5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Helpful, December 28, 2004

P. Dotson "VMFA 312" (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Winning Bodybuilding (Paperback)

This little old book, published over 25 years ago, is still one of the best books out there for getting into bodybuilding. What it lacks in specifics for nutrition can be made up elsewhere, but what it contains for no-nonsense lifting advice is stellar. Anyone who wants excellent information related to lifting, without a huge and expensive tome to tote around should buy this old standard.

Joseph S. Maresca "Dr. Joseph S. Maresca CPA,... (Bronxville, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Winning Bodybuilding (Paperback)

The author begins with an explanation of what makes a muscle grow. He explains body types, the bone structure and basic
principles. The work is segmented into beginning, intermediate
and advanced body-building. The author depicts various exercises
and explains the nutritional dimension to weight-lifting.
Overall, this is an excellent book for beginning, intermediate
and advanced lifters.

By A Customer

This review is from: Winning Bodybuilding (Paperback)

This book was my first introduction to Bodybuilding. Franco explains everything in this book from body types to diet and training routines. A helpful book for anyone just starting out or for the advancedlifters out there.
