This review is from: Joe Weider's Bodybuilding System/Book and Charts (Hardcover)

This book is one of the best out there on bodybuilding. If you want to get in shape, the guidelines in this book give you a precise program to follow. This book isn't just for beiginners but is also for intermediate and advanced bodybulders. Programs are giving for all stages of bodybuilding. The charts provided are nice because you can take them along to the gym and they show you which exercises to perform on what day. Bodybuilding history and nutrition are also nicely covered in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have !! Will lead you in the right path for gains., November 30, 2003

I honestly can say that Weider's Principles and Bodybuilding System WORKS !!
The structure of the book and visual charts and pictures really go a long way to help you structure your own workouts. It's like having a personal trainer all the way, easily referrenced material and you must try the principles outlined to then go ahead and break any rules. But trust me, you will always come back to this system, and will learn to incorporate it automatically in your mind as you advance into your training workouts.
The beauty of this system is that it teaches you the TRUE ESSENCE of what bodybuilding and weight training is about (wether you need that little extra fitness, or you want to compete at pro level), there is no boring waste of time going into explicit detail of things you won't or don't want to know anyway.
There are many workout routines already tried and tested that are provided in the book, and you will actually enjoy them while being able to motivate and keep on track with your goals. This system makes your gains fun, and you will definately improve in the areas you want to concentrate on.
It helps to create a mentality of achievement by following a system. It also is a way of providing discipline which really is the main factor behind motivation.
For visual encouragement the charts are very detailed and great in your own personal gym, they also serve to remind you of what you have read and help you apply it incase you lose concentration during a workout.

The Book is great, but, it did not come with any of the charts, I know it was used but the sale said it came with the charts. But over all great book. You get what you paid for.
