Weight Training For Dummies

Great book, great basics. This is a great book to get clarification on weight training lingo, techniques etc. I have been doing weight training for many years and learned some things. I know this book is not biased by someone trying to sell me a supplement and piece of equipment. I have never read any of the "Dummies" books but I will look into other topics going forward.

This book is just right for a weight dabbler that needs to get serious; The book, clearly, explains what you need to know to plan your own weight routines for effective gains and in a safe manner. Be sure and read the intro which tells you the book layout in case you think you won't read cover to cover.

What can I say? It's what I wanted and it's very typical of the "Dummies" line--that's why I bought it. Unlike some complained, the pics are quite clear.

At home weight training, with gym options.

Get the first edition of this book if you can find it. The edition is big on pushing the personal trainer industry. However, it still has some excellent information without the hype.

The book contains everything hat you need to inform you and assist you in setting up your own program. I made up my paper work out program to keep a record of my progress. This is great. I highly recommend this product.

I am a novice for working out with weights. I purchased this book for myself. The contents of the book is very straight forward. I like it a lot

There is a lot of good information for a beginner and the more experienced. However, it doesn't seem well organized. The information is all there but you have to refer to later (or earlier) chapters to figure it all out. I have the Kindle version. It may be easier with a hard copy that you can flip and mark through pages. I know, you can do that with the Kindle but it just isn't as elegant.

A good book to keep for reference
