The training media is filled with exercises describing form and function of movements for strength training. But, I have always felt they were missing something. That something was visually depicting the actual muscle and supporting muscle employed during the lifting or pulling phase.
Recently I have come across two books depicting in a clear visual fashion those muscles being used. Strength Training Anatomy by Frederic Delavier visibly shows the reader which muscle groups are being targeted by a lifting movement. This book primarily is for the upper body. The companion book, Women’s Strength Anatomy, goes into great detail for the abdominal and lower body.
Both books should be purchased by both males and females to familiarize them with their efforts and act as a guide for strength training.
