Summary: Not what I had in mind
Comment: I was so excited to read a book especially designed for women, however once I opened it up it didn't take long before I was disappointed. This book gives many techniques that can only be done in a gym, on many different machines. If you enjoy training at home, on you own equipment, you will find that many of the exercises cannot be done without specific machines. The author shows a photo of a woman doing the exercise and then gives a VERY BRIEF description of what she is doing. He never addresses proper form of the exercises or what to be sure not to do in order to achieve maximum results and prevent injury. This book also seems to be focused towards women body builders or health competitors. Aproximately every chapter has a short story on a female weight trainer and they are all competitors. This told me alot about the author's goal of the book, because he seems to think that "perfect" is more bulky than I think the average woman pictures herself. In the cardio chapter the author tends to take off with his vast knowlege of training, and begins to lose the reader with his terms and points that he is trying to make, without giving you some background to what he is talking about. He also is ever sure to point out all of women's short comings and why she will never be able to train at the same level as a man wether it be weights, or cardio exercise (as if that was our goal). Bottom line, this book is aimed at satisfying the more Golds Gym, die-hard iron pumping, G-I Jane type, not a woman who wants to have a sleeker, sexier, but very feminine physique.

Summary: This is THE book for women who want lean strong bodies
Comment: Brad Schoenfeld does a wonderful job with this book. It is well thought out -- and moves you from the beginning exercises to the advanced. I have been doing the beginner exercises for about 8 weeks now and have seen a tremendous improvement in my body -- and my energy as well.
It is imperitive that you have access to a gym to work out. Or else you will have to have an extensive gym in your home.
I really learned a lot from this book -- and have every intention to continue my work outs. I know that I can get to the advanced levels -- but I am moving slowly so that I don't injure myself.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about starting a weight lifting program. I have learned more from this book than from the "personal trainers" at my gym.
Kudos to Brad!!

Summary: Excellent book for the intermediate exerciser!
Comment: For over a year, I had been working out at the gym on my own. I did not have a lot of previous knowledge on different exercises, or the machines or weights that should be used. So, I searched for a book at the library to use as a guide in my training. I have had this one in my possession for about three weeks, and just ordered my own copy.
I think this is a great book for someone who is not really new to strength training, but not for a pro either. The book really gives you good ideas on what you can do at the gym, without feeling intimidated because you are unsure of what you're doing. The descriptions of each exercise are helpful because the words are easy to understand...after all, this shouldn't be made more complicated with fancy words.
What I've doing now is incorporating a new exercise for a muscle group each week, just to familiarize myself with them. My old program was getting stale, and doing this spices it up!
