bought this book a couple of years ago and have just ordered a copy for my daughter who has recently started strength training. It's one of the best I have read on the subject and would recommend it to anyone interested in strength training whether a beginner or experienced. It covers everything you need to know, from how muscles work, grow and gain strength to what exercises you need to do for what muscle groups. It has good quality drawings of the anatomy and a wide range of the different types of exercises for different muscle groups with information on how to do the exercises safely. It also covers nutrition and how to create a progressive strength training program for improvement. A great reference book which covers everything you need to know. The only slight criticism I can think of; the annotations on the drawings are a little small, but still 5 stars from me.

Great book! As a newbie to the gym and strength training this book helps me understand what I need to do

Enjoyed learning about the different body parts, muscles, tendons and everything Strength Training enhances. Simple and well structured, interesting and precise, I keep going back to different parts of the book to gain knowledge.

Provides the 'why' and helpful to put workouts together .really helpful for preparing gym sessions fab photos , explanations.

Excellent book , easy for a novice to follow

Excellent detailed read for any gym enthusiast

Fantastic, did need to have a second read of first part, but very interesting and good book, 😊😊

Nice format just hard to read for a dyslexic

This book tells you the science behind strength training, and with the knowledge I started training much better than before. It even gives you a workout plan for different goals and technique behind every exercise 👍 The only issue for me is that there are nearly no exercises that you could do without equipment.

Very good book

Very informative

¡Me encanto! es un libro que viene super bien ilustrado y facil de comprender. Aborda temas desde los mitos que se pueden tener en estas practicas hasta temas de gasto energetico y planeación. Espero pronto este la version traducida a la venta en amazon para compartirlo con mis colegas

Best book ever! Whoever wants to gain knowledge about proper training and physiology together with improving your lifestyle and technique in training then this is the book for you. As a personal trainer, reading this book helped me know at a deeper level the importance of strength training.
