Anatomy of Strength Training - Pat Manocchia (Paperback)

To design a truly successful fitness or strengthening program, all you need are the 5 Essential Exercises: the deadlift, lunge, push-up, chin-up, and ab wheel. These powerful moves form the basis of any conditioning workout.Anatomy of Strength Training provides step-by-step instructions for dozens of variations on these five exercise groups and also illustrates the muscles in action, providing you with a deeper understanding of the effects of each exercise on your body. The ultimate objective of any strength-training program is this: effectiveness. First and foremost, effective strength training or musculoskeletal conditioning must address all of the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons of the body. This is because the body is a system, and that system (like any other system) is only as good as its weakest link. Motivate yourself and make your workouts more powerful and effective by seeing how your muscles actually work when you exercise with safe and proper form!
