Stephen Fleck does a nice job here. The instructions are concise.
He tells you how to do a lift and he provides some tips to help you avoid doing a lift incorrectly. The shadow-man graphics make the proper form easy to recognize for most of the exercises.
The lifts are described with simple barbell and dumbbell examples as well as machine variations for those who have access to more expensive equipment. If you want to look at pictures of Mr. Universe skip this book. If you want sound instruction on long-term healthy lifting, this book is a good place to go.

This review is from: Successful Long-Term Weight Training (Paperback)

My only complaint is that not all exercises identify which muscles are being strengthened. I attend a Golds gym that uses Icarian equipment. Most machines have a front and rear view of the human form with areas of the body highlighted for each muscle being worked for each exercise. It would be nice to have something like this in the book. Other than that, there are 115 pages of exercise technique with pictures. Almost every exercise is covered.
