This book contains the basic elements you need to know if you are exercising or wish to exercise with weights. It analyzes and outlines over 400 exercises that you can do either at the gym or at home, using conventional equipment and tools (bars, dumbbells, etc.). It also informs you about training systems (methods), provides useful advice, answers many of your common questions, and suggests the best possible ways to create your own effective program or to improve what you are currently doing. Whether you are exercising or want to exercise with weights, whether you are a 'simple' trainee or a competitive athlete, this book can satisfy your need to 'learn more' and help you achieve the results you desire, without risking your physical integrity with dangerous exercises and without wasting your time with wrong choices.

If you overlook the poor depiction of exercise sketches, it is an excellent book. I highly recommend it
The book is very good overall. It is well-written and detailed in describing the basic exercises, accompanied by simple sketches (don't expect anything crazy, but they help) where various tips and points of caution are given. The book would be perfect if the chapter "basic elements of anatomy-kinetics" was also accompanied by images, so that the excellent text would be even more understandable and you wouldn't have to search on Google for images. In the programs, it suggests full body and upper/lower without having variety and other examples (e.g. push/pull, etc.) for ideas, while explaining some basic training systems (circuit training, super sets, triple sets, etc.). Regardless, as I mentioned, it is a very good book overall.
Something that surprised me is that there is no bibliography at the end. It's like telling us that the text is a virgin birth.
