The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding : The Bible of Bodybuilding, Fully Updated and Revised

Please read title of this post! Good luck to all! Best reference ever. It contains everything from history to training to contest and diet. Awesome!

Arnold Schwarzenegger's New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding is an immensely helpful book. Its 800 pages are carefully organized into broad sections on diet, competition, training programs, exercises for specific muscle groups, and even the history of bodybuilding.

What I found most helpful were the straightforward descriptions of exercises and equipment, and the many, many illustrations. After buying this book I immediately improved my workout regimen, and while I may never be an Arnold (one function of this book is to keep the amateur humble), I'm certainly better off than before.

Highly recommended.

Come on....its Arnold were talking about. If you into fitness and proper technique....this is your book.

I bought this book for my husband because he is into bodybuilding. He reads it all the time. He has found out so much information that he did'nt know and some that confirmed what he did know. This book shows proper techniques to use in order to get to the body you would like to be. It also has plans and charts to go by which is a good way to keep up with your training and progress.

Very analytical and a the same time simple to understand guide to bodybuilding and fitness
