The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding

Widely called the bible of bodybuilding, this vast, fully revised edition collects Schwarzenegger’s training knowledge into a single reference. With Bill Dobbins, he covers anatomy, exercises for every muscle group, programme design from beginner to competitive, nutrition, injury prevention, and the history of the sport, illustrated with hundreds of photographs. It’s less a book to read through than one to keep on the shelf and work from. The standard reference for serious lifters.
