5.0 out of 5 stars If you only buy 3 books on bodybuilding, this should be one., November 2, 1999

By A Customer

Contains all of the classic excercises and routines. This is a great back-to-basics source and was the source for most of the excercises I used to become huge 12 years ago. After years of neglect I dug it out and started building my routine again (all-natural, this time). There's no substitute for hard work and this book describes correct form and intensification techniques. Combine it with The Complete Book of Abs and Bikram's Beginning Yoga, for a powerhouse workout trio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Follow it religiously, December 17, 2002

By	dasn0wman "dasn0wman" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews

If you want to get big, follow everything what this book says, religiously. This is the best book in bodybuilding I read so far. You may also want to read "Arnold's Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding". Another comprehensive although lengthy book. Only read this if you are serious. But for everyone else, Weider's book is fine and to the point. I have been working out for four years now and I must say the most important things about building muscle is not to overdo it, change it up often to trick the muscles, and mentally, think BIG. I believe these are universal points because as you will find out, many muscle building tips are not and are different for everyone.
