This book has very good information on the muscle group that is used when doing a particular exercise. It works every muscle group you have, from the neck to your toes. The only downfall I see about this book is that its ONLY a informative book. Meaning, it doesnt tell you how many sets to do, the schedule you should go with, or how intense the exercise is. But it will be useful for the experienced lifter, but for the rookie like me, I would need a little more guidence. Im sure it will be more useful when I know what exercises and sets I have to work with.

Awesome!!! by D. Jennings

This book just details the muscles that get engaged when performing an exercise. It doesn't really talk about how many times we should workout in a week, what to eat, how to combine exercise etc...all that is in the book is just the exercises and a small explanation on the muscles that is engaged while performing the workout. I would not recommend this to people trying to develop their body and needing a guide.
