Average Rating: Rating: - This Is a Fantastic Book! There is a HUGE number of books dealing with anatomy for both athletes and artists. As an artist interested in anatomy, I have studied many of them, but I can say unequivocally that Frederic Delavier's book is without a doubt the BEST I have ever seen. Athletes will find this book particularly good because it is so easy to read and understand. This book should be required reading for artists as well, because it is probably the FIRST book ever written on the subject which seriously demonstrates in TRUE, COMPREHENSIVE detail the working muscles of the FEMALE body. Historically in art the female body is often portrayed WRONG, from a distorted masculine viewpoint--either like the ugly, distorted men-women of Michelangelo, or else the Vargas-Elvgren-Playboy fantasy pin-up idealization. Delavier corrects this error in perception and shows us the RIGHT viewpoint. He has a profound understanding of not just medical anatomy and strength training, but also of the classical tradition in art. His superb 3-way rendition of the Farnese Hercules, which has been drawn by many great artists like Rubens, clearly proves this. After studying this book, I fail to see how any artist can not agree that it clearly outclasses all the other books on the market today. Any artist or person interested in physical training--as well as medical and sport professionals--will also find it a really excellent book. I look forward to Delavier's future publications. Rating: - Excellent reference for weight training! This is the best reference book I have found for anyone interested in weight training. It gives very specific information on which muscles are used in many many weight-lifting exercises and, especially helpful, in different variations of these exercises. If you want to develop a routine that involves the different parts and aspects of a particular muscle group, this is a great place to look. The information is presented in an easy-to-understand written form and also visually with beautiful illustrations. I was very pleased to find that the illustrations include women's bodies as well as men's. This book presents complex information (which I have found missing or difficult to understand in other books) in a straight-forward and well-organized manner. The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish it had an index. I'm really glad I found this book! Rating: - Written specifically for the non-specialist general reader Strength Training Anatomy: Your Illustrated Guide To Muscles At Work by human anatomy expert Frederic Delavier is a detailed and extensively illustrated guide to how muscles work and the best exercise to strength train those muscles for optimum health and well-being. Written specifically for the non-specialist general reader, Strength Training Anatomy assumes no prior medical, anatomical, or weight room experience, and explicitly describes its variety of exercises and how to get the most out of a good workout. Strength Training Anatomy is highly recommended for personal, professional, and academic Physical Education and Body Building reference collections. If you are contemplating or involved with a strength building program of physical exercise and weight training, then give Frederic Delavier's Strength Training Anatomy a careful and considered reading.
