I actually used to carry this book with me to the gym. It's that helpful, and it covers just about anything you can think of, including diet. Unlike all those books and magazines today that are strictly all about being GQ in the gym, and edit and rewrite their articles just to make a buck, this book covers the down-and-dirty, all-original methods of improving, building, and maintaining your body. One of the better bodybuilding books of yesteryear, coming from the one who knows best, Joe Weider.

This is a comprehensive, fully illustrated, fully described, and straight to the point reference on exercises, principles of training, programs, and nutrition for serious bodybuilders and anyone looking to gain muscular mass without injuring himself.
This book is useful for anyone, no matter how much time you have being lifting weights. It has dedicated chapters with information and tips for novice, intermediate and advanced bodybuilders.

I bought this book after about 3 months of working out following the Body for Life book. This is a great book for beginners because it gives a breakdown of basic anatomy and excercises that a beginner should know and outlines beginning workouts through intermediate and advanced routines and training principles. There is a great library of different exercises and photographs outlining the proper form and use for each exercise. The book is a little older and some of the information seems a little dated but it will help you build an excellent foundation to work from. The nutrition section is a little lacking though and even the beginner routines seem a little extreme for a true beginner. I would recommend this book to anyone who has been weight training for at least 3 or 4 months or is already in decent shape and looking to advance. A great book for true beginners is the Body for Life book.

When I was a university student 14 years ago, I followed this book to the letter - 3 days in the gym every week for six months and then a split system which got me in the gym 4 days a week for another year or so.
In hindsight, it worked (as any beginner gets a little bigger anyway just by heading to the gym) but I picked up a copy of BRAWN a year later - training twice a week just focussing on the big exercises and realised far better results.
This book is good for motivation, a trip down memory lane for some; it has some good ideas but generally the routines aren't suitable for anyone training without steroids. I wonder why Joe Weider never discussed the issue when obviously so many, if not all contributors, depended on steriods to realize their success...

I am still reading this book and so far it is great. It keeps getting better with every page. This book has shown me a different understanding from the sport then other books. A must have for any bodybuilding collection.
