Book Review: Eliminate the scattergun approach to execise selection.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an expanded version of Tesch's groundbreaking book MUSCLE MEETS MAGNET. Over the years hundreds of resistance exercises have been devised. Part of the motivation for the proliferation of exercises was the often intuitive belief that since each body part had many muscles and most muscles had mutiple heads, then mutliple exercises would be needed to produce complete development. Per Tesch uses MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)not only to prove beyond doubt that the intuition was correct, but to examine how various popular execises for the upper arms, thighs, and calves affect (or don't affect)individual muscle groups. If you are beginner, this book can help you take giant strides toward becoming an expert. Just the knowledge that will allow you to replace redundant exercises with ones for more complete development is worth several times the price of the book. Even if you are an advanced bodybuilder you'll still pick up some new information as well find out why certain execises seem to work for you. Each exercise is illustrated by photographs and a cross sectional diagram of the upper arm, thigh, or calf based on an MRI which shows portions of muscles that recieved greatest stimulation. The Table of Contents makes it easy to locate each exercise. A Muscle Use Guide and actual basic, intermediate, and advanced body part programs are included help the reader to design his or her own programs. While this book doesn't take on the popular buns and abs groups it is a great addition to any bodybuilding library.
