Summary: Great stuff i bet you didnt know
Comment: This book is great for beginners mainly but is directed to everyone, is very scientific but on the same way shows lots of good exercises and variations that one can perform. I think is a great source of knowledge but that the workouts are a little hard to follow so I'd say get info from here and integrate it to your routine.

Summary: Transformational
Comment: Following the workouts and nutrition advice in this book have been the only way I have ever gained weight in an exercise program. The focus on building the connective tissues, tendons and joints while not overtraining is emphasized in this book with tremendous results. My old weightlifting injuries have been rehabilitated through these programs, and the results are noticeable from one week to the next, especially when the programs shift gears. Even better, my progress does not atrophy if I take a week or two break since Ian King's programs build a solid foundation that literally builds onto your body. This is my second time through the program (after taking a break with no access to a gym) and I have already gained 6 lbs of muscle in my first 6 weeks. I have never been so humbled by a workout program! If you follow the program to the letter, expect a deep burn in your muscles and you will be so sore the next day you will feel as though you worked out twice.

Summary: Good book
Comment: My very first book on lifting weights I ever bought. This book helped me a lot and I learnt a great deal from this book. This book is a great book for anyone looking for a great read and new ideas in the weight room.
Customer Rating:
Summary: NOT for the beginner
Comment: I'm an avid reader of Men's Health but this book is by no means for the "average guy." This book is filled with lots of great tips for those who want to be professional weight lifters but I would never recommend this to a beginner. A workout book should inspire you...this book was so complicated and intimidating I was discouraged before even hitting the gym.

Exercise ain't easy. The body is a complicated machine, with 650 muscles and 250 million individual muscle fibers. Some would say taming those fibers and building strong, healthy muscles is not an act of labor. Some would say it's an art. Here's a book worthy of that art. The Men's Health Book of Muscle is the big, lavishly illustrated, full-color coffee table book that only Men's Health could produce-one that doubles as the ultimate guide to building a better body. The goal of The Book of Muscle is simple: create a beautiful, artistic guide to the body that also helps guys build great physiques by showing in detail how muscles work and how that knowledge can be put to use. Inside, you'll find lush anatomical illustrations and photographs of a quality that no other book on fitness can match. You'll also find complex biological information, boiled down to language any guy can understand, and three 6-month workout programs, one each for beginner, intermediate, and advanced lifters. It's big muscles, big benefit, and beautiful all at the same time. It's the book you've always wanted from the guys at Men's Health, the fitness experts you trust.
