5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive guide to your best body!, December 16, 1999

I love this book! It is jam packed with info to help you achieve a buff body. In the past I have found many of "Musclemag International's" books to be slim in both pages and information. Not this book. It packs a walloping 320 pages and is larger than average. The material given covers almost everything you would want to know about perfecting your physique. It includes not only tons of detailed info. on weight training and nutrition, but also gives information on makeup, surgery, fitness competitions etc. Lots of solid advice. The book also includes a number of black and white photos of fitness models like Debbie Kruck, Brandi Carrier, Monica Brant and others. I think this is one of the best fitness books for women on the market!

1.0 out of 5 stars All Fluff and No Real Content, January 10, 2003

By A Customer

I bought this book because I'm a gym and fitness addict and also suscrible to Oxygen magazine which is a MuscleMag publication. I expected this book to provide some real information on women's fitness and bodybuilding. I was really disapointed to see that it was nothing more than pictures of fitness models and fitness competitors. All the topics covered in the book are only covered on a very, very superficial level. I did not learn a single thing that I didnt' already know. This book really isn't worth the money, in fact I ended up returning it and buying another bodybuidling book published by Human Kinetics.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing but Pure Garbage, December 7, 2002

By	Tonya Johnson "tjaded1" (brooklyn, ny United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am interested in body building for fitness (beginner).
I was thoroughly [cheesed off] as I read this book and so was my husband. It's not a serious book it's all about showcasing women who have built their bodies to enter contests. They're not beautiful maybe one or two are,But I did not by this book to look at women I bought this book thinking it had speical form pointers,advice and tips for women trying to bodybuild since It's a lot tougher for the avg woman to build muscle,tone etc.
All I got was stuff I already knew avg stuff at that, something anyone could have figured out with common sense. I am [more than mildly irritated]. On the other hand I bought a very good book That I was pleased with by Frank Melfa(Bodybuilding a realistic approach & Strength training anatomy (diff auth), I was pleasantly pleased and found these two books to be helpful,practical and very informative not only that but I showed this book to a fitness trainer who I couldn't afford and they too thought these two books were excellent book guides/references.
