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.

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

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.

Excellent book , easy for a novice to follow

Excellent detailed read for any gym enthusiast

Another great book from this collection. Pages are not overwhelmed with information. The diagrams are clear. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to improve their training or has a general interest in this topic.

I love this book. It's really good for beginners but as an advanced person with training you can take from this book as well. Really well written book. Truly recommend it!!

I love the style and layout of DK books. I find them easy to follow and grasp the information.

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

¡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.

Vividly visual with clear descriptions of complex concepts, structures, and systems at work when working muscles. Following a strength training program @ the back & feeling it. Might mess with the aesthetic of the book series, but side tabs to reference the exercises would be the only improvement. Recommend customers spring for spiral-bound 🌀 esp if using for reference material or for looping exercises for workout.
