Question about Strength Training Anatomy book

[Elaine Keller]

There are two Strength Training Anatomy books by Frederic Delavier available. One is titled "Strength Training Anatomy" and the other is "Strength Training Anatomy for Women"

I'm wondering which one I would benefit from the most. Is the book written specifically for women comprehensive? Does it contain variations and/or modifications?

Do any of you own either of these books and if you do, which one would you recommend?

Thanks!

I believe Cathe recommends the "Strength Training Anatomy for Women".

Another good one is Schoenfeld: Sculpting Her Body Perfect.

Does Sculpting Her Body Perfect have illustrations of anatomy?

 

[macska]

Yes. It is a very easy to read book and most of all, very easy to understand. I like this book and use it a lot.

I have Strength Training Anatomy. I highly recommend it! It was like my bible when I was studying for my ACE exam! I've only glanced at the Women's book but all I remember is the illustrations grossing me out!

The two Strength Training anatomy books are actually ONE book in the original French (which I picked up).

The women's version acts like women don't have upper bodies to worry about, as it's primarily lower body exercises.

Yes, I actually purchased this book, read it, and promptly brought it back due to the lack of upper-body info. If it would have been total body, it would have been a keeper.
