All bases ... and more!

This book of over 250 pages contains all the basics necessary for good practice and a good understanding of bodybuilding.
Everything is very clear and very educational, without being off-putting nor too technical: how a muscle acquires strength, how it develops endurance, how he hypertrophy, how to get the most out of the different types of resistance (Hands , weights, elastic bands, plyometrics ...), etc ...
The book goes far beyond a simple presentation of databases (eg do you know what the theory of inroad?) And describes a method in 20 steps for developing its own program.
Then addressed the exercises for different muscle groups, each with advantages and disadvantages, followed the examples of programs, both for profit than for aesthetic bodybuilding sports purposes (over 50 programs in over 30 sports , not to mention injury prevention programs!).
Unjustified criticism is really heartbreaking: such admits having set minimum without having read the book and without intending to do so (sic), another accuses the authors of mocking the world by advocating squats with dumbbells 10 kg while the book at length insists on the principle of progressive overload weight, etc ... etc ...!
I highly recommend this book every time I get the opportunity to all who wish to train with minimal equipment (dumbbells, pull bar and elastic bands -which are not a mere fad, everything is explained in the book) ... minimum equipment which is ultimately the most appropriate in case of doubt about the possibilities offered by its own morphology: dumbbells, bars or machines? It is in Volume 2, which begins where it ends, and develops in detail the principle of an anatomical-morphological practice of bodybuilding!
