Summary: Simple but true
Comment: Having lifted for years, I was looking for a book to inspire my mother-in-law who has expressed an interested in weight training but seems intimidated by the "foreign-ness" of the gym scene. When I stumbled on this informative and surprisingly amusing book, I knew I'd found what I was looking for. While this book is clearly written for beginners -- picking a gym, basic technique, etc. -- it offers some good routines for experienced lifters and debunks various myths that you constantly hear in the gym like "I don't want to lift heavy weights because it will make me 'too big'." The illustrations are helpful and the prose easy to follow. If you've thought, "I've got to get back to the gym" or know someone who feels the same, check this book out.

Summary: Great introduction/reference for weight training
Comment: I'm glad I started with this book...it's well organized and very thorough. Covers all the essential things a person should know to get started in the weight room. It's also going to stay on my shelf for a long time as a reference, because it gives good tips on form, exercises, etc., as well as for other things that might pop up. you will probably want more info as you get more into training, but this book will continue to be of use as a reference.

Summary: Perfect Start, Proven Results
Comment: After many years of doing very little exercise, I returned to the gym about a year ago. I purchased this book 3 months later and read it cover to cover, an enjoyable read. I continue to use the book as a reference to add additional and change exercises on a regular basis. Having followed some of the sample routines they provide, I can attest to a significant increase in strength and in general well-being. There are enough details and variations to satisfy someone just starting or getting more serious about lifting. I recommend this book - and thank the authors.
